Schumer tarnished his longstanding pro-Israel reputation foreverin the eyes of a majority of Israelis and a goodly number of Americans
If Schumer’s ego won’t allow him to play second fiddle, he could form a new party, born in SIN — an acronym for “Save Israel from Netanyahu.”
The above is only a Purim spiel, but Schumer, the Senate majority leader, with 25 years of seniority in the Senate, tarnished his longstanding pro-Israel reputation forever in the eyes of a majority of Israelis and a goodly number of Americans by taking to the Senate floor to call for new elections in Israel.
According to Schumer, Binyamin Netanyahu has “lost his way,” and his “coalition no longer fits the needs of Israel.” With unprecedented arrogance, he threatened that if Netanyahu’s coalition remains in power, “and continues to pursue dangerous and inflammatory policies,” then “the United States will have no choice but to play a more active role in shaping Israeli policy by using our leverage to change the present course.”
In plain English, Schumer, who cleared his speech with the Biden administration in advance, declared that if Israel doesn’t install a new government that pursues Schumer’s overriding interest — the re-election of the Biden-Harris ticket — America will curtail its military and political support for Israel.
