El-Sayed distances himself from Hasan Piker as Jewish Democrats question his Israel stance

Michigan Democratic US Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed has distanced himself from prominent anti-Israel livestreamer Hasan Piker following Piker's controversial comments on American Jews and Israel. Piker stated, "If Jews in America keep putting this idea out there that they are singularly invested in Israel, eventually someone's going to come around and take action," and referred to Israel as "Jewish ISIS." El-Sayed responded by reiterating his "commitment to Jewish safety" and denouncing "any rhetoric that puts the community at risk." The incident has intensified scrutiny of El-Sayed's stance on Israel and his association with Piker, impacting his relationships with Jewish Democrats and other party members ahead of the November election.
