Michigan Democratic Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed rebukes CNN question on Israel’s right to exist [Lib4TDX00V6]
“The question about whether Israel has a right to exist is actually quite secondary to whether or not they have a right to our tax dollars.” Abdul El-Sayed, Michigan Democratic Senate Candidate, rebukes Kasie Hunt’s question on Israel’s right to exist in a CNN interview. El-Sayed claims his focus is on providing for Michigan rather than sending money abroad for ‘genocide and apartheid”. El-Sayed is running in the Democratic Primary for the Michigan Senate seat up for grabs at the November midterms. Progressive star Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) has already endorsed his nomination. He has been a longtime critic of Israel’s genocide in Gaza. In January 2024, he called the situation a public health catastrophe and called for a ceasefire.
