Picture: Fox News

Zionist Organization of America president Morton Klein expressed concern after Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed refused to label Iran a larger threat to the United States than Israel during a debate, Fox News reported. Klein stated that the response serves as a warning regarding elections following the 7 October attacks. [1]

Speaking to Fox News Digital in an interview, Klein argued that American and Israeli leaders are failing to show strength against rising anti-Zionist voices. Speaking in his personal capacity, Klein called Representative Ilhan Omar a vicious Jew hater and expressed disappointment with Democratic Party leadership. [1]

The remarks come amid heightened global tensions following joint airstrikes on Iran by the United States and Israel on 28 February 2026. As FTMQ News reported earlier, the statements also arrive just weeks before Election Day, as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer warned that heavy Republican spending threatens Democratic Senate candidates in key races.
