Michigan Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilcrhist, left, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and attorney general Dana Nessel attend a community support event at Congregation Shaarey Zedek, in Southfield, Michigan on October 9, 2023. Many top Michigan Democrats, including Gov. Whitmer, took part in a huge pro-Israel rally near Detroit after the Hamas Oct. 7 attack on the country. None of them attended a rally in nearby Dearborn the next day to show support for Palestinians in Gaza being killed or forced from their homes by the Israeli military’s response. The war has inflamed tensions between Jews and Muslims everywhere, including the Detroit area, which is home to several heavily Jewish suburbs and Dearborn, the city with the largest concentration of Arab Americans in the U.S. (David Guralnick/Detroit News via AP)
