Iman Dashti, a student at the University of Michigan, confronted Abdul El-Sayed at a town hall event and pressed El-Sayed on whether he stood unequivocally against the IRGC.

"I haven't heard anything from you about the protesters, Abdul," an audience member said. "That silence had a gaping hole in our community and I want to ask if you regret that silence"

The resolution, introduced by Rep. Gina Johnsen, emphasizes that "The State of Israel has a right to exist, and denying this is a form of antisemitism."

"We talked about the work we can do together to build a more just and peaceful future for our communities here in Michigan," El-Sayed wrote in the post, adding "Shana tova and shavua tov!"

An evacuation order within one mile of the site was issued by the Grand Traverse County Emergency Management, and a shelter has been established at the nearby Kensington Church.

Sander Levin endorses Abdul El-Sayed despite disagreements over Israel, as Michigan Jewish voters remain divided.

“We applaud Fair Lane’s commitment to addressing Henry Ford’s antisemitism publicly,” Catherine Cangany, CEO of the Jewish Historical Society of Michigan, said.

The outcome of the races could decide whether Democrats gain the three seats needed to reclaim control of the chamber from Republicans.

“I think that Israel is more than just a punching bag for some of the challenges that America is facing," Congresswoman Haley Stevens told the Post in an interview.

Meanwhile, several of the state’s Jewish leaders signed a petition pledging to vote for Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s GOP opponent.
