DEARBORN, MI—In a stunning display of political courage, local politician Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed bravely sat down for a warm and cozy interview this week with Osama Siblani, a local publisher who sweetly suggests sending Israeli Jews back to the very European nation where the Nazi death camps were located.
What a guy. His given name should be a clue.
The sit-down took place at the offices of Siblani’s newspaper, The Arab American News, where the atmosphere was thick with mutual admiration and zero awkward questions about why Siblani refers to Hamas and Hezbollah, [scumbags who kill Jewish men, women and their babies] as "freedom fighters."
Siblani gently urged the candidate to do some light emotional labor for the community.
"Some of them are not very happy, as you know," Siblani said.
True to form, El-Sayed immediately offered comfort to voters who might be feeling a bit blue that their favorite militant groups are facing pushback. Explaining that perfection is elusive, El-Sayed pledged to redirect taxpayer dollars to Michigan "rather than send it abroad to kill or maim people who might be related to you in the south of Lebanon or in Gaza or in the West Bank."
During the discussion, the candidate thoughtfully avoided mentioning minor historical footnotes like the October 7 massacre. After all, dwelling on the slaughter of 1,200 innocent Israelis might harsh the vibe of a nice afternoon chat about foreign policy.
Critics have foolishly tried to paint El-Sayed's cozy relationship with extremist sympathizers in a negative light, pointing out instances where he refused to comment on the death of Iran's supreme leader because local residents were sad, or when he explained a synagogue attack by casually noting that "hurt people hurt people."
Naturally, El-Sayed recognized these attacks for what they truly are.
"I want us to remember that when they attack like this, those attacks are the last vestiges of small-mindedness for small-minded people," he said, bravely brushing off pesky concerns about his family's historical ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and the little fact that former President Barack Hussein Obama put his sister on the Terrorist Watch List.
Never one to miss an opportunity to take a stand against corporate lobbying, El-Sayed also made sure to distance himself from Washington interests.
"I'm not willing to take orders from AIPAC," he declared, prompting a clever little joke from Siblani to ensure everyone knew he wasn't talking about Siblani’s own political action committee, because nothing screams grassroots independence quite like a $350,000 fundraiser hosted by a Hezbollah fanboy.
As the interview wrapped up, El-Sayed warned voters that Republicans are definitely going to try and steal the upcoming election, offering the foolproof strategic insight that "You can't steal a 7-point election. You got walloped, so let's go wallop them."
