Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is under fire Thursday for a highly inappropriate Senate speech calling for new elections in Israel.Even the White House is trying to do so. distance itself From Schumer’s dangerous and reckless election interference.
“The world has fundamentally changed since then. [October 7]And the Israeli people are currently being oppressed by a vision of governance that is stuck in the past,” Schumer said in what was billed as a grand speech.
Schumer added that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “has lost his way by putting political survival above Israel’s interests.”
Schumer went on to accuse Netanyahu of working with “far-right extremists” who are “driving support for Israel to historic lows around the world.”

What makes Schumer’s speech particularly reckless is that Israel is currently in the midst of an existential war. Imagine Franklin Roosevelt calling new elections in England during World War II.
This is utter insanity on Schumer’s part, and I have no doubt that the same White House is doing it now. keep your distance Schumer also gave him a wink and nudged him in. A key part of Mr. Biden’s coalition is made up of Jew-haters, especially from the battleground state of Michigan, and at this point, Jew-haters from organizations like CAIR won’t even meet with the Biden campaign. So why not send a godless, shameless axeman like Schumer to appease the Jew-haters with an outrageous proposal that accomplishes two things: 1) Gaza. 2) disgrace Netanyahu, the man who won the war, by turning it into a parking lot, and 2) benefit Hamas terrorists by dividing Israel at a time when the country should remain united against Hamas terrorists. may result in
Well, obviously, if the White House was behind it (would Mr. Schumer have done something like that without Biden’s permission?), it’s already backfired in a big way. The reaction was immediate and furious, perhaps explaining why the White House panicked.
Opposition leader and former Israeli prime minister Naftali Bennett:
Regardless of our political opinions, we strongly oppose outside political interference in Israel’s internal affairs. We are an independent nation, not a banana republic. With the threat of terrorism looming over the West, it is best for the international community to support Israel in its just war and thereby protect itself.

Ari Fleischer, former press secretary for George W. Bush:
This is one of the most disgusting speeches ever delivered in the Senate.
1) Senators cannot choose who foreign democracies choose. This is election interference.
2) Schumer does not understand how Israel will come together to destroy Hamas. It’s bigger than Bibi. https://t.co/ffzbgV2olp

Do you know how evil the Democratic Party is?
Hamas committed the Holocaust on October 7th, and Israel is doing nothing but ensuring that such a thing never happens again. But as the Democratic Party allowed angry anti-Semites to join their coalition, Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer (who are Jewish) openly and shamelessly attacked the modern-day postwar equivalent of the Nazis. They are trying to weaken Israel, which is in the middle of World War II. -day holocaust.
We are currently facing anti-social forces who will do anything to maintain their power. Democrats, including Jewish Chuck Schumer, are now proudly supporting Hamas, those who seek to exterminate Israel and the Jewish people, and those who have massacred, raped, and beheaded thousands of innocent Jewish civilians. They cut their heads, desecrated them, committed atrocities, and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with those who kidnapped them. I’m Jewish.
If this doesn’t wake American Jewish Democrats to the threat posed by the Democratic Party, I don’t know what will.
