There is no quibbling on this one. Cenk Uygur, Hasan Piker’s uncle, gleefully promoted Rebellion PAC’s ad against Mike Rogers. The problem with this ad? It’s blatant, in-your-face, antisemitism.

New @RebellionPac ad dropping in Michigan. 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. pic.twitter.com/mtgVOyNczg

Yes seriously, Rebellion PAC went there. Grocery shopping, according to this PAC means not purchasing certain items such as eggs because that money has to be used to kill Palestinians. In other words, Israel is taking money from Americans, therefore Israel is the one to blame for the high costs of bananas, eggs, and any other grocery item they can think of.

This ad is literally a video version of the posters and newspaper cartoons from the 1930’s. And Hasan Piker’s uncle Cenk is celebrating this ad.

Needless to say, the backlash to this ad covers both sides of the political aisle and then some. I don’t like Dan Goldman, but here he not only swings hard against El-Sayed and Rebellion PAC, he lays into Ben Rhodes.

My values, my identity and my community are far more important to me than any individual election result. Regardless, it’s widely understood that I lost in my particular district for the same reasons this ad is repugnant, blatantly false, and incites even more violence against…

El-Sayed’s campaign is desperately trying to distance themselves from Rebellion PAC.

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan, sought to distance himself on Monday from an outside group’s political ad that endorses him and attacks his Republican opponent over support of Israel, a longtime U.S. ally.

In the video ad, set in a grocery store, a woman tells a man, presumably her romantic partner, that he needs to return a carton of eggs to the shelf. The man then asks whether their kids “don’t like eggs anymore.”

“No, they like eggs,” the woman says. “But we have to set that $7 aside for killing Palestinians.”

The man and woman then bemoan the cost to taxpayers of U.S. military aid to Israel, which amounted to more than $21 billion between fall 2023 and fall 2025, according to Brown University’s Costs of War Project.

Dr. El-Sayed’s campaign emphasized that the ad, created by a left-wing political action committee called Rebellion PAC, was “not affiliated in any way” with him or his candidacy.

It doesn’t matter how fast the campaign runs from this. El-Sayed has long been on record regarding his antipathy towards Israel. He’s been so blatant about it that many Michigan Jews are either planning to vote for Mike Rogers, or leave the block entirely blank. 

Supporting a nominee after a hard-fought primary is an act of party unity, not a surrender of principle. Democrats asked to set aside their differences for U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed had every right to expect something in return: a commitment to earn their trust, address legitimate concerns and unite a party whose nomination he won with less than 50% of the vote.

He has failed that test. As a result, we will not vote for Abdul El-Sayed. Some may then conclude we, or other loyal Democrats, need to vote for a different party, but for many of us, leaving the ballot blank is an act of dignity.

Our gravest concerns involve El-Sayed’s associations with figures who have excused or minimized terrorism, his reluctance to unequivocally condemn dangerous rhetoric, and his support of extreme policies. At a time of rising antisemitism, Democrats deserve leadership that unequivocally rejects rhetoric threatening Jewish communities.

Rejecting antisemitic rhetoric and actions that threaten American Jews is something that El-Sayed is incapable of doing. Everyone knows that.

Haley Stevens, who lost to El-Sayed in the primary knows this ad is entirely wrong and is causing huge problems with Democrats in Michigan.

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. Do we need to lower costs by building more homes, securing people’s health care, and creating a… https://t.co/lzk5saogEK

CNN’s Van Jones, who has made it clear over the last couple of months that he doesn’t like El-Sayed, is unequivocally NOT a fan of Rebellion PAC’S anti-Israel screed.

Indeed. Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign is trying to run away from this ad. But has he stepped up and denounced it? No. And he won’t.

Watch the ad again. And then consider this.

Get that, Michigan voters? The Jews are to blame for all of society’s ills.

The Jews are our misfortune.

It’s such vile, unapologetically Nazi drivel that it’s tempting to laugh it all off, especially as the bloated buffoon who produced this bit of schlock is best known for such moral nadirs as his warm interview with David Duke and his denial of the Armenian genocide.

But Uygur’s ad strikes a deeper chord.

It reminds Jewish Democrats that no matter how hard they try to fit in, their party now truly and deeply hates them.

It’s a timely reminder, too, for Jewish Michiganders.

Elect El-Sayed, it promises, and we’ll make every single issue about the Jews.

Van Jones is absolutely correct. This anti-Jewish hate masquerading as a political ad needs to be taken down. Otherwise, the longer it stays up, the more it WILL incite bad actors.

El-Sayed won’t denounce this ad, especially when his campaign is sending text messages urging voters to stand with him…AGAINST Israel.

This country cannot afford the mainstreaming of hate like this. It’s against everything we stand for, and flies in the face of what we fought for in World War II.
