More than 400 Democratic Jewish Michiganders are backing Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers and warning that they feel "threatened and alienated" by leftist candidate Abdul El-Sayed and his political allies.
Prominent Democratic donor Rob Orley, a senior advisor for O2 Investments, is among the signatories. He previously donated tens of thousands of dollars to Democratic campaigns, according to FEC campaign filings — but now he and other prominent Jewish leaders are ditching El-Sayed for Republican candidate Mike Rogers.
"Many of us have been fiercely supportive of Democratic candidates and principles," a letter signed by Orley and hundreds of others stated.
"If El-Sayed were to win the general election in this important swing state, we fear the far-left and anti-Jewish elements in the Democratic Party would become dominant, including in the imminent 2028 presidential race," the letter continues. "We cannot allow him to become the Democratic standard-bearer or Michigan’s senator."
Fox News Digital reached out to O2 Investments for comment.
The letter includes signatures from some of the most prominent members of Michigan's Jewish community, including Robert Gordon, the former president of Temple Israel, the state's largest Jewish congregation, which was the site of an antisemitic attack in March.

Sayed is a typical antisemitic muslim. He was brainwashed beginning when he was four years of age.
They remain as stiff-necked as ever.
How are those Death to America yard signs working Abdul?
Fox has some of the worst polls anywhere. Bunch of Bushies.
Solzhenitsyn is a good quote.
A Jewish-atheist communist who got multiple portions of collectivism crammed down his throat.
I’m just an outside observer and not Jewish, I simply can’t figure out why Jews consistently vote for their destruction.
Dem/Nazi/Commies will get 80% of the Jewish vote. Automatic.
History repeats. The urban Russian elites in St.Petersburg and Moscow enthusiatically supported the Bolsheviks and their revolution. After the Bolsheviks came to power the elites were impoverished, imprisoned, exiled or killed. Suspect many of our “elites” crave to suffer a similiar fate.
Nope. They’ll vote for him come Election Day….
I just got back from Michigan. Stayed ads were running at least 6-1 vs Rogers.
...what a stupid ass and infuriating statement! “Principles”?! These idiots need to list off these so called principles.
The Democrats were supposed to support principles that were harmful to white Christians, but not harmful to Israel or Jews.
Once they're given a chance to vote for a Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, or Josh Shapiro (who are all pro-Israel), they'll return to the Democrats.
And yet, a majority of Jews will still vote for this turkey in November. Bank on it. The self-loathing among Jews is bizarre.
Oops...El-Sayed
The fact that *most* jews still support democrats, just goes to show you that as long as they *personally* can benefit, they don’t mind pushing other jews into the ovens...just ask George Soros.
This is progress.
Yeah. I’ve never been able to understand it.

Are you saying Solzhenitsyn was Jewish?
He wasn't. Solzhenitzyn was a vocal support of the Russian Orthodox Church.
He was also accused of anti-Semitism (because who isn't?) for his final book, 200 Years Together. For that reason, it's his only book that remains unpublished in the U.S.
It was a best seller in Europe. Unofficial and incomplete English translations have long been available on the internet.
Announcements of upcoming English publications have been periodically announced. Now they say it's set for late 2028.
There was a Jewish party in Germany that supported Hitler. Really. The Democratic Party is under attack by people who don’t like Jewish people. Will Jewish Democrats wake up before it is too late?
>>Will Jewish Democrats wake up before it is too late?
No.
I expect he’s getting money from mideast sources.
Yes, that's my understanding. I stand ready to be informed and corrected. I thought his family was Jewish, then he was in the Russian Orthodox church, and then became an atheist.
I sincerely ask you educate and inform me. Was he Christian all along? That would explain his writings.
Good
Some Jews smelling the coffee
We need everyone to beat the crazies
Even socially lib urban Jews
Yep I said it
It’s a fight for our way of life since Mesopotamia Greece Rome and so on thru the zenith of my Anglo Saxon Norman ancestry to the miraculous wisdom of America’s founding patriarchs
Western civilization is de facto the worlds civilization where it exists
