His speech last week is evidence that his party is catering to those who are hostile to the Jewish state.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer last Thursday crossed a political red line that had never before been breached by a leader of his stature and never should be again. In a speech on the Senate floor, he told the people of Israel—one of our closest allies, a true democracy that is at war with an enemy that hates America as well as the Jews—that they should vote their prime minister out of office because “he has lost his way.”
How does Mr. Schumer think Benjamin Netanyahu lost his way? “By allowing his political survival to take precedence over the best interests of Israel,” he said. I don’t know what Mr. Schumer was trying to accomplish. But if you study polling in the U.S. and Israel, on Mr. Netanyahu personally and on the broader question of how the Israelis are conducting the war in Gaza, it looks as if Mr. Schumer’s statement will have a more significant effect on political opinions in the U.S. than in Israel.
Growing numbers of American voters, including a majority of Democrats, and an organized bloc of leftist senators and representatives, oppose Israel’s war policy in Gaza. In Israel, although Mr. Netanyahu’s personal support has dropped, his policy of fighting in Gaza until Hamas is destroyed has the support of an overwhelming majority. Israelis don’t want the atrocities of Oct. 7 ever to be repeated.
While Mr. Schumer’s statement undoubtedly pleased American critics of Israel, for the Israelis it was meaningless, gratuitous and offensive.

As far as the Democrats are concerned, if it means Holocaust 2.0, it is WORTH IT, if it keeps them in the White House.
My opinion the day after 10/7 - unchanged - is that the attack was intended to destabilize Israel and oust Netanyahu.
It is disturbing for evidence of such verbalized by an American leader who’s in bed with DS and globalists.
He crossed my “red line” in 1981! When he became a NY CongressCritter!
He has been bad for NY and America ever since!
No he didn’t. He’s having it both ways just like the Nazi collaborators in WW2.
So why doesn’t some republican call him out on it? Don’t expect any of note say so. Maybe a wink wink.
He should have given Bi Bi a kiss first.
If they wanted to oust him, they miscalculated. Even Benny Gantz doesn’t want an election right now.
Democrats are so desperate they’re pandering to a virulently anti-American segment of the population.
Genesis 12:2-3 I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; and all the families of the earth will be blessed through you.”
Spot On. We are ruled by American Marxists, everywhere. Be braced. They are desperate and dangerous.
He did that a long time ago
Right now you have Jewish Democrats and old school liberals who's pro-Israel. But they're history and they're too "white" so there's no place for them.
Netanyahu should plead for Americans to vote the President and Chuck Schumer out of office because they have lost their way.
I hope American Jews finally come to their senses and stop voting for these losers.
“How does Mr. Schumer think Benjamin Netanyahu lost his way? “By allowing his political survival to take precedence over the best interests of Israel,” he said.”
Pure projection. Biden is allowing his political survival to take precedence over the best interests of Israel. Projection is a mental defect.
Israeli lobby pays good? only politicians care...the PA have all the political capital that effects real votes (MI) that is why the speech...american Jews vote democrat always so have no political power as Trump says....expect the PA to win this one .
Sure. Instead he should have instigated a vote of “no confidence” and worked behind the scenes together with the WH to undermine Bibi, like the Clintons and Obama did. Doesn’t he know anything about election interference. Never say the quiet part out loud. What a piece of chicken sh!t.
I always wanted to slap those glasses off his face with my left ,and punch him square in the nose with my right.
Is this the same Joe Lieberman who shined Schumer’s shoes for years?
Trump it put it best, as he always seems to, when he said Crying Chuck Schumer is a stupid politician.
