民主党の上院候補であるアブドゥル・エルサイード氏は、選挙イベントの支持者に対し、イスラエルがユダヤ人国家として存続する権利を持っているかという問いに答えるのに苦慮していると語った。
エルサイード氏は先週、ミシガン州ポンティアックで開催された「アブドゥルのためのユダヤ人（Jews for Abdul）」イベントでこの発言を行った。ジューイッシュ・インサイダーが入手した流出音声によると、同氏は「ユダヤ人国家」の定義を強いる質問であるため、この問いにはしばしば苦慮すると述べている。さらに、この問いを投げかける人々に対し、彼らの考えが米国のリベラルな価値観とどのように一致するのかを説明すべきだと付け加えた。
