Un candidat au Sénat du Michigan hésite à reconnaître le droit à l'existence d'Israël

Le candidat démocrate au Sénat, Abdul El-Sayed, a déclaré à ses partisans lors d'un événement de campagne qu'il avait du mal à répondre à la question de savoir si Israël avait le droit d'exister en tant qu'État juif.

El-Sayed a fait ces commentaires lors d'un événement intitulé « Jews for Abdul » à Pontiac, dans le Michigan, la semaine dernière. Dans un enregistrement audio obtenu par Jewish Insider, il a affirmé qu'il est souvent confronté à cette question car elle impose une définition de ce qu'est un État juif. Il a ajouté que les personnes posant cette question devraient expliquer en quoi leur point de vue s'accorde avec les valeurs libérales aux États-Unis.
