Abdul El-Sayed Becomes First Senate Candidate Backed by Pro-Palestine Jewish Group

Abdul El-Sayed, a Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan, has received endorsement from Jewish Voice for Peace Action, a pro-Palestine Jewish group known for anti-Zionist activism. This marks the first time such a group has backed a Senate candidate. El-Sayed is running in a three-way race against Rep. Haley Stevens, a centrist supported by the Democratic establishment and pro-Israel groups, and State Sen. Mallory McMorrow, a progressive with endorsements from figures like Sen. Elizabeth Warren and J Street. El-Sayed has criticized Israel's actions in Gaza and has the backing of prominent Democrats like Bernie Sanders and progressive lawmakers. His campaign aligns with growing pro-Palestine sentiment among voters, particularly amid concerns over Israel's policies toward Palestinians. Jewish Voice for Peace has organized protests across various locations, including college campuses, Wall Street, and the U.S. Capitol, and supports legislation opposing Israeli military actions.
