Had Mr. Schumer told the truth, he would have said this: Israel's being a pariah among the world's nations tells us much more about the world's nations than about Israel.
Last week, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) twice described Israel as a “pariah” among the world’s nations:
“Israel cannot survive if it becomes a pariah. … [The Israeli public] understands better than anybody that Israel cannot hope to succeed as a pariah opposed by the rest of the world.”
It was for that reason that the majority leader said that Israel should choose a leader other than Benjamin Netanyahu, its current prime minister. Then, Schumer implied, Israel will presumably no longer be a pariah.
In Schumer’s view, and in the view of most of the Democratic Party, as well as that of The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, The Guardian, the BBC, and nearly every university in the West, the world is right and Israel is wrong. Therefore, Israel is a pariah among the nations.
But there is another possible explanation for why Israel is a pariah among the nations: namely, that the nations of the world are morally wrong and Israel is morally right with regard to the war the tiny Jewish country is waging in Gaza against Hamas.
And what exactly does “pariah among the nations” mean? Has a plebiscite among the world’s nations been taken? Do we really know how all the world’s nations view Israel at this time? Or do we only know the views of the world’s governments? And even with regard to governments, Israel is not entirely a pariah. One very significant government, that of Germany, continues to support Israel. As regards the nations themselves, according to polls, the majority of the American people continue to support Israel.

Schumer is a marxist first. He seems to have no ethics or morals. He is Smucky Scumbags to me.
Sounds like John Kerry, who would have wanted to submit US foreign policy to “the global test” for approval.
Same as it ever was.
The world in its lust and pride and under the rule of the spirit of antichrist, has always against Israel and the God of Israel. 2000 years after Abraham until Christ, and now 76 years since Israel's rebirth in 1948.
They will turn Israel into the new South Africa of several decades ago. How’d that work out for SA? Ironically this time it’s a reverse scenario in which a pathologically damaged minority seeks to rule the responsible majority.
Fortunately, the pariah is exterminating Hamas.
Genocide in Gaza? No, the IDF war in Gaza is first degree Hamascide.
The Palestine that was will never be again.
Israel has won the war and the world needs to get over it. What was for decades is to be no more.
We Jews are used to being pariahs.

From Tamil பறையர் (paṟaiyar), from பறையன் (paṟaiyaṉ, “drummer”), from பறை (paṟai, “drum”) or from Malayalam പറയർ (paṟayaṟ), from പറയൻ (paṟayaṉ, “drummer”), from പറ (paṟa, “drum”). Parai in Tamil or Para in Malayalam refers to a type of large drum designed to announce the king’s notices to the public. The people who made a living using the parai were called paraiyar; in the caste-based society they were in the lower strata, hence the derisive paraiah and pariah.
Alternatively, derived from Sanskrit पर (para, “distant; outsider”).

Time for Israel to trust in Almighty God Who looks after His own — and give the rest of the world the finger and do what they have to do to defend themselves.
The enemies of Israel sure like letting their mouths write checks that their fannies can’t cash.
Bad news morons: there is Someone Who will cash those checks and they will NOT like the payout.

Israel As ‘A Pariah’ Among the World’s Nations
History is desperately trying to repeat itself and unfortunately it seldom fails.
UN is anyway not very representative on “Nations”.
Almost quarter on UN members with full voting rights have less than million citizens.
There are many communist and Dictatorial countries, in whose people have no influence on government.
And finally, huge number of people are illiterate, have no idea what is going on, etc.
It seems that US is also often “pariah” among UN voting members.
I would say, just survey those people, in free countries, who can find Israel on the map! Than see, if Israel is pariah among those people?
actually, I would be very interested in such survey!
The USA is committing murder/suicide all over the world. It’s how Democrats roll.
Funny how Israel is a pariah, for attempting to defend itself, while Egypt isn’t for keeping the refugees out!
It is almost like this is all an excuse to bash jews!
But no! the KKK Democrats would never do that! /s
Zechariah 12:3
And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
All coming soon. Daniel's 70th Week (Dan. 9:26-27). IMO sometime the last part of this century. Jacob's trouble but "All Israel will be saved" (Jer. 30:7; Rom. 11:26).
Since Abraham, the 4000 history of the world is the Gentiles hate the Jews.
pariah? please... the “Palis” are the literal definition of pariah, NOBODY wants them!!!
Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer (former Ambassador to the US) on international criticism for the upcoming IDF invasion of Rafah:
"It will happen even if Israel is forced to fight alone. Even if the entire world turns on Israel, including the United States, we're going to fight until the battle's won."
