Bloomfield Township Trustee Stephanie Fakih censured for social media comment considered antisemitic.
Bloomfield Township Trustee Stephanie Fakih was censured 6-1 by her board for calling Zionists "scum of the earth" on social media, which many viewed as antisemitic. The censure followed a heated public meeting where over 100 citizens voiced strong objections, particularly from the Jewish community. Fakih defended her comments as targeting Zionism, not Judaism. The board acknowledged her free speech rights but emphasized that hate speech is unacceptable.
