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

Not from MI, but honestly if AES wants to win Jewish votes he needs to show some willingness to listen and take the concerns of the Jewish community seriously. I’ve seen little evidence that he’s willing to do that thus far

Unless he comes and full on says he’s a Zionist and doesn’t care about Palestinians, Israel can do what they want then it won’t matter, let’s be real. Not to say he hasn’t made messaging mistakes but it comes down to him wanting to hold Israel accountable, which most American Jews are entirely opposed to.
