Michigan vs Pennsylvania
In Michigan, Governor-elect Jocelyn Benson appointed openly anti-Semitic Nation of Islam "student minister" and Benton Harbor Mayor, Marcus Muhammad, to serve on her transition team. Eli Savit, the new AG was proud to be endorsed by same. Senator-elect El-Sayed has turned from focusing on affordability to focusing on Jews. People hear him saying “criticizing Israel is not criticizing Jews,” and that’s true. He’s also saying Jew’s attachment to Israel has nothing to do with Judaism and that simply isn’t true. It's like asking Muslims to give up Mecca. (H/t )
The Philadelphia chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (Philly DSA) is listed as a collaborator and co-brander for a planned antisemitic bike protest on the anniversary of Kristellnacht . The bike ride/boycott demanding stores be closed down because the owners are Jewish because of opposition to Israel's existence is being fiercely condemned by a broad spectrum of politicians (Mayor Parker, Senators Fetterman and McCormick, Governor Shapiro, Councilmember Johnson) and the community has come together to support these businesses.
