Mallory McMorrow, a Democratic candidate for Senate<\/a> in Michigan, wasted no time answering whether an antisemitism problem exists in the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n

“There is,” McMorrow answered bluntly at a debate <\/a>Senate debate<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n

“At the Democratic convention,<\/a> an attendee yelled an antisemitic slur at my husband, who is Jewish and was walking with my 5-year-old daughter. That is terrifying,” McMorrow said.<\/p>\n

Amid a tight, three-way Senate primary<\/a>, McMorrow\u2019s answer definitively reveals her stance on a question that\u2019s steadily grown in recent years: whether the Democratic Party has positioned itself as more than just a critic of Israel\u2019s government and, instead, provides a forum for disdain of the Jewish people themselves.<\/p>\n

A number of progressive Democratic figures have grown increasingly skeptical \u2014 and vocal \u2014 on the U.S.-Israel relationship.<\/p>\n

Most notably, New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani,<\/a> a self-declared socialist, has questioned whether the U.S. should align itself with Israel in the wake of its war with Hamas in Gaza, citing humanitarian concerns.<\/p>\n

The criticisms aren\u2019t contained to New York.<\/p>\n

Democrats in Congress, such as Reps. Ilhan Omar,<\/a> D-Minn., Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Ro Khanna, D-Calif., and Sens. Bernie Sanders, D-Vt., and Chris Murphy, D-Conn., are among a growing portion of the party that have called for a re-evaluation of U.S. support for the Jewish state amid conflicts in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

Notably, Abdul El-Sayed, one of McMorrow\u2019s Senate primary challengers, has called Jewish Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu<\/a> a “war criminal” and said he believes the Israeli government is “evil.”<\/p>\n

McMorrow, who has positioned<\/a> herself as a middle-of-the-road candidate between critic El-Sayed and the more establishment-friendly Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., clarified that her criticisms of the party doesn’t mean she\u2019s entirely aligned with the current U.S. posture toward Israel, either.<\/p>\n

“We need to be able to state very clearly that what the Netanyahu government is doing \u2014 that the violence needs to end,” McMorrow said.<\/p>\n

When asked if she would support U.S. aid to Israel, McMorrow said she would have voted for a recent resolution proposed by Sen. Bernie Sanders,<\/a> I-Vt., that would have blocked the sale of U.S. arms.<\/p>\n

McMorrow added that she believes Democrats need to be careful to ensure their rhetoric is narrowly tailored to Israel as a state and not the Jewish people in the U.S.<\/p>\n

“We need to bring about long-term peace and security for Palestinians and Israelis. And turning that into not an anti-Netanyahu, but an anti-American Jewish message is dangerous,” McMorrow said.<\/p>\n

Her comments were met with applause.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
