Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Monday urged President Biden to “remain strong” in support of Israel’s military campaign against Hamas in the Gaza Strip — as his Democratic counterpart, Chuck Schumer, endorsed a push from the left flank of his party for a ceasefire.

Biden so far has supported Israel’s airstrikes in response to a barrage of Hamas rockets, resisting a pro-Palestinian faction among leftwing Democrats, some of whom are leading the push for a ceasefire

Schumer’s truly caught up. Maybe it’s time to jump ship.

Biden does not matter. In the current situation, America has no real part.

The rest of the world has no part either. When Hamas is dead and gone, there will be a cease fire.

Self loathing new. Cease fire only helps the enemy refresh and regroup. Crush them into dust like they deserve.

We shouldn’t choose sides on this conflict.

Only reason for a cease fire is because Hamas is on the losing end; if Israel were on the losing end there’d be nothing but frogs and crickets.

Israeli ceasefire = Hamas reload

No dice! Surrender and stop firing rockets at Israel. Recognize Israel’s right to exist. Come to the peace table with real motivation to find a workable compromise.

Or keep eating IDF shrapnel for breakfast.

this has been going on for a long long time, sooner or later Israel will have to make a choice of extermination or the same crap of endless attacks.

So true. The left's drumbeat has been no more Vietnams but this is exactly the strategy that kept us in that mess.

Schumer is a sell-out to America, our constitution and our individual liberties, and now to Israel too

but as a life-long communist, all that is consistent with is M.O.
nothing is scared to communists except seizing and wielding control and power over people... and to seize power they need to sell-out, sabotage, undermine, weaken countries and societies and individual citizens’ ability to be self-supporting, self-reliant, and free

Looks like Schumer is siding with the savages.

Why should Schumer care? Unlike Pres. Trump, Schumer has no Jewish grandchildren that will need Israel as a place of refuge.

The more radical among Democrats are disappointed.

Under Pressure to Act, Biden Raises Cease-fire, Civilian Toll in Call to Netanyahu
Associated Press at NewsMax
17 May 2021
https://www.newsmax.com/politics/israel-palestinians-diplomacy/2021/05/17/id/1021735/

“Biden’s comments on a cease-fire were open-ended, and similar to previous administration statements of support in principle for a cease-fire. That’s in contrast to demands from dozens of Democratic lawmakers and others for an immediate halt by both sides...An administration official familiar with the call said the decision to express support and not explicitly demand a cease-fire was intentional.”

I wouldn’t be disappointed if something unusual happened in Schumer’s life, something that had very light Mossad fingerprints. That guy is about the biggest scumbag on Crapitol Hill, and that’s unfortunately saying a lot.
