AIPAC Leads 400 Jewish Democrats To Endorse Mike Rogers

WALLY RASHID: Many Jewish Democrats are very upset with Abdul Al-Sayed in Michigan, that over 400 of them actually signed a letter backing Republican Mike Rogers over Abdul Al-Sayed.

And this letter, of course, was spearheaded by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, AIPAC.

So I want you guys to take a listen to this clip here, and then I'm going to show you an article as well.

As you know, AIPAC, which is at the center of this letter, the people I know associated with it are all long-time AIPAC insiders and supporters.

AIPAC represents a distinctly minority position about Israel and Palestine within the Jewish community.

Most Jews, like two-thirds of Jews in the United States in Michigan, believe strongly in a two-state solution, that the only hope for a secure and peaceful future for our people, the Jewish people in the Holy Land, in Israel, is to realize the political and human rights of the Palestinian people.

So that's, you know, this is a minority group within the Jewish community, and it's not a huge surprise to me.

And also, all these forces that you're reporting, like, breathlessly, oh my God, there's a letter and some Jewish people say they're going to vote for the Republican.

AIPAC already spent 30, over $30 million against him in the primary.

Is this big news, that they're going to continue to fight him?

So, interesting, interesting statement there.

This is being posted by APAC Tracker.

However, we can't really just totally ignore this.

He says that AIPAC represents a minority within the Jewish viewpoint in Michigan as well, and that two-thirds support a two-state solution.

Okay, well, if two-thirds support a two-state solution, then Abdul Al-Sayed would actually be the perfect person to that, for that, because unlike Hailey Stevens, you actually have to impose pressure on Israel to make that come about.

And he's the only one that would actually be willing to do that, so I would assume he would get all the vote there.

AIPAC, they say it again, AIPAC's viewpoint is a minority, yet here's the thing, we have millions of dollars being donated to AIPAC by major Jewish Zionist donors, major Jewish Zionist donors.

You can go to my website, vote-log.org, and you can click the insights, uh, or investigation, I did, on APAC's top 50 donors; many of them are just Jewish Zionist billionaires, the number one being actually the founder of WhatsApp.

Okay, so despite the minority, there is massive influence there that we can't just simply ignore.

400 letters from Jewish Democrats in Michigan.

The fact that they're actively endorsing Mike Rogers and that there's an actual X account created by a Jewish Zionist Democrat in Michigan called "Democrats for Mike Rogers," and there's pushing this sort of pressure on this, it's not something you could just simply ignore.

There was an article that was also posted, this article was posted on, in Vox, and the headline of the article is, "The Jewish Democrats trying to get a yes on Abdul Al-Sayed."

And of course it talks a lot about his disagreement, their disagreements with him specifically about Hassan Piker.

And here's something that I found interesting, what's the fourth issue?

And the article says, and let me, um, let me go ahead and center it here, um, there we go, the article goes ahead and says, "While this is not so much about Abdul specifically as it is about the left, a lot of progressives get that you should condemn anti-Semitism or bigotry against the Jewish religion, but many don't seem to grasp that Judaism is not a religion, it is also a people, and that we do have several thousand-year connection with the land of Israel, not the leadership, not the current government, but with the land itself."

And so that makes the distinction between anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism complicated.

You know, they try to say, well, as long as you give up Israel, then Judaism is fine.

Many of us can't do that because it's an intrinsic part of who we are.

"Is there no distinction between recognizing Jews' historical and religious connection and being committed to the maintenance of a Jewish majority state in the Middle East?"

In other words, there are anti-Zionists who deny Jewish roots in Israel or the right of Jewish Israelis to live in the region, but I think most progressive anti-Zionists would dispute neither of those things.

Rather, they'd argue that Israeli Jews have a right to live in their land, but maintaining a majority Jewish Israel should not take precedence over allowing Palestinian refugees and their descendants to return to their ancestral territories.

And it goes on, and it says it's definitely true that there are many different types of anti-Zionists, and those extremists have led people to think Zionism, Zionism is Jews get to take over everything.

I think for most people, though, however, it's somewhere in between, which is basically a more mainstream two-state solution type.

I don't know how feasible that is versus a kumbaya, let's all live together in peace, in my view.

So I find that pretty interesting, and they still think here that, I don't understand, you know, you read all of this, and the more I read it, the more I'm like, okay, cool, then vote for Abdul Al-Sayed.

You vote for Hailey Stevens, you're not going to get a two-state solution.

It doesn't matter how much you keep saying she supports a two-state solution, there has not been a singular policy position, not a single one, towards a two-state solution.

She was recently interviewed by the Jerusalem Post when she was in Israel recently, she was there last week or the week before, and she was there in Haifa, that's how she said it, in Haifa.

