Former national director of the Anti-Defamation League Abe Foxman endorsed Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) on Tuesday in her Aug. 2 primary race against fellow Democrat and Jewish Rep. Andy Levin (D-Mich.) for a seat representing Michigan's newly formed 11th Congressional District.

A key difference between the candidates seeking to represent the most Jewish district in Michigan is their positions on Israel.
While both claim to be pro-Israel, Stevens has been endorsed by traditional pro-Israel groups such as AIPAC while Levin has aligned himself with organizations such as J Street and Americans for Peace Now, which call for conditioning military aid to Israel.
Foxman announced his endorsement in an op-ed published in The Detroit News.
"It is my belief that Stevens and her like-minded colleagues promote a strong US-Israel relationship and meaningfully combat anti-Semitism while Levin and his fellow travelers do not," he wrote.
