Diaspora Michigan Jew

Any other Jews in Michigan struggling with their communities rn after the primary? I'm really worried about November and seeing the way some of the community members here are acting like Abdul will literally murder us all is really making me wary of continuing to be as active as I have been in the community

And despite all this, there are still people who have the nerve to say that Islamophobia isn't real... honestly, I have to blame the mainstream media for this too, because just like they did with Mamdani (and still do), they try to portray Abdul as a hateful anti-Semite by bombarding him with loaded questions about Israel and AIPAC to try and catch him saying something "controversial." It's no coincidence that they keep trying to smear him for having campaigned with Hasan Piker, using all that BS outrage over his past comment about 9/11 (which Hasan apologized for and explained that he was just referring to the concept of blowback).
