Abdul El-Sayed’s victorious path to the US Senate must become a wake-up call(警钟；唤醒信号) to the Democratic party. It shows us, yet again, that Democratic voters care about Gaza, that Palestinian demands for freedom are increasingly connected to American demands for freedom, and that the old smears and accusations against Palestinians and their supporters are fast losing potency.(它再次表明，民主党选民关心加沙，巴勒斯坦人的自由诉求正日益与美国人的自由诉求联系在一起，而那些针对巴勒斯坦人及其支持者的陈旧抹黑和指责正迅速失去效力。)
阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德成功当选美国参议员，这必须成为民主党的警钟。它再次表明，民主党选民关心加沙，巴勒斯坦人对自由的诉求正日益与美国人对自由的诉求联系在一起，而那些针对巴勒斯坦人及其支持者的陈旧抹黑和指责正迅速失去效力。
Even Donald Trump has acknowledged that support for Israel is increasingly a political liability(负担；不利因素) in American politics. Will Chuck Schumer(美国参议院多数党领袖、民主党人) and the rest of the Democratic leadership listen?
就连唐纳德·特朗普也承认，在美国政治中，支持以色列正日益成为一种政治负担。查克·舒默和民主党的其他领导层会听进去吗？
El-Sayed ran a hard-fought(艰苦卓绝的；激烈争夺的) and disciplined campaign that focused on issues which spoke to Michiganders. “Money out of politics, money in your pocket, Medicare for all” was the campaign’s signature(标志性的；招牌的) slogan. But from the outset, the vilest Islamophobic and racist attacks, some of the worst that that we’ve seen in years, were constantly pelted at the candidate, in large part because of his outspoken support for Palestinians.(但从一开始，最恶毒的伊斯兰恐惧症和种族主义攻击——其中一些是多年来最恶劣的——就不断向这位候选人袭来，很大程度上是因为他直言不讳地支持巴勒斯坦人。)
埃尔-赛义德开展了一场艰苦而自律的竞选，聚焦于密歇根州民众关心的问题。“让金钱远离政治，让钱装进你的口袋，人人享有联邦医疗保险”是这场竞选标志性的口号。但从一开始，最恶毒的伊斯兰恐惧症和种族主义攻击——其中一些是多年来最恶劣的——就不断向这位候选人袭来，很大程度上是因为他直言不讳地支持巴勒斯坦人。
