What happened
Muslim leftist Michigan U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed stated in a debate that he would not support providing defensive weapons to Israel if it were attacked by Iran or another state actor.
During the debate, El-Sayed was asked if he would vote to provide defensive weaponry to Israel in the event of an attack. He responded by stating that he does not believe in using tax dollars to buy weapons for other countries, instead prioritizing spending on domestic issues such as schools and healthcare.
El-Sayed also criticized Israel's actions, suggesting that the country had pushed the US to go to war in Iran. He emphasized his commitment to supporting American interests, such as funding for schools and healthcare, rather than providing unconditional support to a foreign government.
The debate moderator summarized El-Sayed's response as a 'no' to providing defensive weapons for Israel. El-Sayed also described both Iran and Israel as 'dangerous in their own way'.
