超过400名密歇根州民主党犹太选民公开支持共和党参议院候选人迈克·罗杰斯，并警告称，左翼候选人阿卜杜勒·赛义德及其政治盟友让他们感到“受到威胁且被疏离”。
知名民主党捐赠人罗布·奥利是O2投资公司高级顾问，也是联名签署者之一。根据联邦选举委员会的竞选财务文件，他此前曾向民主党竞选活动捐赠数万美元，但如今他和其他知名犹太领袖正倒戈支持共和党候选人迈克·罗杰斯，放弃阿卜杜勒·赛义德。
“我们中的许多人曾坚定支持民主党候选人和原则，”奥利与数百名联名者在公开信中写道。
“如果阿卜杜勒·赛义德在这个关键摇摆州赢得大选，我们担心民主党内部的极左翼和反犹太元素将占据主导地位，这在即将到来的2028年总统大选中尤为明显，”信中继续写道。“我们不能让他成为民主党旗手，也不能让他成为密歇根州参议员。”
福克斯新闻数字频道已联系O2投资公司请其置评。

这封联名信的签署者包括密歇根州犹太社区多位知名人士，其中包括密歇根州最大犹太会堂以色列圣殿前主席罗伯特·戈登——该会堂今年3月曾发生反犹袭击事件。
以色列圣殿首席拉比之女谢伊娜·莱文、沙雷·泽德克会堂诵经员戴维·普罗皮斯、曾任密歇根大学理事的劳伦斯·戴奇以及慧俪轻体高管汉南·利斯也在联名信上签字，声明他们“因阿卜杜勒·赛义德所秉持的政治理念及其盟友而感到威胁和被疏离”。
但身为犹太人的前众议员安迪·莱文声称，犹太民主党人对阿卜杜勒·赛义德的反对只是少数派观点，而他的老对手美国以色列公共事务委员会（AIPAC）才是这封公开信的幕后推手。2022年，AIPAC在众议院初选中花费超过400万美元，最终导致莱文在初选中输给了密歇根州民主党众议员黑利·史蒂文斯。
“这对我来说并不意外，”莱文在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时表示。“我认识的与此事相关的人都是长期为AIPAC效力的内应和支持者。”莱文补充道，AIPAC“在犹太社区内部关于以色列和巴勒斯坦问题的立场显然属于少数派”。
莱文于2018年首次当选国会众议员，接替已故父亲桑德·莱文，他于2025年11月背书阿卜杜勒·赛义德。
“几乎每天，除了周六安息日之外，我都被海量的信息淹没——我收到来自犹太人、年轻人、中年人、老年人的消息，他们对这类活动感到无比愤怒，想尽一切办法确保阿卜杜勒·赛义德在11月3日的大选中获胜，确保这个参议院席位继续由民主党掌控，确保我们尽一切努力挽救并扩大我们的民主，”莱文继续说道。
但签署这封公开信的律师丹尼尔·切林告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，他自30多年前大学毕业以来就从未参加过AIPAC的活动。切林表示，他非常尊重相识多年的莱文，此前也曾在底特律和韦恩县与阿卜杜勒·赛义德合作过。尽管他认为赛义德是个“好人”，但切林表示，他无法忽视支持赛义德竞选的运动。
“我非常担心阿卜杜勒背后的运动，为了我所在社区的安全，在那些支持他的人所处的环境中，我感到不安全，”切林告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
民主党内战蔓延至密歇根州，进步派在这场高风险参议院对决中面临迄今最严峻考验

