Schumer faces backlash after calling for new Israeli elections to oust Netanyahu
The Guardian ^ | Thu 14 Mar 2024 | Chris Stein

Senate majority leader says Israeli prime minister has ‘lost his way’ and warns that country risks becoming ‘a pariah’

SNIP

In remarks from the Senate floor, Schumer said he had a longstanding relationship with Netanyahu but believed he “has lost his way by allowing his political survival to take precedence over the best interests of Israel”.

Noting the prime minister’s inclusion of far-right officials in his government, Schumer said Netanyahu “has been too willing to tolerate the civilian toll in Gaza, which is pushing support for Israel worldwide to historic lows. Israel cannot survive if it becomes a pariah”.

Israel’s ruling Likud party responded to Schumer by defending the prime minister’s public support and saying Israel is “not a banana republic”.

“Contrary to Schumer’s words, the Israeli public supports a total victory over Hamas, rejects any international dictates to establish a Palestinian terrorist state, and opposes the return of the Palestinian Authority to Gaza,” it said in a statement.

“Senator Schumer is expected to respect Israel’s elected government and not undermine it. This is always true, and even more so in wartime.”

The Republican Senate minority leader, Mitch McConnell, struck a similar tone. “Israel is not a colony of America whose leaders serve at the pleasure of the party in power in Washington. Only Israel’s citizens should have a say in who runs their government,” he said from the chamber’s floor, shortly after Schumer spoke.

“Either we respect their decisions, or we disrespect their democracy.”

I have NO DOUBT that much of Israel’s dropping of their guard had to do with US sticking their noses into that country.

I also have NO DOUBT that the October 7 tragedy was caused by the leftists in Israel taking their cue from the idiot leftists in the U.S. The letter informing Bibi of the Hamas activity near the border, which would have allowed him to take proper precautions, never reached him. So how was he supposed to prevent the terrorist incursion? Do not tell me that the slowness of the report to reach him was any sort of accident. It was the Israel leftards trying to make him look bad. Only this incursion turned out to be major and absolutely horrible.

Netanyahu is the Godfather of Hamas. He has enabled them in all ways possible ---- even authorizing another transfer of suitcases of cash through Qatar in Sept 2023.

Where on earth did you get THAT "information"? From the Hamas Tribune?

I agree, unfortunately he did not realize how corrupt the pharmaceutical industry was and still is, probably too much relying and trusting charlatan’s like Fauci. Not that Fauci didn’t know what was going on; as Fauci knew early on that there really wasn’t a good way to come up with a reliable vaccine for this type of virus and infection, he stated so himself a year or two earlier.

Schmuckie should shut his yap, but he loves hearing what he spews. A disgusting human being (I use that term lightly).

All true. Someone mentioned to me a while ago that the Left took advantage that Donald Trump had no empathy. People were dying. Don’t forget the scenes we saw in NYC.

Jeeze, can’t they get rid of this guy for America’s sake? And now, for Israel’s sake too.

Schumer has always been, is now, and always will be one of
the most disgusting figures in the US Senate.

I’ve listened to his views for a long long long time, and I
have very seldom if ever found him to be lining up on the
best side for our nation.

Speaker Mike Johnson:

It is highly inappropriate and simply wrong for Senator Schumer to be calling for new elections in Israel.

We need to stand strong with Israel, but the White House and Senate Democrats are seemingly standing with and supporting Iran and its proxies instead.

The Lord God of Israel will defend His people and Shumer has just angered the almighty. Shumer will reap what he has sewn and will take the democrats with him. Shumer has brought shame onto our nation and it will come with a cost.

If the end result is the elimination of Hamas, and Hezbollah, then whatever led up to the Oct. 7th, “Pearl Harbor” is a moot point to me.

Sonderkommandos and kapos faced immediate death. Schumer is far worse than any of them.

“caused by the leftists in Israel taking their cue from the idiot leftists in the U.S.”

The diversion was the massive protests about the judges.

Schmuckie muckie Schumer has lived off the pig trough since 1981 when he served nine terms in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1981 to 1999 and was then elected to the U.S. Senate. That’s 43 years lining his back pocket with Jewish money. Now he is worried that he will miss out on the Muslim money if he doesn’t get his story in line with a new piper. In short, Schmuckie is not concerned about any other human being other than himself.

Oink!!!

“Money money money money, money . . .
. . . For the love of money
People will lie, Lord, they will cheat
For the love of money
People don’t care who they hurt or beat . . . “

I've been watching Israeli TV on youtube since 10/7. One thing is perfectly clear. the Netanyahu government dropped the ball and he will be out as soon as the war is over. The war cabinet includes his harshest critics as well as his supporters.
Beebe is going to take the political hit for not only 10/7 but the war casualties as well.
Israel figured by 10/8 that Blinken and Biden were going to knife them in the back.
Israel's war plans, as stated by the defense minister are
1. take care of hamas and it's allies in Gaza and the west bank.
2. take care of hezbollah, which is 10 times worse than hamas.
3. take care of iran's nuclear program
the new number 4 is take care of the houthi's and any iranian proxies that attack israel.
no more kicking the can down the road.
And the israeli population is about 90% behind this plan.
just like the US after 9/11
How much war did we wage?
