As a result, he chose to &ldquo;clarify and contextualize what I said&rdquo; in his statement to the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>He explained, &ldquo;The bottom line is that no Jew wants to support people who hate us.

This came as a surprise to members of the &ldquo;Zionists for Don Samuels Against Ilhan Omar&rdquo; WhatsApp group chat.<\/p>\n<p>On July 24, one member asked, &ldquo;Is AIPAC helping Don Samuels?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>An activist answered, &ldquo;Not right now which is why this grassroots effort is very important. Thanks to everyone for your support!&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Through a campaign staffer, Samuels addressed the group on the matter. He assured that AIPAC was &ldquo;absolutely aware of this race, [and] they have engaged with us on a regular basis.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>On July 25, one member speculated that AIPAC may have been hesitant due to &ldquo;this myth that Ilhan is unbeatable,&rdquo; as well as &ldquo;the real possibility that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/oregon-dems-use-recycling-bill-to-codify-equity-definition\/\" title=\"Oregon Dems Use Recycling Bill To Codify \u2018Equity\u2019 Definition\">public involvement<\/a> by AIPAC would backfire.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>She explained that there is &ldquo;a lot of latent antisemitism&rdquo; in Minneapolis, which she noted was once known as the most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mprnews.org\/story\/2017\/10\/18\/anti-semitism-in-minneapolis-history\">antisemitic<\/a> city in the United States. &lsquo;&ldquo;AIPAC&rsquo; is a dog whistle, a stand-in for &lsquo;Jews and their $$ control of the world.&rsquo; Ilhan knows this and weaponizes it.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>With AIPAC focused on other races, Sinensky and company stepped up to help defeat Omar, who Samuels has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/congressional\/3118837\/ilhan-omar-primary-challenge-turns-ugly-squad-democrat-seeks-fourth-term\/\">referred<\/a> to as a &ldquo;pawn for Hamas&rdquo; due to her anti-Israel statements and positions.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Don only lost by less than 2,500 votes or 2% in 2022,&rdquo; Sinensky told the group on July 28. &ldquo;We do not need millions from AIPAC. We can win this with $100k in donations from all of us.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>He continued, &ldquo;We cannot stand by while the leader of the squad &mdash; the most hateful one &mdash; is vulnerable without a last ditch effort to fire her from American politics.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>On Aug. 8, Sinensky responded to another member inquiring if AIPAC will be supporting Samuels, &ldquo;They are not, they don&rsquo;t think their $ can help defeat her. They think it will hurt the grass roots effort that is more strong in this district as proven by the last race.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>He added, &ldquo;We have collectively raised more than what AIPAC put in last race.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>AIPAC <a href=\"https:\/\/jewishinsider.com\/2022\/09\/don-samuels-ilhan-omar-united-democracy-project-filing\/\">contributed<\/a> $350,000 to Omar&rsquo;s opposition in 2022 through the United Democracy Project. However, according to Jewish Insider, AIPAC <a href=\"https:\/\/jewishinsider.com\/2023\/08\/aipac-anti-israel-lawmakers-squad-jamaal-bowman-ilhan-omar-justice-democrats\/\">felt<\/a> that &ldquo;Don [Samuels] has reached his capacity&rdquo; after he lost the 2022 primary against the anti-Israel Democrat.<\/p>\n<p>While AIPAC mostly watched Omar&rsquo;s 2024 race from the sidelines, Sinensky and his group worked tirelessly to get thousands of Republicans to switch parties to vote for Samuels in addition to raising hundreds of thousands toward the effort to oust Omar.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;In the case of unseating Omar,&rdquo; Sinensky said they had &ldquo;a unicorn of an opportunity&rdquo; in Samuels, who he described as &ldquo;a candidate who stands for values I (and most Americans) support, who also represents a place in the Democratic Party in which Jews are not excluded from social justice.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I will not apologize for exercising my democratic right to support him,&rdquo; he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read Sinensky&rsquo;s full statement to the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em>:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The media often sensationalizes or mischaracterizes snippets of conversation to support the story they want to tell, and this case was no exception.

Ilhan Omar (D-MN). After the prominent pro-Israel PAC opted not to financially back Omar&#8217;s primary opponent, Don Samuels, Michael Sinensky, co-founder of Israel Friends\u2014a charity that has raised over $26 million for Israel since the Hamas attack on October 7\u2014took it upon himself to rally Jewish voters against Omar. In an interview with the Washington Examiner, Sinensky revealed he has faced threats and accusations of Nazi ties after details emerged about his last-minute funding initiative for Samuels.<\/p>\n<p>Messages from a WhatsApp group chat were leaked in a report by the Intercept, which outlined Sinensky&#8217;s and others&#8217; attempts to inject funds into the race. The Washington Examiner accessed all messages from this chat dating back to October 23, 2023. In these communications from July 12\u2014shortly after New York\u2019s Democratic primary\u2014Sinensky expressed views that framed the upcoming election as a struggle between extreme factions within both parties.<\/p>\n<p>Omar criticized this group for discussing their preference for &#8220;alt-right Christian Neo Nazis&#8221; in response to her statements. Sinensky defended himself by stating that media often sensationalizes private conversations and misrepresents them. He clarified that he does not believe most members of either party are extremists but rather was referring specifically to fringe groups.<\/p>\n<p>He emphasized that left-wing extremists who align with &#8220;radical Islam&#8221; pose a more immediate threat to American Jews than right-wing extremists do. Despite providing context during an interview on Jewish Sabbath\u2014which he felt was largely ignored\u2014he reiterated his stance on antisemitism being rampant across all political spectrums today.<\/p>\n<p>Sinensky pointed out how Omar and her allies have contributed to rising antisemitic sentiments since October 7, citing personal experiences including threats against him and violent incidents targeting Jews in New York City.<\/p>\n<p>He expressed disappointment at how media coverage has portrayed these issues but stressed the importance of American Jews organizing politically for their survival amidst growing antisemitism. He noted AIPAC&#8217;s limited involvement in supporting Samuels compared to other races involving members of Congress like Cori Bush (D-MO) or Jamaal Bowman (D-NY).<\/p>\n<p>Despite AIPAC\u2019s minimal financial support for Samuels\u2019 campaign thus far, Sinensky believes they can still succeed through grassroots efforts and mobilizing Republican voters against Omar\u2014a candidate he describes as particularly hostile towards Israel.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, while facing backlash and threats due to his political activism against Ilhan Omar, Michael Sinensky remains committed to advocating for what he sees as necessary actions within the Jewish community amid rising antisemitism<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2670,"featured_media":2325387,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/ilhan-omar-minnesota-primary.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[37353,38293,5205,32076],"class_list":["post-2325386","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-death-threats","tag-jewish-entrepreneur","tag-omar","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/ilhan-omar-minnesota-primary.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2325386","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2670"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2325386"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2325386\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2325387"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2325386"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2325386"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2325386"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
