Abdul El-Sayed’s Antisemitic Ad Controversy Didn’t Come Out of Nowhere. Oct 27, 2026. By Anna Rahmanan.

Let's set aside the fact that an advertisement supporting Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed appears to reach into one of the ugliest reservoirs of antisemitic insinuation: the suggestion that Jews, or in this case the Jewish state, are somehow responsible for the economic misfortunes of ordinary Americans. Set aside, too, the difference between criticizing American aid to Israel and blaming the Jewish state for the price of eggs in Michigan, an insinuation that echoes centuries-old antisemitic accusations that Jews are responsible for other people's economic suffering.

Antisemitic Rhetoric From Democrats is Tired, Old, and Dishonest. Michael Dorstewitz. Tue, October 27, 2026. Newsmax.

As the race for a Michigan U.S. Senate seat draws nearer, and voters learn more about Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed's family terror ties, Democrats are firing back with a millennia-old claim that's as dishonest as it is old.

It's all the Jews' fault. Of course.

Over the weekend political activist, commentator, and El-Sayed supporter Cenk Uygur released a video ad for the Democratic candidate that depicted a young couple at a super market buying groceries.

As the husband starts to place a carton of eggs into the cart, his wife tells him to put them back. She adds that although their kids still enjoy eggs, they can't afford them anymore, because of America's support for Israel.

She even claimed that giving the store $7 will be used by Israel so they can continue killing Palestinians.

She then realizes that they can't afford bananas anymore as well, and puts them back — all because the United States supports its most loyal ally.

Uygur posted the ad on sacral media and added this commentary to make sure the viewer got the message.

"New @RebellionPac ad dropping in Michigan," he wrote.

"We have to suffer here at home, so Israel can get all its wars. That's why they buy politicians like Mike Rogers. He promised to serve Israel 'unconditionally,' but never made that promise to you."

Oh, we got the point of the ad just fine, we just think it's dumb. The United States spends trillions upon trillions on fraud, waste and abuse, but we should be concerned if we send $20 billion to Israel, which amounts to 1/50th of one trillion.

Not only is Israel our only true ally in the Mideast, but it's arguably our last remaining ally, and they're taking the brunt of our war with Iran.

And because of that, the whole thing backfired.

Adam Milstein, an Israeli-American real estate investor and philanthropist, treated the whole thing as a joke.

"This is one of the most comical ads this election cycle. Yes, Americans are chatting at the grocery store about how they can't buy groceries because their tax dollars 'go to Israel' nevermind the fact that Israel has invested 100% of military aid in the U.S. economy since Oct 7, and has also purchased over $1 billion 'additional' in arms, according to DoD," he began.

"Federal military aid is also prohibited from being spent on anything other than U.S. arms, so the line about healthcare is even more comical. El Sayed and his Islamist fans like Cenk Uygur want and expect American voters to be so stupid they never check."

Milstein concluded, "Not only is this ad insane, conspiratorial, and antisemitic — it is also flat out false. El Sayed isn't for the people of Michigan, he isn't even for America. He is for the Muslim Brotherhood."

The ad was so bad that Rep. Haley Stevens, a fellow Michigan Democrat who faced off against El-Sayed in the primary, also denounced it.

"This type of fearmongering about Israel is wrong. It is not a winning strategy for any state. It does nothing to help Michigan Democrats win up and down the ballot in eight days," she wrote Tuesday, using her personal account.

"Do we need to lower costs by building more homes, securing people's healthcare, and creating a fairer federal tax code? Yes, we do!!

"How we do so is not by blaming the high costs of our goods on the only Jewish homeland in the world. I want to see Democrats succeed at every level, and that means keeping our focus on lowering costs for Michigan families and reining in this out-of-control President," Stevens concluded.

Antisemitism has always been ugly throughout history.

It was ugly 3,500 years ago when the pharaohs enslaved the Israelites, God's "Chosen People," before Moses led them on their 40-year journey to the "Promised Land."

It was ugly in Elizabethan England, when a poet and playwright named William Shakespeare imagined an evil caricature of a Jewish moneylender named Shylock.

And it was especially ugly throughout the Second World War, when Germany's Third Reich set into motion the Holocaust, the systematic mass murder of an estimated 8 million European Jews, referred to by the Nazis as the "Final Solution to the Jewish Question."

