Haaretz: Opposition to Israel does not constitute an obstacle to victory in the American elections "Haaretz" declared: the victory of the anti-Israel democratic candidate Abdul Rahman El-Sayed from the state of Michigan in the US Senate elections showed that opposition to this regime does not constitute an obstacle to victory in the battle. This Israeli newspaper wrote that the stunning victory of the Democrats in Michigan and abroad revealed the limits of Israel's political influence more than ever. The first Muslim elected to the Senate won even though AIPAC spent about 40 million dollars against him.
