Dem AG urges Jewish voters to put humanity above 'safety and security' of own people
Developing
According to a video recording reviewed by The Detroit News, Nessel invoked the story of Queen Esther to argue that Jewish Democrats have a "moral imperative to place the needs of the world above even our own self-interest," urging attendees to "sacrifice the comfort, safety and security and even the very future of our own people in exchange for the opportunity to save the rest of humanity.
The real news here is not that Nessel said this, but that she thinks it's a viable pitch to at least a large segment of an audience of Jewish Democrats," Bernstein said, adding that Nessel's comments reminded him of "Jewish Stalinists who stayed with Stalin through the pact with Hitler, and then through the antisemitic purges of the late 1940s, because they believed that absorbing this stuff was the price Jews needed to pay for a better world.
Meanwhile, George Mason University constitutional law professor, David Bernstein, offered a more pointed criticism of the reported remarks.
