Jewish Democrats in Michigan face a potential dilemma in the upcoming Senate race. Some are considering supporting Republican candidate Mike Rogers if Abdul El-Sayed wins the Democratic nomination.

Before the primary election on August 4, Jewish donors expressed concerns to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency about El-Sayed becoming the Democratic nominee. He has criticized Israel, prompting several Jewish fundraisers to see Rogers as a viable alternative.

“There are leaders in our Jewish community who are longtime Democrats and fundraisers, who are concerned about their party’s direction,” said Dennis Bernard from the Jewish Federations of North America.

Retired banker Neil Gorosh shared his struggle, stating he would vote for Rogers over El-Sayed but would not financially support him. Gorosh emphasized the need to inform friends about his choice.

Other Jewish Democrats are focusing on electing El-Sayed’s opponent, Rep. Haley Stevens, known for supporting Israel’s right to exist. An anonymous Jewish leader urged those invested in U.S.-Israel relations to vote for Stevens in the primary.

El-Sayed’s past comments have fueled controversy, including a suggestion that Israel is “just as evil” as Hamas. His association with figures like Hasan Piker, who criticized Israel, has heightened concerns.

El-Sayed has not clearly stated his stance on Israel’s right to exist. He has equated the Israeli government with Hamas, calling both “evil” due to the violence. These statements have sparked accusations of antisemitism throughout his campaign.

Shimon Levy, an Israeli-American entrepreneur, voiced strong distrust of El-Sayed, encouraging Jewish voters to reassess their Democratic allegiance based on survival instincts.

Fox News Digital did not receive immediate responses from El-Sayed’s campaign when asked for comments.
