Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) should’ve kept his mouth shut regarding Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and new elections, an old ploy from the Obama administration. Joe Biden can join him, doling out unreasonable and laughable rules of engagement on Israeli forces. What I love about Netanyahu is that he told Biden and the American Left to shove it.
They’re going to move into Rafah soon and destroy Hamas, and there’s nothing weak, old Biden can do about it. Biden is also the reigning world heavyweight champion in being wrong on foreign policy matters. He’s held that title for 40-plus years (via Associated Press):
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu railed Sunday against growing criticism from top ally the United States against his leadership amid the devastating war with Hamas, describing calls for a new election as “wholly inappropriate.”
In recent days, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, the highest-ranking Jewish official in the country and a strong Israel supporter, called on Israel to hold a new election, saying Netanyahu had “lost his way.” President Joe Biden expressed support for Schumer’s “good speech,” and earlier accused Netanyahu of hurting Israel because of the huge civilian death toll in Gaza.
Netanyahu told Fox News that Israel never would have called for a new U.S. election after the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001, and denounced Schumer’s comments as inappropriate.
“We’re not a banana republic,” he said. “The people of Israel will choose when they will have elections, and who they’ll elect, and it’s not something that will be foisted on us.”
There’s been ceasefire agreements on the table for weeks; Hamas keeps rejecting them. Given Netanyahu’s declaration of their strategic aims this weekend, Biden warned against a Rafah operation again. I’m sure BiBi hit the mute button, as he should (via NBC News):
During a critical phone call Monday, President Joe Biden warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against Israel carrying out a planned military operation in Rafah, the White House said.
"Our position is that Hamas should not be allowed a safe haven in Rafah or anywhere else, but a major ground operation there would be a mistake," national security adviser Jake Sullivan said at the White House press briefing where he outlined the leaders' conversation.
"It would lead to more innocent civilian deaths, worsen the already dire humanitarian crisis, deepen the anarchy in Gaza, and further isolate Israel internationally," Sullivan added.
Move forward with your plans to destroy Hamas, Israel. Biden doesn’t know when his son died, so push on.
Misleading title. Nowhere in the article is he directly quoted as saying this.
I hope Bibi told Biden to mind his own damned business.

The end of Ham-ass would be a Good ThingTM
Oh, and P.S., tell your Puppet Master BO to piss off....
The dirty little secret is that most of the Arab world wants Israel to be successful in eradicating Hamas.
I stand with Bibi.
Schumer is a “strong Israel supporter”? Since when? It’s gaslighting schiesse like this that sucks in the gullible and weak minded.

We’re not a banana republic,” he said.
/\
ah ha ha ha.
Buuuurrrrrrnnnnn!
..We’re not a banana republic like you guys...
( true )
The people of Israel choode to... have elections, and who they’ll elect, and it’s not something that will be foisted on us, unlike america has switched to doing.
Totally bogus, although it is what I hope he says. Guess the reporter is paid to make up what folks want to hear.
American Jews are too smart to criticize Schumer. They know the difference between supporting Israel and supporting Bibi.
Careful, Schmuckey. The Israeli intelligence community has six ways from Sunday to get back at you.
Or in Israel’s case that might be “six ways from Saturday.” :)
Anyway, “sow the wind, reap the whirlwind,” Choomer.
Too bad Mossad won’t pay Chucky a little visit….
Schmucky is about to ride the lightning.
"Our position is that Hamas should not be allowed a safe haven in Rafah or anywhere else, but a major ground operation there would be a mistake," national security adviser Jake Sullivan said at the White House press briefing where he outlined the leaders' conversation.
Talking out of both sides of the mouth by the administration. Not surpassing. PM Netanyahu and Israel will do what has to be done.
Who gives a shit? Did anyone in the U.S. bellyache about the poor German and Japanese "civilians" between 1941 and 1945? Even after we killed 100,000 of them over just 48 hours in Toyko? Not one damn peep about it, because the sons of bitches had it coming, and so does Gaza.
:)
If not in this life then shortly thereafter.
What about all the Messican illegal roofers in the U.S. who identify with and support Hamas and hate Jews?
I didn’t know that was a thing.
Most roofers, regardless of race or legal status, have zero time for politics or protests.
