"Two years ago this month, Netanyahu's military launched a ground invasion of Gaza. Since then, the world has watched tragedy unfold in real time. At least 60,000 Palestinians have been killed, including over 18,500 children. Nearly every home in Gaza has either been destroyed or damaged. It is unconscionable. It is wrong. Yet it has continued because politicians in both parties have chosen to send billions of our tax dollars to fund this senseless war instead of demanding an immediate ceasefire."
"El-Sayed, 40, was born and raised in the Detroit area to Egyptian immigrant parents who were both engineers, and is a former public health professor and former director of the Department of Health, Human, and Veterans Services for Wayne County, Michigan. El-Sayed earned his medical degree from Columbia University but did not complete a residency, choosing to pursue a career in public service instead, and is therefore not a licensed physician."
Abdul El-Sayed, a 40-year-old Michigan Democrat and former public health professor, sent a fundraising email marking the two-year anniversary of Oct. 7. The email described a ground invasion of Gaza and cited at least 60,000 Palestinian deaths, including over 18,500 children, widespread home destruction, and called for an immediate ceasefire while blaming U.S. politicians and political influence. The message attributed continued violence to funding decisions and invoked AIPAC. The fundraising email drew condemnation for not mentioning Israelis killed on Oct. 7. El-Sayed holds a Columbia medical degree without a residency and previously ran in the 2018 Democratic gubernatorial primary.
