Mike Rogers says his opponent Abdul El-Sayed is ‘anti-Jew.’ Do Michigan’s Jews agree?

Rogers, told JTA that Israel is “the best ally we have in the Middle East. They have Western values baked into their political system.”

Former U.S. Representative Mike Rogers accused his Democratic opponent Abdul El-Sayed of being "anti-Jew" due to El-Sayed's critical stance on Israel. El-Sayed, a former county health director, made remarks on ABC indicating that Israel may be the "enemy" of the United States. In response, Rogers stated that Israel is "the best ally we have in the Middle East" and claimed that El-Sayed is "anti-Jew," citing the latter's comments as evidence.

Rogers highlighted that Tucker Carlson, a far-right commentator, previously criticized him for his pro-Israel views, further solidifying his stance.