“他们不理解他们的言行对我、我的孩子和我的邻居造成的影响，”切林说。“正因如此，我非常担心如果他当选，会对所有试图推动他参选的人意味着什么。”
哈桑·皮克尔是Twitch平台主播，曾称东正教犹太人“近亲繁殖”，还声称美国“活该”遭遇9·11袭击，他是阿卜杜勒·赛义德竞选团队的核心 surrogates（注：此处译为“核心支持者/代言人”）。过去一周，赛义德试图与这位社交媒体网红划清界限，称关注他与皮克尔的关系是“本末倒置”。
莱文曾谴责皮克尔关于10月7日袭击事件的反犹太谎言，他同意赛义德的观点，认为对皮克尔的关注过多。随后他辩称，民主党全国委员会邀请皮克尔在2024年民主党全国代表大会期间进行直播时，几乎没有受到任何反对，这给了时任副总统、民主党总统候选人卡玛拉·哈里斯接触皮克尔粉丝群的机会。皮克尔并未背书哈里斯，原因是拜登政府在加沙战争中的政策。
“所以我不接受哈桑·皮克尔，但请照照镜子，哈里斯女士，”莱文说。“当一位名叫阿卜杜勒的人和一位名叫哈桑的人一起活动时，你们就大肆炒作、铺天盖地地报道。但当不是阿拉伯裔或穆斯林的人与他一起竞选，或者哈里斯做了同样的事时，却没有任何人问过她一个相关的问题。”
上个月，赛义德表示他“不打算”继续与皮克尔共同竞选。
罗斯林·辛德勒与莱文一同出席T’chiyah会堂，这是一个进步派改革派犹太会堂，标榜支持“黑人的命也是命”运动和跨性别权利。作为大屠杀幸存者的女儿，辛德勒在底特律都会区生活了50年，曾在韦恩州立大学教授大屠杀研究。她告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，她早在赛义德赢得初选之前就支持他，并认为民主党需要“重大变革”，她援引赛义德支持《全民医保法案》和消除政治献金等进步政策为例。
“我当然不是像许多不支持阿卜杜勒的犹太人所想的那样是反犹太复国主义者，但我是一名坚定的犹太人，”辛德勒告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“我是一名坚定的民主党人。我相信民主党应该是一个‘大帐篷’，容纳该党的所有成员，无论他们的观点如何。”
福克斯新闻数字频道询问了辛德勒对赛义德与皮克尔关系的看法，以及在民主党党内是否存在容纳遵循皮克尔意识形态之人的空间。
赛义德试图与犹太民主党人和解，但拒绝与哈桑·皮克尔切割
“作为一名犹太人，我当然不希望任何人反犹太，也不希望任何人反穆斯林、反LGBTQ群体，诸如此类，”辛德勒说。“这现实吗？可能并不现实。但我是否希望这些人成为民主党的一员？这不是我能决定的。事情就是这样，他们要么加入，要么不加入。”
“但我确实相信，整个犹太社区有足够的力量来对抗反犹太主义，这是全方位的，”辛德勒继续说道。

但切林表示，他的家人必须经过守护犹太会堂的安保人员才能进入，这一事实足以证明，犹太社区整体无法独自应对反犹太主义。
“对我来说，这与AIPAC无关，”切林说。“这关乎我们如何保护密歇根州乃至全美犹太社区的神圣性，以及其他所有正在进行的竞选活动。”
“通常自认为是民主党人的犹太社区成员，对投票给民主党参议院候选人感到不安，正在寻找途径发泄他们的挫败感。这不应该被忽视，”切林继续说道。
切林呼吁罗杰斯和赛义德都应超越政治范畴，与犹太社区成员接触，以“真正了解”犹太选民的想法。
“阿卜杜勒感谢与密歇根州各地犹太领袖进行的富有成效的对话，他将继续积极参与社区活动，建立联盟，击败罗杰斯，恢复民主党对美国参议院的掌控，并为遏制特朗普的鲁莽议程提供亟需的制衡，”赛义德竞选团队的一名发言人在给福克斯新闻数字频道的声明中表示。

曾在国会任职15年的罗杰斯表示，他感谢犹太社区日益增长的支持——尤其是那些跨越党派界限支持他竞选参议院席位的人。
“随着反犹太主义抬头，犹太家庭为自身安全担忧，我们需要能够直面仇恨而非煽动仇恨的领导人，这一点至关重要，”罗杰斯在一份声明中表示。“这正是我和我的对手最根本的分歧所在。”
“阿卜杜勒·赛义德煽动反犹太主义的火焰，而我们正在努力将其扑灭，”罗杰斯继续说道。
但对于莱文和辛德勒这样的进步派犹太民主党人来说，唐纳德·特朗普总统及其盟友、共和党人罗杰斯才是对民主的最大威胁。
“我们有机会保护我们的民主，通过保住这个参议院席位并扩大我们的民主，通过首次选举一位穆斯林进入美国参议院，”莱文说。“我认识的大多数犹太人都相信这个民主实验，这个名为美国的民主项目。”

