Candidato ao Senado por Michigan tem dificuldade em afirmar o direito de existência de Israel

O candidato democrata ao Senado Abdul El-Sayed disse a apoiadores em um evento de campanha que tem dificuldade em responder se Israel tem o direito de existir como um Estado judeu.

El-Sayed fez os comentários em um evento intitulado “Jews for Abdul” (Judeus por Abdul) em Pontiac, Michigan, na semana passada. Em áudio vazado obtido pelo Jewish Insider, ele afirmou que frequentemente luta com a questão porque ela força uma definição sobre o que significa um Estado judeu. Ele acrescentou que aqueles que fazem a pergunta deveriam explicar como a visão deles se alinha aos valores liberais nos Estados Unidos.