And when she was there, she was interviewed, and she talked about how Bernie Sanders actually has done nothing for peace in the Middle East, and that Bernie Sanders' ideology, she doesn't know where it comes from, maybe Jihad.

That's what Hailey Stevens said when she was interviewed on the Jerusalem Post.

Now, of course, if you go to Bernie Sanders' voting record on Israel, which I think Abdul Al-Sayed's is going to be pretty similar, you can go to my website here, vote-log.org, and if you search up Bernie Sanders' voting record on Israel, he's the number one most pro-Palestine politician.

But if you click on his votes and bills, I mean, it's, a lot of it is actually supporting a two-state solution.

Reeling in Israel, sanctions in the West Bank Act, okay, sanctioning violent settlers, well, you would want to do that in order to impose a two-state solution on Israel.

You know, so everything he's done is very supportive of a two-state solution, recognizing that Palestinians and Israelis are, you know, their lives are of equal weight.

Again, very, like, things that you would expect that somebody that supports a two-state solution would put forward, yet Hailey Stevens hasn't put here is the sense of the Senate regarding the value of Palestinian and Israeli lives, and urging an immediate ceasefire and diplomatic efforts to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Isn't that, like, he's the lead sponsor of that, that is a two-state solution bill.

Hailey Stevens, she doesn't support bills like this, yet she keeps crying about her being a two-state solution.

So the, what I say is that these two-thirds of Jewish Democrats in Michigan that say they support a two-state solution, then Abdul Al-Sayed would be the person that you would support, because he's actually the one who's going to say, oh, Israeli and Palestinian lives are equal here, let's put a two-state solution, or let's solve the Israel-Palestine conflict, it's also in U.S. national security interests to finally stabilize the damn Middle East. Because the Abraham Accords that sidelines the Palestinians is not the way that you do that.

It's not, it's not the way. You want to normalize ties with Israel and the rest of the, the rest of the Middle East, well, you do that by giving Palestinians freedom.

You don't do that by sidelining the number one fundamental issue that's right there in the middle of all of the conflict.

But that's what they, they think.

So, you know, now, how much traction this is going to get, or how much, how effective it's going to be, we're going to have to wait and see.

I want you guys to read, I want to show you guys this, though.

Somebody states, Jamie Mitzel, Abdul Rahman, Abdul Rahman Mohammad Al-Sayed is a toxic candidate, not because of his name, ethnicity, or religion, but because of his own bigoted positions and his deeply troubling affiliations with the DSA and anti-American radicals like Hassan Piker.

I say this as a Democrat and lifelong human rights activist.

So the guy says, "Abdul Rahman Al-Mohammad Al-Sayed is not a toxic candidate because of his name."

You could have just said Abdul Al-Sayed.

I thought you said you don't give a damn about his name, so why the hell are you saying his full name? Let's not, let's not play stupid.

This guy here, he's like, he's this Israeli propagandist, he has a decent following, and he's, you know, he's very pro-Israel, obviously, he's an author, and he calls himself a human rights activist.

Where the hell is the human rights here?

I find it funny, though, because he keeps talking, he uses his full name and mocks him for his name, and then says it's not about his name.

And Abdul Al-Sayed is not, is not affiliated with the DSA, by the way.

But his name is Jamie Mitzel. I mean, Mitzel is a very Jewish last name.

I don't see somebody stating, oh, hey, Mitzel, every single time you make a post about Israel, I'm going to keep bringing up Mitzel, Mitzel, Mitzel.

You know, it's, it's, you don't do that because it's rude, yet, okay, Abdul Rahman Mohammad Al-Sayed, oh wow, really, showing your true colors there, dude.

And then you talk about being a human rights activist, like the cherry, the cherry on top of the cake.

What is this, the icing on top of the cake?

I mean, you know, so we're seeing, I've kind of gotten really fed up. I think you guys can start to see where I'm seeing all this propaganda out, and it's so hypocritical, and it's so one-sided.

And I think, okay, well, if it was the other way, you guys would lose your absolute minds.

So why don't we just tone things down, because I'm one of the people that's actually willing to just call that out and actually use it against you.

So it's better, Mitzel, that you don't do that.

You don't call, talk about Abdul Rahman Mohammad Al-Sayed because your last name is Mitzel.

So it's really not, I don't see what's any better here.

If you don't want people highlighting the fact that your last name is Mitzel, then don't highlight the fact that his last, his middle name is Mohammad.

I don't know, I don't know, like, what is this?

So, and again, you know, this is a guy that's constantly been talking about him, we're seeing all this stuff over and over, it's, it's enough.
