密歇根州民主党总检察长达娜·内塞尔正对本党参议院候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德表达担忧，称其针对密歇根州一所犹太会堂未遂恐怖袭击的回应似乎在为“国内恐怖主义”开脱，并警告其党内日益抬头的反以色列情绪。
自2019年起担任密歇根州总检察长的内塞尔，在接受《大西洋月刊》大卫·弗鲁姆的长篇采访时表示，作为犹太人，她在出席本州民主党代表大会时感到不安全，部分原因是“民主党内部存在大量反犹太主义情绪”。
内塞尔特别抨击了埃尔赛义德对今年早些时候密歇根州犹太会堂袭击事件的反应。联邦调查人员称，一名真主党煽动并激进化的枪手驾车撞入礼拜场所，企图杀害尽可能多的犹太人。
“但你知道，针对这起事件的反应，显然有很多人迅速发声谴责。但最令人担忧的，当然是我们的联邦参议员候选人发表的声明，他说‘受伤的人会伤害他人’，”内塞尔解释道。“我们很多人都认为这是在为一名企图杀害100多名学龄前儿童的人开脱。这种心态令我非常反感。”

内塞尔随后回顾了自己对2019年基督城清真寺大屠杀的应对措施：她造访了迪尔伯恩的一座清真寺，头戴头巾以示尊重，并明确谴责了伊斯兰恐惧症。她将这一应对方式与埃尔赛义德对圣殿以色列会堂袭击事件的反应进行了对比。
“我不会去纠结，比如，杀害这些人的凶手的动机是什么，他是否有心理健康问题？”内塞尔说。“他是否曾与穆斯林有过不愉快的经历？我只是明确地谴责了这一行为，我认为人们在应对圣殿以色列会堂袭击事件时也应该这么做。你不能为这种国内恐怖主义行为找借口。”
内塞尔称赞埃尔赛义德近几个月来对犹太领袖的外联工作，但表示他应该就袭击事件后的言论公开道歉。

“我认为私下里，他会说他后悔发表了那些言论，”内塞尔说。“但现在已经快到8月底了，他仍然没有收回这些声明，没有说‘我说错了’或者‘我现在意识到了这些言论造成的伤害’。这让我担心他实际上是认可这些言论的。”
内塞尔敦促埃尔赛义德承认自己错了，倾听犹太利益相关者的意见，并公开改变立场，正如她在面对自己过去的无知时所做的那样。她表示，她还敦促他更好地了解犹太宗教信仰，并指出埃尔赛义德在初选后提到“与犹太人共度逾越节共餐”，而逾越节期间人们刻意不食用面包。
“但我问过，你能不能多了解一点我们的宗教，这样你就能理解了？”内塞尔说。“你能不能多了解一点，或许超出你的信息茧房告诉你的关于以色列的历史以及它与犹太人民的关系？”

“因为现在，当我和他交谈时，似乎真的缺乏对这些事情的历史知识、政治知识和宗教知识。再说一次，我也承认我们所有人都有机会学习更多。”
内塞尔明确表示，她不打算支持本州的共和党参议院候选人迈克·罗杰斯，并称“砍掉自己的右臂”也不会投票给他，因为“让共和党在参议院占据多数席位极其危险”。
“至于阿卜杜勒，我想说的是：我们在总体信仰、原则和政策方面有很多共同点，”内塞尔说。“我认为这一点很重要，我认为强调并重申这一事实很重要。相信我，在我的个人信仰、政治信仰以及关于美国和美国参议院应该如何发展的哲学信仰方面，我与阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德的共同点远比与迈克·罗杰斯多得多。”
福克斯新闻数字频道已联系埃尔赛义德的竞选团队置评。
今年3月，除了引发内塞尔不满的争议性视频声明外，埃尔赛义德还发表了一份声明，称他在得知犹太会堂袭击事件后“感到震惊和心碎”。
“致我的犹太兄弟姐妹，你们有权在和平中敬拜，”埃尔赛义德说。“你们有权早上送孩子去犹太会堂，晚上平安回家。你们有权知道自己的宗教身份和信仰实践受到尊重。美国没有反犹太主义的容身之地。因此，今天以及每一天，我都与所有珍视按自己选择的方式祈祷的权利的人们站在一起，反对一切形式的反犹太主义和仇恨。”
埃尔赛义德因反复抨击以色列和美国以色列公共事务委员会，以及公开与左翼流媒体主播哈桑·皮克尔交往，而遭到犹太团体、民主党同僚和共和党人的广泛批评。