“早该如此，穆斯林能够选出一位参议员，而密歇根州就有一位优秀的候选人，我们可以选举他成为第一位穆斯林参议员。他会像犹太人一样行事吗？不会，但他会成为一个我们可以沟通的人，并且会成为密歇根州全体民众，尤其是阿拉伯裔和穆斯林社区的优秀代表，”莱文说。

Dem megadonor among 400 Jewish Michiganders labeled AIPAC insiders for denouncing El-Sayed’s leftist campaign

More than 400 Democratic Jewish Michiganders are backing Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers and warning that they feel “threatened and alienated” by leftist candidate Abdul El-Sayed and his political allies.
Prominent Democratic donor Rob Orley, a senior advisor for O2 Investments, is among the signatories. He previously donated tens of thousands of dollars to Democratic campaigns, according to FEC campaign filings — but now he and other prominent Jewish leaders are ditching El-Sayed for Republican candidate Mike Rogers.
“Many of us have been fiercely supportive of Democratic candidates and principles,” a letter signed by Orley and hundreds of others stated.
“If El-Sayed were to win the general election in this important swing state, we fear the far-left and anti-Jewish elements in the Democratic Party would become dominant, including in the imminent 2028 presidential race,” the letter continues. “We cannot allow him to become the Democratic standard-bearer or Michigan’s senator.”
Fox News Digital reached out to O2 Investments for comment.
MICHIGAN SENATE HOPEFUL CALLS AIPAC DONATIONS ‘LEGALIZED BRIBERY,’ REMAINS SILENT ON OTHER DONATIONS

The letter includes signatures from some of the most prominent members of Michigan’s Jewish community, including Robert Gordon, the former president of Temple Israel, the state’s largest Jewish congregation, which was the site of an antisemitic attack in March.
Shayna Levine, the daughter of the leading rabbi at Temple Israel; David Propis, cantor of Congregation Shaarey Zedek; Laurence Deitch, who served as a University of Michigan regent; and Hannan Lis, a Weight Watchers executive, have also signed the letter declaring that they feel “threatened and alienated by the politics and allies embraced by Abdul El-Sayed.”
But former Rep. Andy Levin, who is Jewish, is claiming that opposition to El-Sayed among Jewish Democrats is a minority view and that his old foe, the American Israel Political Action Committee, is really driving the letter. Levin lost his 2022 primary bid to Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., after AIPAC spent more than $4 million in the primary race against him.
“It’s not a surprise to me,” Levin said in an interview with Fox News Digital. “The people I know associated with it are all long-time AIPAC insiders and supporters.” Levin added that AIPAC “represents a distinctly minority position about Israel and Palestine within the Jewish community.”
Levin, who was first elected to Congress in 2018 to replace his late father Sander Levin, gave his endorsement to El-Sayed in November 2025.
“I am overwhelmed like literally every day except Shabbat — our sabbath on Saturday — with the incoming I get from Jewish people, young people, middle-aged people, older people, who are so mad about an effort like this and who want to do everything they can to make sure Abdul El-Sayed wins the election on November 3rd, that this U.S. Senate seat stays democratic, and that we do everything we can to save and expand our democracy,” Levin continued.
However, attorney Daniel Cherrin, who signed the letter, told Fox News Digital that he has not attended an AIPAC event since college more than 30 years ago. Cherrin said he has tremendous respect for Levin, whom he has known for years, and previously worked with Abdul El-Sayed in Detroit and Wayne County. Although he considers El-Sayed a “good” person, Cherrin said he cannot overlook the movement backing his candidacy.
“I am very concerned about the movement that is behind Abdul, and for the safety of my community, I don’t feel safe in that environment with the people that are standing in support of him,” Cherrin told Fox News Digital.
DEMOCRATS’ CIVIL WAR HEADS TO MICHIGAN WHERE PROGRESSIVES FACE BIGGEST TEST YET IN HIGH-STAKES SENATE SHOWDOWN

