Following Dr. Abdul El-Sayed's victory in the Michigan Democratic Senate primary, Morton Klein, national president of the Zionist Organization of America, stated that Jews should prioritize their safety and the security of Israel when voting. Klein, whose parents survived the Holocaust, urged Jews to "take very seriously any threats or condemnations of the Jewish people or Israel." He emphasized that "the safety and security of Jews and the Jewish state should now become the priority when we decide whom to vote for," making all other issues secondary due to rising antisemitism. Klein criticized El-Sayed for describing the Israeli government as “bloodthirsty” and “as evil as Hamas,” and for campaigning with an "America-hating, Jew-hating, Israel hater, Hasan Piker." While acknowledging that criticizing any government's policies is legitimate, Klein asserted that solely condemning Israel's policies, without addressing other nations, suggests "Jew-hatred."
