El-Sayed was warned about Hasan Piker
There is something deeply unsettling about being repeatedly told how much someone loves you while listening to him vilify so much of what matters to you.Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, Michigan’s Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate, says: “All of us love and revere Jewish folk, our Jewish neighbors, the faith of Judaism.” He also insists that “I stand deeply and profoundly against antisemitism.”Profess affection for Jews. Condemn antisemitism.

Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is facing scrutiny for his rhetoric and association with streamer Hasan Piker, despite El-Sayed's claims of standing against antisemitism and loving "Jewish folk." The article highlights El-Sayed's past criticisms of Israel, including calling it a "rogue state" and accusing it of "genocide and apartheid," and his equating the Israeli government with Hamas as "evil."
- El-Sayed reportedly declined to affirm Israel's right to exist.
- Following an attack on Temple Israel in Michigan, El-Sayed condemned the act but connected it to the Middle East, mentioning "genocide in Gaza."
- He chose to campaign with Hasan Piker, despite warnings from Jewish leaders about Piker's "repeated antisemitic rhetoric."
- Piker recently issued a controversial statement, warning American Jews that if they continue identifying with Israel, "eventually, someone’s going to come around and take action," and accused them of "making antisemitism worse."
El-Sayed later disavowed Piker's remarks, stating Piker does not speak for his campaign, but the article deems this response "convenient, artificial and entirely unconvincing—and too little, too late," given El-Sayed's prior knowledge of Piker's record.
