Here is audio of New York Democrat Sen. Chuck Schumer talking to a Jewish radio show - the Nachum Segal Show- where he blasted the Obama Administration's policy toward Israel as "counter-productive," and said it "had to stop."
Schumer said the "kerfuffle" during Biden's visit to Israel over Israeli construction in East Jerusalem "should never have been an issue to begin with" because it was in Israeli territory and only 5 minutes from downtown Jerusalem.
While Schumer said Israel should not have made the announcement while Biden was in Israel, he said Israel apologized for that and that should have been the end of it.
But Hillary Clinton called Netanyahu and "talked tough" to him, and then through a spokesman, they made that public. In fact, Schumer said the spokesman said the U.S.-Israeli "relationship" was dependent on how "negotiations" went. Schumer said that was "terrible," and should never have been said. The U.S.-Israeli relationship is far deeper and stronger than that. he called that statement a "dagger."
Schumer said he called Rahm Emanuel and the White House and told them that if they did not retract that statement by Hillary Clinton's spokesman, "you are going to hear me publicly blast you on this." They retracted the statement.
Schumer said that he and other Jewish members of Congress will soon meet with Obama, and they will tell him "this has to stop." They will push Obama to make it clear to the Palestinians that the U.S. is behind Israel.

A broken clock, yada yada... I still find Schumer one of the most detestable men in the Senate.
If Chuckie had any balls, he would lay it on the line with Hussein Obama. In essence, tell the empty suit that unless his attitude towards Israel changes, he can forget counting on a Yes vote from Chuckie on his legislative packages.
“A broken clock, yada yada”
Schumer lies! He is only pandering to the NY Jewish community.
Ding! Somewhere an angel just earned his wings.

You bought it, you own it, Chuck.
What a PUTZ!
That would make sense if American Jews weren’t all a bunch of Obamanutz themselves.
Well, when you put a Muslim (sympathizer) in the White House, what do you expect?
Chuckie needs to go. If he really cares about Israel, then he should be in Obama’s face.
Does he do stand-up comedy also?

As for Schumer, he probably read that recent poll —

Schumer is probably reeling from his relationship with John Paulson:

Not all, just 99%.
Not to worry, 90% of the NY Jews will vote for Schmucky and Premeir Achmed; its their duty. 75% would vote for Hitler if he had a D next to his name.
Pray for America
Oh please, Chuckie. You’re a typical leftist Jew, meaning you’re a LEFTIST FIRST and a Jew only when convenient or profitable.
The liberal Jews bought the entire DemoFascist party, including the gangsta Obamunist islamo-nazi wing. They own it (because they have always believed in the deceitful "left-right" political spectrum nonsense (which only splits hairs among totalitarians), which leaves freedom and good will ENTIRELY off the spectrum and out of the picture. Most have repeatedly, rigidly, reflexively rejected capitalism and rational self-interest in favor of socialism and pure altruism).
(Personally, I'm glad there are more and more conservative, pro-capitalist and libertarian Jews appearing. But they're still relatively few and far between.)
Why would an American Jew vote and support an anti-Israel President and expect a good outcome?
He has to take a stand....his numbers must be in the toilet.
