Abdul El-Sayed drew a clear distinction between Israel, AIPAC, and the Jewish people during a recent speech.
“AIPAC and Israel are not the same as Judaism and the Jewish people. I love Judaism and I love the Jewish people. The most dangerous thing is expanding antisemitism to include criticism of Israel.”
His remarks quickly gained attention online, with supporters arguing that criticizing a government’s policies should not automatically be equated with hatred toward an entire religion or ethnic group.
Do you agree with his statement?
