“I oppose blank-check military aid to Israel, just as I oppose blank-check military aid to any foreign country. Every dollar spent on bombs abroad is a dollar we failed to invest in our own kids here at home. We have a responsibility to both invest our money in Americans and hold ourselves to international law.”

El-Sayed defies Democratic Party’s establishment on Gaza in Senate race
Israel's war in Gaza has become a major dividing line in Michigan’s Democratic Senate race as more voters begin sympathizing with Palestinians.Abdul El-Sayed, a progressive Democrat and former public health director in Wayne County, has consistently opposed U.S. military aid and criticized Israel’s treatment of Palestinians, calling the war in Gaza "a genocide." Meanwhile, his opponent, U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens, has embraced Zionism and received more than $1.2 million from pro-Israel groups. And state Sen. Mallory McMorrow traveled to Israel on a trip sponsored by a prominent pro-Israel organization and attended a private pro-Israel leadership event early in her Senate campaign, only to shift her rhetoric as public opinions change.
