Bro thinks he's on the team lol

DSA devastated yet again

If you ask me, he is a Zionist. Why? Because he is a Jewish exceptionalist. His behaviour indicates that he sees Jews not as equals but as a special people, as more than others, as superior you may even say.

He is not even a socialist too. So why is anyone who calls themselves a leftist supporting this muppet again? Electing less shitty liberals are the key to socialism?

The thing is, he did make a statement the day the zionists "Blacks Rule"-d their synagogue. It was pretty pathetic: "shocked and horrified, hate has no home" etc. And now he has to grovel to zionists even more because they thought he didn't do it enough the first time.

Here's what I can find on context: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/i-made-a-mistake-abdul-el-sayed-apologizes-to-michigan-jews-for-past-comments-about-synagogue-attack/ar-AA2bcJlT

The Democratic nominee told the room that his remarks following the attempted targeting of the West Bloomfield synagogue preschool, in which he had said, in part, “Hurt people hurt people,” were intended to provide “context.”

Reflecting on them, he said on Saturday, “I made a mistake.”

“If my statement caused pain, I’m sorry. It was not what I intended to do,” El-Sayed continued. Referencing the first of two statements he had made about the attack, he added, “We issued a statement, of course, condemning it, and that just should have been it, full stop.”

El-Sayed’s initial Temple Israel comments, which many Jews interpreted as justifying the attack, have alienated Jewish voters in the state. After an initial statement condemning the attack, El-Sayed then followed up with one referencing Israel’s war in Lebanon, where the attacker had lost family in an Israel airstrike.

On Saturday, El-Sayed, a former county health director, insisted that his push for “context” to the attack was broadly appropriate, but not at that moment, explaining that such “conversations” could happen “in the fullness of time.”

“Sometimes you can’t really see context in the moment of acuity or pain,” he said. “The intention for me was not to trample that pain. It was not to discount it. It was not at all to justify any sort of domestic terrorism. That’s wrong, full stop.”

So it's a bit of an oversimplification to say he's apologizing for an anti-israel stance (to be honest, it sounds like what he originally said barely qualifies as anti-israel in the first place - more just "hey, this is how consequences of actions work"). But nevertheless, it is for sure wishy washy "I was technically right to say what I did but I shouldn't have said it" stuff typical of electoralism con artistry, so I still wouldn't trust him. Not that we should be in the habit of trusting bourgeoisie electoralism candidates in the first place.

idk, that doesn't seem as a apology to israel...

I feel like there could be context missing here

That is backstabbing beyond the SPD, it's on the level of the german greens.
