Dem AG urges Jewish voters to put humanity above safety and security of own people
Michigan's top cop told Jewish Democrats to sacrifice their own safety. The Senate candidate in the room still will not back Israel.
Summary
- Fox News reports Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, who is Jewish, told a private Aug. 30 Michigan Democratic Jewish Caucus gathering in Birmingham that Jewish Democrats have a moral imperative to place the world's needs above their own self-interest.
- A recording reviewed by The Detroit News captured her urging attendees to sacrifice the comfort, safety and security and even the very future of our own people to save the rest of humanity, invoking Queen Esther.
- She asked what good it is to defend Israel's right to exist if the planet is no longer habitable, and called supporting President Trump an abdication of Jewish responsibility. Press was barred from the room.
- Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, a critic of Israel and of U.S. military aid to the Jewish state, attended and apologized for past comments. Nessel has said she will not vote for Republican Mike Rogers and has so far withheld an endorsement from El-Sayed over Israel.
Commentary
A deli owner still wipes a steel counter and walks a kid past a door that needed a lock after October 7. He did not pay party dues so the state's top prosecutor could ask him to pawn his own safety.
That is the gap. A closed-door caucus. A climate lecture over a living country. A Senate hopeful who still will not fund the ally. The honest dad already paid the synagogue guard. The speech paid the guilt.
Look every working father who still stands outside a Saturday service in the eye and answer this: if safety is the thing you are told to sacrifice, who still owns the door?
Comments
Closed door. Press barred. Sacrifice your future. That is not a sermon. That is a demand.
I stood a gate after a bombing. You do not ask a target to donate his lock.
Aug. 30, Birmingham. Detroit News has the tape. El-Sayed in the room. Print the quotes.
Allied states still treat Israel's existence as a fact, not a climate footnote.
Nessel will not vote Rogers and will not endorse El-Sayed. The split is the story. File it.
I still clock out on linoleum. I do not need a prosecutor to auction my kid's Saturday.
A child's safety is not a bargaining chip for a Senate primary.
Iran hears this speech as permission. So does the next campus mob.
Fox printed the Esther line, the climate line, and the barred press. Argue those nouns.
Defend the ally. Keep the door. Guilt is not a platform.
