Michigan Primary Democrat Results That Break My Heart

 Nadene Goldfoot                                               

Abdul  El Sayed won the primary race with 48.53% of the votes . 

He ran against Haley Stevens had 47.5% of the votes, so it was split down the middle with voting.  

Now the voters have chosen a man who stands for this: 

Sayed is A progressive Democrat, El-Sayed supports Medicare for All, and in  enforcing an arms embargo on Israel and abolishing ICE. He ran for governor in 2018, placing second to Gretchen Whitmer in the Democratic primary.  

He is the son of Egyptian immigrant parents. His father, Mohamed, was raised in Alexandria, Egypt, and immigrated to the U.S. to pursue a PhD at Wayne State University. His mother, Fatten Elkomy, is a nurse practitioner in Missouri. Abdul was raised in the Detroit area by his father and stepmother Jacqueline (a native of Gratiot County, Michigan), both of whom are engineers. Sayed is also a Muslim.  In 2014, he completed a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, funded by a Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans and the Medical Scientist Training Program El-Sayed did not pursue a medical license, and instead went into

public health epidemiology work.

  Me wanting to educate people about being able to tell Lies from the Truth, all my life a teacher-a lover of our history below...

 

I'll continue about his feelings about Israel as that is of importance to me.  El-Sayed has criticized Israel over its conduct in the Gaza war, calling it a genocide; in a January 2024 podcast, he called the war in the Gaza Strip a public health catastrophe and called for a ceasefire. El-Sayed has called the Gaza genocide a morality test, asking: "If you can't call it what it is, which is a genocide, then how are you going to stand up to Donald Trump? How are you going to stand up to pharma CEOs? 

 The definition of genocide is:  specific acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. The term was coined in 1944 by lawyer Raphael Lemkin and codified by the United Nations in the 1948 Genocide Convention. In no way has Israel practiced genocide on the Palestinians or any other group.  The Nazis did commit genocide on the Jews of the world.  Jews, of which I am, are the least in this world to do this to anyone.  We live under the Golden rule of not treating others as we wouldn't want others to treat us.  That is why its so hard on us.  We are living in a war period where Iran wants to wipe us out for their radical religious goal, and we cannot be complicit in helping them, for heaven's sake;  Israel is fighting for its very life, a life we thought safe once under the United Nations.  We're fighting to stay alive, to be a state that was born in 1948...78 years ago and is now the center of Shi'a Muslim's plans of destruction.

Sayed goes on:  He delivers the term, ethno state:  Definition is: An ethnostate is a political unit or country where citizenship and national identity are explicitly limited to, or dominated by, a single racial or ethnic group. In this system, the state is organized to serve the interests, culture, and power of that specific group while excluding or subordinating others. For his information, Israel is a Jewish state, all right, but differing from the Muslim state of Saudi Arabia in that 20% of the population are Muslims and other denominations. It is Jewish because we have had experience in other states that were deplorable, and learned, we needed a refuge of our own, and why not go back to our own roots?   We can not allow ourselves to be swallowed up by other religious dictates;  we know how they turn out;  been there, done that.  

In April 2026, El-Sayed said in a CNN interview: "Killing tens of thousands of people makes you pretty damn evil. It's not how evil is this one versus that one. Hamas: evil. Israeli government: evil. We can say both." In July, he said, "The question of Israel's existence is not a question. I'm not going to play this gotcha game about whether or not it has a right to exist. The question, ultimately, is about whether or not we want a politics that dignifies equal rights." 

Oh, give me a break, the others in our country of Israel are #1 citizens, not 2nd class citizens like we had been in Arab countries and Christian countries.  Just look at their record.  

El-Sayed believes Israel to be an ethno-state and has said, "I don't believe in ethno-states, and I certainly don't believe that our country is responsible to sustain ethno-states." He has said his rejection of ethno-nationalism has nothing to do with whether a country has a "right to exist", saying he "just [disputes] the idea that you should have an ethno-state" and objects to Egyptian and Saudi Arabian ethno-nationalism in the same way he objects to Zionism. (Sure, he does--he is living in a dream)

El-Sayed attributed the 2026 Iran war to AIPAC's influence in US politics. He called Israel a "rogue state" that is committing "human rights abuses, genocide, and apartheid" and said the U.S. should "stop funding the Israeli military unilateral blank checks". People like El-Sayed have even managed to change Jews into people just going along with the crowd, not checking into facts;  and this is more disturbing to me than anything.  I've seen them protest against AIPAC, Israel, and so their ignorance of their own original roots.  

Ah hah, that's what he's trying to do:  Well, the money Israel has received is another story-center of another of my blogs;  the money has kept a lot of American businesses going, surprisingly.  He hasn't checked into this at all.  USA doesn't just give money away, period, at least not to Israel. it's a "you scratch my back and I'll scratch your back as I see it.  We have helped each other.  And today, Israel has even announced the need for not being under the USA thumb as much as time allowed it to happen, that Israel is a state and does not owe their soul to the company store anymore. They are now just friends, mates in the fight for democracy, freedom and respect.                            

American Israel Public Affairs Committee.(AIPAC) It is a prominent American lobbying organization that advocates for pro-Israel policies in the United States government and aims to strengthen the relationship between the U.S. and Israel. It's our only connection to the world and does the job correctly.  

And El-Sayed is being backed to the hilt by George Soros financially. He will have to run against Mike Rogers, the Republican.  George has lots of money.