In the United States, "the land of the free and the home of the brave," we should be above all that. But if we continue electing people like Zohran Mamdani, Ilhan Omar, and Abdul El-Sayed, it's still with us.

Vote wisely, Michigan. Newsmax

David Frum: Yes, We Have No Bananas But please don’t blame the Jews. Oct 27, 2026. Do supporters of Israel have to deny the false accusation? Okay, here goes. U.S. military aid to Israel is set at $3.8 billion a year from 2019 to 2028—about one-20th of 1 percent of the total federal budget. In 2024, Congress approved a $95 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and other allies—of which, nearly two-thirds went to Ukraine, about $15 billion went to Israel, and about $9 billion was directed to humanitarian relief, including assistance for Gazan civilians displaced by the war that Hamas started. (The rest went to Taiwan and other allies in the Indo-Pacific region.)

Almost all U.S. assistance to Israel takes the form of credits that Israel can use only to buy American-made equipment. This assistance provides at least two direct and immediate benefits to Americans. First, it buys the United States access to Israeli military technology. By partly underwriting the development of Israel’s Iron Dome missile-defense system, the U.S. has gained the use of battle-tested systems that also protect American lives. Second, this assistance lowers the per-unit cost of U.S. systems. The United States buys up to 48 F-35 fighters a year. Israel has bought 75 and is considering an estimated 25 more. Foreign orders allow U.S. arms manufacturers to improve their economies of scale. At a time when other NATO allies are canceling their orders of American equipment because they no longer fully trust the U.S. as an ally or supplier, Israeli orders enhance the efficiency of American defense production.

Meanwhile, all U.S. aid to Israel amounts to a fraction of what Israel’s critics wish to spend domestically. Despite the implications of that El-Sayed ad: Americans spend $1.1 trillion a year on groceries. Canceling aid to Israel would deliver the equivalent of about 30 hours of that spending. Per Mamdani’s complaint that Israel is to blame for bad housing in New York City: The city’s housing authority estimates its backlog of deferred maintenance at almost $80 billion, or about 20 years’ worth of U.S. assistance to Israel at present levels. Expanding Medicare to cover all American citizens would cost perhaps more than $32 trillion in additional federal spending over the first decade. Covering even one month of this plan would take 70 years’ worth of aid to Israel.

By blaming the Jewish state for the price of bananas in Michigan, the super-PAC ad calls to mind political tricks older and more disturbing than the one attributed to Johnson. In 1899, Karl Lueger, the mayor of Vienna and one of the most notorious anti-Semites of the 19th century, gave a speech blaming the Habsburg empire’s economic troubles on its Jews. “Here in our Austrian fatherland the situation is such that the Jews have seized a degree of influence which exceeds their number and importance,” he argued. “And in this respect the Jews operate a terrorism of a kind that could hardly be worse. For us, in Austria, it is a matter of liberating Christian people from the hegemony of Jewry.”

As with the rising cost of living in the U.S., the problem Lueger was concerned with was real. His voter base of artisans and craftspeople was coming under immense pressure from factory competition. There was not much Lueger could do about his voters’ distress. But he could point them toward a politically useful target. Now, with a modest update of Lueger’s language, an outside PAC’s closing argument in one of the most watched Senate races of 2026 blames a familiar “they/them.” TheAtlantic

Gutfeld! : FOXNEWSW : October 27, 2026 7:00pm-8:00pm PDT : Free Borrow & Streaming : Internet Archive. [...] GREG: An ad Hitler would love...

-- You're watching the chosen source for news. this is headline Jews [laughter] [cheers and applause] -- Greg: Michigan democrat spread the news. Food is expensive. Back in 2024 a pro-democrat ad went viral for claiming U.S. aid to Israel is used to (supposedly) kill (sic) palestinians and the reason for high grocery prices. Now a version of that ad is airing on TV in support of Abdul el-Sayed in the Michigan Senate race. Roll it. [...] [boos] -- Greg: it's so real. I don't know about you, but this happens to me all the time. I'll be agonizing over buying a box of captain crunch and decide I can't afford it because of foreign aid but only to the Jews. Funded by "rebellion pac" least wing group founded by Young Turks host, a guy (Cenk Uygur) so full of [bleep] it's coming out of his face. What a mind blowingly original idea, blame it on the Jews. But no. Eggs are not going up because we support Israel. Of the total Federal budget one 20th of one percent goes to that country. Of course, virtually all the aid is military, and, no, it's not to kill palestinians. Financing ends up buying Israel rather than showing Israel specifically. -- Guest: I don't think I would have done the egg thing because the governmentdoesn't buy anyone eggs. -- Greg: yes. -- Kat: so I don't understand, like, funding going overseas would be going to buy you eggs -- I don't really get how a leads to be. I think it's fair to say it was blaming Jews for high grocery prices. It was blaming aid to Israel but the issue is blaming only Israel rather than the many other countries to which we also give aid.

