<p>Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed has finally said the quiet part out loud.</p>
<p>The far-Left Democratic darling — currently locked in a three-way primary to succeed retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters — blew up his own outreach efforts at a &#8220;Jews for Abdul&#8221; campaign event in Pontiac, Michigan, after admitting he &#8220;struggles&#8221; to answer whether Israel has a right to exist as a Jewish state.</p>
<p>In a leaked audio recording obtained by <a href="https://jewishinsider.com/2026/05/abdul-el-sayed-struggles-israel-right-to-exist-jewish-state/">Jewish Insider</a>, the Bernie Sanders-backed radical didn’t just sidestep the question — he turned on his own audience and demanded they justify Israel’s existence under “liberal values.”</p>
<p>&#8220;I often struggle with the question that people ask in this particular scenario, because what they now ask is, ‘Do you believe in the right of Israel to exist as a Jewish state,’ which, to me, forces the question of a definition of what a Jewish state means,” El-Sayed barked back at an audience member who called him out for dodging inquiries on the Jewish state.</p>
<p>He then took it a step further, aggressively turning the tables on the crowd. “I need folks who want to ask me that question [to explain] what it is that they mean by that, and how that is consistent with any form of liberal values that we say we believe in here in the United States,&#8221; El-Sayed said.</p>

<p dir="ltr" lang="en">SCOOP | Abdul El-Sayed, the far-left Democratic candidate for Michigan’s Senate seat, said at an event with Jewish supporters last week that he struggles to answer questions about whether he believes Israel has a right to exist as a Jewish state.</p>

<p>The epidemiologist and anti-establishment favorite then rolled out the standard far-Left playbook, smearing America&#8217;s ally by accusing Israel of implementing &#8220;apartheid&#8221; in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza. He further grumbled that the question of Israel’s right to exist unfairly overlooks “the rights of people who’ve been displaced by Israeli action” dating back to 1948.</p>
<p>El-Sayed’s statements took place in front of a paltry audience of just a &#8220;few dozen&#8221; people, according to campaign photos — at least one of whom wasn&#8217;t even Jewish, according to Jewish Insider.</p>
<p>The shock audio drops a massive bomb on El-Sayed’s already controversial campaign, which has sent shockwaves of panic through Michigan&#8217;s sizable Jewish community. The leftist Muslim candidate has repeatedly faced fierce backlash for cozying up to toxic anti-Israel extremists.</p>
<p>El-Sayed sparked fury following a terrifying Hezbollah-inspired terrorist attack at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, where a fanatic attempted to murder 140 children by driving an explosive-laden truck into the synagogue&#8217;s preschool. El-Sayed rationalized the near-massacre, declaring that &#8220;hurt people hurt people.&#8221;</p>
<p>Worse yet, El-Sayed followed the synagogue attack by boasting about joint campaign appearances with Hasan Piker — a toxic, self-described Marxist Twitch streamer who has previously slurred Orthodox Jews as &#8220;inbred&#8221; and claimed America deserved the 9/11 terrorist attacks.</p>
<p>Insiders say the leaked audio confirms what critics have warned about for months: El-Sayed is eagerly currying favor with the hardline Islamist political infrastructure in Dearborn. A previous leaked recording already caught El-Sayed ordering his staff to stay silent on the joint U.S.-Israeli elimination of Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei earlier this year, explicitly admitting he didn&#8217;t want to anger Dearborn voters who would be &#8220;sad&#8221; over the death of the theocratic, terror-sponsoring butcher.</p>
<p>El-Sayed’s latest anti-Israel comments make it crystal clear whose side he&#8217;s on.</p>
