Summary
Middle Eastern American candidate Abdul El-Sayed, running for Michigan’s U.S. Senate, shares nearly two dozen donors with former Republican candidate Dan Bilzerian, whose campaign included antisemitic attacks. Both El-Sayed and Bilzerian have criticized U.S. support for Israel and called for ending aid to the Jewish state. Bilzerian supported Trump’s deportation efforts, while El-Sayed advocates for abolishing ICE. Shared donors contributed over $61,000 to both campaigns. Bilzerian lost to Rep. Randy Fine, whose campaign faced criticism for antisemitic remarks. El-Sayed has faced scrutiny for associations with figures linked to Hamas.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Donors give to both sides of the aisle.
Candidates say the same things about Israel.
Antisemitism and criticism of Israel overlap.
It’s a routine of shared concerns and divided loyalties.
