Jewish leaders in Michigan are circulating an open letter urging Jewish Democrats and independents in the battleground state to sign their names in support of former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) as he faces Abdul El-Sayed, the far-left Democratic nominee for Senate whose hostile positions on Israel have alarmed many Jewish voters.
The letter, which was obtained by Jewish Insider on Wednesday and has not yet been publicized, is led by Eric Bronstein, a Detroit businessman, among others identifying as Democrats and independents.
It came to light after a fundraiser for Rogers on Tuesday night hosted by three prominent Jewish Democratic bundlers in Michigan who are likewise alarmed by El-Sayed’s candidacy. The growing efforts among Jewish Democrats to rally support for Rogers in the key Senate race illustrate the degree to which El-Sayed has alienated a sizable and politically active swing voting bloc in what is expected to be a close election.
Remember: they’re JEWISH leaders with JEWISH concerns. Thats all. They’re just worried for their fellow jewish people. I mean, if isreal stops killing just everyone they possibly can, think of what that means for jews around the world! /i’m not even sure if this is sarcasm
Sooooo Nazis. Jewish American Nazis. Wild world we live in.
This shit is bananas because I never hear the left say anything anti-Semitic.
But, i just saw a Trump supporter who was mad about Flock blame Jews for Flock.
Soooooooo yeah. The call is coming from inside the house.
They basically flip the term around. IE criticizing a specific government, is anti-semetic. Blanket blaming an entire population of people for things they aren’t even directly associated with, is OK.
This will only make actual antisemitism (the kind you describe) worse. The authors of this letter are telling Jewish voters to abandon any principles they have regarding their own country - it doesn’t matter if you support abortion rights, believe in funding public education and social welfare, or just oppose the Trump / fascist agenda. None of that matters compared to supporting Israel. It’s the antisemitic “dual loyalty” trope come to life.
Party traitors.
You can drop “party”. They’re convincing people to vote for the worse candidate because that worse candidate is more likely to approve policies to support and subsidize a parasitic foreign nation.
They are absolutely traitors to the USA.
Don’t divide by party lines. Those times are over, and arguably have always been. Now it’s about neoliberals, fascists and leftists. The neoliberals pretend to care, but too often side with fascists.
Should be corrected to “Michigan Jewish conservatives pretending to be Dems circulars letter…”
Even more accurate would be Michigan Zionists. Don’t let them get away with pretending this is about Judaism. Its about denying the liberation of the Palestinian people and continuing the ongoing oppression and genocide.
No pretending going on here. For a lot of establishment Democrats this has been standard operating procedure. We absolutely need to change what a Democrat is and make it not include people like them though. And the fact they’re reacting like this. Indicates that they know just how painfully vulnerable they are now that the DSA is directly targeting them and not just running third party.
No, the title is accurate. There are a bunch of people that I’ve run into that flat out said if the DSA candidate for governor on my state won, they’d vote Republican.
Some people here in the Midwest have IQs that rival the average temp, it fucking sucks to hear that they’d rather support the people murdering people in the street over a DSA candidate.
In all fairness, no one really knows what “Dem” even means anymore, besides a vague promise to not be as awful as the republicans, which the dems dont live up to where Israel is concerned.
There was never any doubt, the moderates will try to sabotage progressives in the general election.
Their main purpose is not to beat republicans and keep them out of office, it’s to keep control of the party.
As always, the “moderates” are weaponizing jewish people to keep control. Fuck you Starmer by the way you fucking cunt.
What happened to “Blue no matter who?”
Seems like that particular messaging got real quiet once the DSA started winning.
Well, being disingenuous with literally ever fucking word they speak has worked wonders for Republicans. Turns out to be an effective technique for Corporate and Zionist Democrats too. It’s almost like a class war or something.
Yeah, they’ve successfully conflated anti-genocide with anti-Zionist with anti-semitism. It’s quite an accomplishment really - no one would believe that goal if you said it out loud
Well, not THAT blue.
“Blue U2??”
Dumbasses. Mike Rogers would run the gas chambers if Trump wanted him to.
Israel…El-Sayed isn’t supporting Israel… that’s why these Zionist are wanting to have their followers vote for the GOP…
That might be why they endorsed him. Israel supports which ever does what they say… and el Sayed almost certainly won’t.
by the way, very good hair there, Mr Mike!
Netanyahu, is that you?
This is neat. Do you know the source? Is it actually Seuss?
Before he could find work as an author, Seuss had a run of amazing political cartoons leading up to and during World War II. They are archived at some college web site called “Seuss Goes To War”.
Oh, yikes. I wouldn’t say it’s, altogether, his best work

Some of the racist characters are definitely “of the time”. I always show them to my seventh grade civics students to point out how propaganda works (and to make sure they don’t hold their heroes too close).
You lost me at “far-left”.
I like (not really) how Mike Rogers is described in the mildest manner but Sayed is described in boogeyman terms.
And he “alienated” the genocide lovers. Mild criticism that’s fully in line with the mainstream Democratic voter alienated these special babies that must be coddled by the rest of the party.
Excuse me, that’s “Mr” Mike Rogers!!!
Welcome to the new Democratic party, with a tent so big it includes Republicans!?
“Vote for a literal Nazi who wants to put us all in modern-day concentration camps and gas chambers all so scawwy brown man no get powuh.”
