History was made in the Democratic Party last night — and I watched two completely different reactions. For young Arab and Muslim Americans, Abdul El-Sayed's win is one of the biggest nights of their political lives. A first like this doesn't happen by accident. It happens because a generation decided to fight for a seat at the table instead of waiting for an invitation. That is worth celebrating fully. But I also sat with young Jewish voters this week who are scared. When they hear "total arms embargo, no Iron Dome, no defensive weapons," they hear something that goes beyond opposition to a war. They hear something that threatens Israel's basic ability to defend its own children from rocket fire. This is the messy truth of a historic night. Abdul El-Sayed has a real opportunity now to pivot away from indefensible ideas. Conditioning aid is one thing. Saying Israel can't even buy weapons to defend itself from missiles aimed at neighborhoods? That’s another. A great leader would take this moment to jettison unworkable ideas and reassure young Jewish voters — while still honoring the movement that lifted him. Today belongs to young Arabs and Muslims. I'm giving it to them completely. The question of what comes next belongs to all of us.