Michigan Dem AG turns on El-Sayed over terror attack response, warns of mentality that ‘bothers me a lot’

Michigan’s Attorney General Dana Nessel says the Democratic Senate nominee should publicly retract his remarks following Temple Israel attack
By Andrew Mark Miller Fox News
Michigan’s Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel is voicing concerns about her party’s Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed, saying his response to the attempted terrorist attack on a Michigan synagogue appeared to make excuses for “domestic terrorism” as she warns about increasing anti-Israel sentiments in her party.
Nessel, Michigan’s attorney general since 2019, spoke at length in an interview with The Atlantic’s David Frum about her position that she doesn’t feel safe as a Jewish person attending her own state party’s convention due in part to “an enormous amount of anti-Semitism within the Democratic Party.”
Nessel specifically took issue with El-Sayed’s response to the synagogue attack in Michigan earlier this year when federal investigators say a gunman inspired and radicalized by Hezbollah crashed into the place of worship seeking to kill as many Jewish people as he could.
“But, you know, the reaction to it, obviously there’s a lot of people who were quick to call this out. But, you know, I think most concerning, of course, was the statement that our nominee for U.S. Senate made, which was that ‘hurt people hurt people,’” Nessel explained. “And a lot of us perceived that as sort of making excuses for somebody who sought to murder over 100 pre-K schoolchildren. And that’s the kind of mentality that bothers me a lot.”

Nessel went on to reflect on how she responded to the 2019 Christchurch mosque massacre by visiting a Dearborn mosque, wearing a hijab out of respect and unequivocally condemning Islamophobia. She contrasted that response with El-Sayed’s reaction to the Temple Israel attack.
“I didn’t try to get into, like, what were the motivations of the person who killed these people, and did he have mental-health issues?” Nessel said. “Did he have bad experiences with Muslims? I just condemned it unequivocally, and I think that’s what people should have done with Temple Israel. You can’t make excuses for that kind of domestic terrorism.”
Nessel credited El-Sayed for his outreach to Jewish leaders in recent months but expressed the belief that he should publicly retract his comments in the aftermath of the attack.

“I think privately, he will say that he regrets having made those remarks,” Nessel said. “But here we are, it’s almost the end of August, and he still has not withdrawn those statements and said,I misspoke,or,I now recognize the harm that I caused by making those statements.And it has me concerned that he really stands by them.”
Nessel urged El-Sayed to acknowledge he was wrong, listen to Jewish stakeholders and publicly change course, as she said she has done when confronted with her own past ignorance. She said she has also urged him to better understand Jewish religious beliefs, pointing to his post-primary reference to “breaking bread with Jews at Passover,” when bread is intentionally not eaten during the holiday.
“But I asked, could you learn a little bit more about our religion so that you understand it?” Nessel said. “Could you learn a little bit more than maybe what your bubble is telling you about the history of Israel and its relationship to the Jewish people?”

“Because now, when I speak to him, there seems to be a real dearth of like, again, historical knowledge, political knowledge, and religious knowledge about all of those things. And again, I leave room for the fact that all of us have the opportunity to learn more.”
Nessel made it clear that she is not planning to support the state’s Republican Senate candidate, Mike Rogers, and that she would “amputate [her] right arm” before voting for him because “keeping a Republican majority in the Senate is incredibly dangerous.”
“With Abdul, I will say this: We have a lot in common in terms of our general beliefs and principles and policies,” Nessel said. “And I think it’s important to say that, and I think it’s important to underline and underscore that fact. Trust me; I have much more in common with Abdul El-Sayed than I do with Mike Rogers in terms of my personal beliefs, my political beliefs, my philosophical beliefs about what should happen in the United States, and in the United States Senate.”
Fox News Digital reached out to El-Sayed’s campaign for comment.
In March, El-Sayed released a statement in addition to his controversial video statement that Nessel took issue with, saying he was “horrified and heartbroken” to learn of the synagogue attack.
“To my Jewish sisters and brothers, you have a right to worship in peace,” El-Sayed said. “You have a right to send your kids to the synagogue in the morning and know they’ll come home safely at night. And you have a right to know that your religious identity and faith practice are respected. There is no room for antisemitism in America. So today and everyday, I am standing in solidarity with all of us who value our right to pray how we choose to pray against antisemitism and hate in all its forms.”
El-Sayed has faced broad criticism from Jewish groups, fellow Democrats and Republicans over his repeated attacks on Israel and AIPAC, as well as his public association with left-wing streamer Hasan Piker.
