Lifelong Dem Ditches El-Sayed Over Islamic Terror Justification
24th September 2026
A teacher at the Michigan synagogue and preschool attacked by an Islamic terrorist in May stated that she would not be voting for Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, despite being a lifelong Democrat, because of his apparent lack of regard for the Jewish community.
After the attack took place, which began after a heavily armed Hezbollah-aligned terrorist rammed his car into the Temple Israel synagogue in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan, El-Sayed justified the attack by stating that “hurt people hurt people.”
The attacker’s family members, who were also identified as Hezbollah fighters, were killed in Lebanon by an Israeli strike prior to the attack.
“Abdul El-Sayed stands for everything that I believe in, everything, except that he does not support the Jewish community,” Elise Otis, the teacher at Temple Israel, said. That is a big point for me. I have children, and God willing, will have grandchildren one day, and nieces and nephews, but he doesn’t support them, so I can’t support him.”
“I don’t feel safe, I don’t feel safe with him,” Otis added.
No should you. Nor should anyone.
