17 additional signers join clergy-led ‘Nonnegotiables’ petition demanding concessions from Senate nominee, but with Election Day nearing, he may have little incentive to listen The post More Michigan Jews pressure El-Sayed on Israel as Democrats rally behind him appeared first on The Times of Israel .
A group of 17 prominent Michigan Jewish Democratic elected officials, party leaders, and activists have signed a petition called "Nonnegotiable Michigan" urging Democratic US Senate nominee Dr. Abdul El-Sayed to affirm foundational commitments on Jewish safety, identity, and Israeli statehood. The petition centers on five core commitments, including affirming that Jewish safety is nonnegotiable and supporting Jewish sovereignty in Israel.
The growing roster of signatories includes University of Michigan Regent Mark Bernstein and State Representative Noah Arbit, according to the Jerusalem Post. This expanding backing follows the initial launch of the campaign earlier this month by Michigan rabbis, cantors, and synagogue lay leaders.
The development comes as Democrats rally behind El-Sayed's Senate nomination, with Election Day nearing, he may have little incentive to listen to the petition, The Times of Israel reported.
