A contentious Democratic primary race for a U.S. Senate seat in Michigan has taken a sharp turn, with candidate Haley Stevens accusing her rival, Abdul El-Sayed, of antisemitism. Stevens alleges El-Sayed is unfairly blaming “Jewish Americans” for his campaign’s difficulties. The accusation stems from El-Sayed's vocal criticism of the pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC in the lead-up to the primary election. Stevens argues El-Sayed’s attacks on AIPAC have morphed into targeting Jewish people specifically. El-Sayed has not directly responded to the antisemitism claim but has consistently criticized AIPAC’s influence in American politics. The primary election is days away, intensifying the already heated political environment in the state. This exchange highlights divisions within the Democratic party regarding Israel and the role of lobbying groups.
