In this segment, a video obtained by the Midwesterner reveals insights from a Jewish supporter of El-Sayed, who expresses concerns about El-Sayed's stance on Israel. The co-founder of Jews for Abdul outlines three key issues where El-Sayed's communication could be improved: Israel's right to exist, the use of the term "genocide," and the cessation of aid to Israel. Kyle Olson, founder of the Midwesterner, discusses how these positions alienate Jewish voters. Olson criticizes El-Sayed's for not acknowledging Israel's right to exist and for refusing to discuss Israel's right to self-defense. The conversation also touches on the political implications of El-Sayed's views and the broader strategy of Democratic candidates in Michigan. Additionally, the segment delves into Jocelyn Benson's history, particularly her role in the creation of a hate map that labeled various organizations as hate groups, which had significant negative impacts on those organizations.