“They don’t understand the impact that their words and their actions is having on me and my children and my neighbors,” Cherrin said. “And so, for that, I am very worried about should he be elected what that means for all those that are trying to advance his candidacy.”
Hasan Piker, a Twitch streamer who has called Orthodox Jews inbreds and said America deserved 9/11, has been a top surrogate for El-Sayed’s campaign. Over the past week, El-Sayed has attempted to distance himself from the social media influencer, suggesting that people focusing on his affiliation with Piker are “missing the boat.”
Levin, who has condemned Piker’s antisemitic falsehoods about the Oct. 7 attack, agreed with El-Sayed that too much focus is on Piker. He then argued that the Democratic National Committee received very little pushback for inviting Piker to stream during the 2024 Democratic National Convention, giving then-Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris an opportunity to reach Piker’s audience. Piker did not endorse Harris because of the Biden administration’s policy in the Gaza war.
“So I’m not accepting Hasan Piker, but look in the mirror, sister,” Levin said. “When it’s a guy named Abdul with a guy named Hasan, you’re blowing up about it and covering it massively. When it was not an Arab American or a Muslim who campaigned with him or did whatever Kamala Harris did, literally no one asked her a single question about it.”
Last month, El-Sayed said he had “no plans” to continue campaigning with Piker.
Roslyn Schindler attends Congregation T’chiyah, which is a progressive Reform synagogue that touts its support for Black Lives Matter, and transgender rights, with Levin. A daughter of Holocaust survivors, Schindler has lived in the metro Detroit area for 50 years and taught Holocaust studies at Wayne State University. She shared with Fox News Digital that she has supported El-Sayed well before his primary victory, and that the Democratic Party is in need of a “major shake-up,” citing El-Sayed’s support for progressive policies like Medicare for All and getting money out of politics.
“I am certainly not an anti-Zionist, as many Jews who don’t support Abdul think we are, but I am a committed Jew,” Schindler told Fox News Digital. “I’m a committed Democrat. I believe that the Democratic Party should be a large tent, so to speak, that includes all members of that party, no matter what their perspective.”
Fox News Digital asked Schindler for her thoughts on El-Sayed’s affiliation with Piker and whether there is a place in the Democratic Party for people who follow his ideology.

“As a Jew, I certainly don’t want anyone to be anti-Semitic. I don’t want anyone to be anti-Muslim. I don’t want anyone to be anti-LGBTQ, and the list goes on,” Schindler said. “Is that realistic? Probably not. Do I want those people to be part of the Democratic Party? It’s not really for me to want. It is what it is. They’ll either be part of it or they won’t.”
“But I do believe there is enough traction within the Jewish community at large to counter anti-Semitism, and that’s across the board,” Schindler continued.

But Cherrin said the fact that his family has to pass security officers guarding synagogues and temples is evidence to him that the Jewish community at large can’t tackle antisemitism by itself.
“It’s not about AIPAC for me,” Cherrin said. “It is about it is about how are we protecting the sanctity of the Jewish community in Michigan and frankly and across the country with all these other races that are out there.”
“People within the Jewish community, who typically identify as Democrats, don’t feel comfortable voting for the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate and are looking for a place to channel their frustration. That should not be discounted,” Cherrin continued.
Cherrin pushed for both Rogers and El-Sayed to continue to reach out to Jewish community members outside of politics to get a “real pulse” on what Jewish voters are thinking.
“Abdul is grateful for the good conversations he’s had with Jewish leaders across Michigan, and he’ll continue to be actively engaged with communities to build the coalition that will defeat Rogers, restore Democratic control of the U.S. Senate, and put a much-needed check on Trump’s reckless agenda,” a spokesperson for El-Sayed’s campaign said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

Rogers, who previously served in Congress for 15 years, said he appreciates the growing support from the Jewish community — especially those crossing party lines to back his bid for U.S. Senate.
“As antisemitism rises and Jewish families worry for their safety, it’s critical that we have leaders who will confront hatred — not inflame it,” Rogers said in a statement. “That’s where my opponent and I couldn’t be more different.”
“Abdul El-Sayed fans the flames of antisemitism. We’re fighting to extinguish it,” Rogers continued.
Although for progressive Jewish Democrats like Levin and Schindler, President Donald Trump and his MAGA allies like Rogers are the biggest threat to democracy.
“We have a chance to protect our Democracy by keeping this U.S. Senate seat democratic and expanding our democracy, by, for the first time, having, uh, electing a Muslim to the U.S. Senate,” Levin said. “Most Jews that I know so believe in this democratic experiment, this Democratic project called America.”

“And it’s about damn time that Muslims had a senator and there’s a brilliant person running here in Michigan who we can elect to be the first one. Will he do exactly what a Jewish person would do or something? No, but he will be someone we could talk to and who will be a great representative for all of Michigan and for the Arab American and Muslim communities in particular,” Levin said.
