Schumer to Jewish Audience: Arabs and Palestinians ‘Don’t Believe There Should Be An Israel’
The Blaze ^ | 6/1/11 | Billy Hallowell

Posted on 06/01/2011 10:38:17 AM PDT by Nachum

The left-leaning blog ThinkProgress isn’t happy with Sen. Chuck Schumer’s statement that Palestinians and Arabs “don’t believe there should be an Israel.” Here’s the text of the statement Schumer made at a Jewish function this past Sunday:

The reason there is no peace in the Middle East is very simple. It’s because the majority of Palestinians and the majority of Arabs don’t believe there should be an Israel. It’s that simple. Anyone who tries to figure out a way to solve this conflict without realizing that truth will never get anywhere.

ThinkProgress cites various polls that seem to contradict Schumer’s statements:

Polling conducted in 2009 indicated that 74 percent of Palestinians support a two-state solution based around the contours of the international consensus. Polling conducted in 2010 found that 71 percent support peace negotiations with Israel and that a majority of Palestinians oppose rocket attacks on the country.

For the first time in years I agree with Schmucky. Am I losing it?

Read the Koran.
They think there should be no Jews.

While this is pleasant to read, I'm sure Chuckie will be right back on the reservation come election time. Party above all, you know.

Is he speaking to 'Agudat Yisra'el in that video? It is a chillul HaShem that Charedim would give a platform to such a man.

Liberals have such an aversion to cold hard facts.

Polling must be very instructive. The jewish community is bailing on Obamao and chuck is worried about his donors.

One question though. Which Israel does Schmucky believe in - Netanyahu’s or 0bama’s?

No, just as a blind squirrel finds nut every now and then, every now and then, a correct thought finds its way into Chucky’s tiny, nearly vestigial cerebral cortex. And, even more remarkable, this one must have brushed against the speech neurons which, like Obozo, occupy nearly all of his 21 cubic centimeter cranial cavity.

Perhaps if Sasquatch and Malaria spent a year living in a kibbutz in Sderot or Ashkelon, 0bama might have a different attitude.

Isa 45:17
(17) But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.

Jer 24:7
(7) And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.

Jer 50:19-20
(19) And I will bring Israel again to his habitation, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied upon mount Ephraim and Gilead.
(20) In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve.
