Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer strongly pushed back against the anti-semitic label Republicans have been pushing on Democratic party, arguing that Israel needs a united front from its ally.
“Not only is it demonstrably false to say Democrats are anti-Israel. It also hurts the Israel-US relationship,” Mr. Schumer said at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee policy conference Monday. “Those who seek to use Israel as a means of scoring political points do a disservice to both Israel and the United States.”
His comments come after Democrats have struggled to address anti-semitic controversies surrounding some of its own freshman members and 2020 presidential candidates. Republicans have capitalized on the growing list of controversies to argue that Democrats have become the party of anti-Semitism.
The top Senate Democrat said that Americans had a duty to specifically call out examples of anti-semitism whenever and from wherever they arise “with clarity, with courage.”
Though he didn’t mention any specific names, Mr. Schumer directly condemned the anti-semitic tropes Rep. Ilahn Omar used on Twitter.

Schumer should talk to Pelosi and ask why the House can't even reprimand an anti-Semite member when the world has witnessed her anti-Semitism.
I don’t know what to say. For the first time in a long time :)
It just bounced back to the (D)’s
The only thing Schumer demonstrates is his self hatred and dhimmitude.
Democrats never try to ‘score political points.’
“...Chuckies attempted deflection is pathetic....”
Chuckie is pathetic. NYC Democrat stereotype.

But PLEASE, no names!!!?
Since when is Schumer the Senate majority leader?
I hate Schumer.
Schumer accuses Republicans of using anti-semitism “to make it harder for us to kill all the Jews”.
Fixed it.
I know the print media is feckless, but sheesh, get the easy stuff correct.
Muslims are anti-Semitic, it’s undeniable.
Islam is not just anti-Semitic, though, it is anti-everything-not-muslim.
Good catch, I didn’t pick up on that.
Senate Minority leader.
Who writes and proof reads this crap?
He’s Senate MINORITY leader, not majority, though he always acts as if he is.
..... Naw .... I think it's more like pointing out the endemic Democrat Anti-Semitism to the public because it has been perpetually covered up and kept secret by them since the Holocaust.

Schmuckie is willfully blind and purposely a fool for his beloved DemoRats. The radical anti semites would throw his Jewish butt overboard if they could. Dhimmi dummy Schumie
Just tell your party to stop being anti-semitic, Chuck U.
