Democratic Politicians to Attend Anti-Israel Conference in ‘Jihad Capital’

A group of rising Democratic politicians is set to attend an anti-Israel conference in Dearborn, Michigan, known as 'America's Jihad Capital.' The event, hosted by the American-Arab Discrimination Committee (ADC), features several speakers with pro-Hamas views.

The attendees include Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, California Representative Ro Khanna, and Michigan Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist. These individuals are either running or expected to run for significant political offices, including the Michigan Senate, the U.S. presidency in 2028, and the Michigan governorship.

El-Sayed will participate in a 'Meet the Candidate' session, while Gilchrist will headline the ADC's gala dinner. Khanna will join a discussion on Israel's actions in Gaza. The conference also features speakers known for anti-Semitic rhetoric and support for anti-Israel groups.

Among the speakers are individuals who have praised Hamas and criticized Israeli policies. The conference provides a platform for Democratic politicians to engage with Michigan's Muslim and Arab voters, a demographic that heavily favors Democrats.

This event highlights the ongoing political discourse surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, offering a stage for various perspectives and sparking debate on the complex issues involved.