-- Greg: yes. this is a key point, Tyrus, because government doesn't buy the eggs, but DSA -- they don't understand that they think the government makes, makes, you know, healthcare. -- Tyrus: yes. -- Greg: the government makes the thing..

Jim:...so. we'll find out in the "post." it's stupid because you could just as easily go, we have to put the eggs back. Why? because we're giving money to Haiti or Africa or we're giving money to this country. If you want to tie it in, you just don't blame Israel. it's any foreign policy. [applause] .

-- Greg: that is an argument to make, if they had said that. exactly and the thing is you could argue that that's what trump did with doge. How many billions of dollars did we save with doge, with foreign aid, with NGO's and all these weird groups where the money was going abroad. The Somalian fraud. So what do you say? It's a 2-year-old ad. They revamped with it new figures.

-- Kat: I.always hate to say this but I agree with Jim. I'm america first. But if I were making an America first ad to communicate that I think I would have mentioned other countries besides only Israel rather than showing israel specifically. i don't think i would have done the egg thing because the government, the government doesn't buy anyone eggs. -- Greg: yes. -- Kat: so I don't understand, like, funding going overseas would be going to buy you eggs -- I don't really get how a leads to b. i think it's fair to say it was blaming jews for high grocery prices. it was blaming aid to israel but the issue is blaming only israel rather than the many other kriz to which we also give aid. \>\> greg: yes. this is a key point, tyrus, because government doesn't buy the eggs, but dsa -- they don't understand that they think the government makes, makes, you know, healthcare...

-- Greg: true [laughter] can you imagine if Republicans made an ad like this? and blamed the prices on the Jews.

-- Kat: no, I mean, the thing about this senate race in Michigan is that the big arguments against Abdul Rahim el-Sayed are twofold. One, that he's socialist, and two, that his family has extremely close ties to a foreign terror group. The idea that you would bring up who has got allegiance to a foreign country when you're doing this on behalf of Abdul el-Sayed, whose mom was in the Muslim Brotherhood, whose sister bragged about their mom being in the Muslim Brotherhood, who can't actually articulate a reason why he doesn't like the Muslim Brotherhood, like, it's just -- the kind of political wisdom that weger has become known for.

-- Greg: it's so true. you shouldn't be throwing stones in glass mosques. Tyrus: or eggs in this case.. Internet archive

Re Islamic Bigot Cenk Uygur Antisemitic For El Sayed Ad. And Pretending Israel Isn't Fighting For Its Survival From Arab-islamic Forces. Blaming The Jews For Grocerirs Smells Very Nazi Like. Nor Does Foreign Aid To Any Country Have Any Connections To Grocery Prices. But Since He Picked Foreign Aid Only To Israel - A Convenient Mask For His Hatred, Here Are Some Fact:

Arab countries get 7.5-7.6 billion:

- U.S. Foreign Aid to the Middle East & North Africa (MENA): The U.S. provides roughly $7.5 billion to $7.6 billion annually in assistance to the broader MENA region, though broader totals (including military and economic support across 18 countries) are cited around $21 billion per year by reports analyzing total regional flows. - Major Recipients: A significant portion of U.S. and Western bilateral aid in the Arab world goes to countries like Jordan (top recipient for civil society/humanitarian aid) and Syria (top recipient for humanitarian aid, roughly $1 billion), alongside large regional security allocations to Egypt. _

Israel gets approximately $3.8 billion. (Annual U.S. aid to Israel represents less than 0.00001% of total U.S. federal spending).

Advantages: 1. Advancing U.S. National Security Interests. 2. Reciprocal Strategic and Intelligence Benefits. 3. Economic Benefits to the U.S. Defense Sector. 4. Shared Values and Moral Commitments. _

Aid to Ukraine:

The U.S. government has allocated or appropriated approximately $175 billion to $183 billion in total Ukraine-related funding since the war began in February 2022. at EoZ
