Nolte: All Sides Blast Schumer for Interfering in Israel’s Election Process
Breitbart ^ | 03/14/2024 | John Nolte

Posted on 03/14/2024 12:28:47 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is under fire Thursday for his highly inappropriate Senate speech calling for new elections in Israel. Even the White House is attempting to distance itself from Schumer’s dangerous and reckless election interference.

“The world has changed — radically — since [October 7], and the Israeli people are being stifled right now by a governing vision that is stuck in the past,” Schumer said in what was described as a major speech.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has “lost his way,” Schumer added, “by allowing his political survival to take precedence over the best interests of Israel.”

I think Israel should issue an arrest warrant for Schmucky due to his overt attempt to overthrow the democratically elected government there, then demand the US arrest and expedite him for trial.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist or even a CIA assessment here. Netanyahu was PM for a long time. His party has not had a clear majority and has had to form coalitions. He was out of power for about two years after no-confidence votes. The PM after him was also no-confidence in short order, as was the next one. So the electorate, wanting some government that would last more than 8 months, went back to Netanyahu’s party. And he put a coalition together.

So it is true he was not “the most popular” person, he’s just more practical person to put a government together. Before Oct 7th more people wanted someone else but no one other person had more votes than his party. BUT, the majority wanted a center-right governing coalition. With Netanyahu they get a right-center governing coalition. A minor distinction, but still a distinction. The compromises an Israeli PM has to make to form a coalition can be steep in price. The left and far left have been more and more out of favor ever since Oslo... which should tell us all something about the “peace process” - the Israeli people don’t believe they have a partner in the process so the policy has been on security. (They obviously made some errors, and Netanyahu will probably pay the price for that when the dust settles but probably not right now in the middle of combat and close to victory). The Labor party used to rule Israel for decades but I don’t think they even get 8 seats out of 120 anymore. The free market, industry, center-right are the majority. During Oslo you did have some years of left+right “unity coalition” but after the Intifada of 1999 and Oslo fell apart, the Israeli electorate dumped the left and had to make choices about self-defense.

Now AFTER Oct 7th, it probably doesn’t matter if you swapped Netanyahu out for Benny Gantz. Policy isn’t likely to change all that much. Israel is 80% or so united against Hamas and so that isn’t going to change. And some of this hatred in the streets, and the opposition from Schumer, and the “floating dock for aid” is grandstanding for US domestic consumption. Few people even know that Israel has secured and helped to re-open the pita bread factories for example, or secures the delivery of 200 or so trucks every day, and has allowed 100s of air drops on top of that. Now when everyone is screaming about “getting more aid in” on would think that something like that - actually making food in Gaza for Gazans - would make a headline. But nope. It doesn’t fit the narrative. We could have fewer protesters in the street and more movement towards a solution if the media showed video of Israeli troops securing the bread factory and supply of grain and 200,000 pita pockets rolling off the assembly line every hour and Gaza kids enjoying a lunch on the beach. We don’t get to see those images because TPTB want agitation, the want anger, because that generates clicks and views.

Schumer instead is trying to pacify the US left by showing he’s butch against the Israeli leader. That’s his call I guess. I think he would do better if he showed food being made and delivered to hungry kids and claim that this only happened because of US influence. He has to decide which image will get more Democrats votes. Anger seems to be the Democrats go-to play on any topic - solutions to problems being realized are too “soft sell” I guess.

Imagine Franklin Roosevelt calling for new elections in England during World War II.

Some people think the most dangerous place to be is at the border separating Israel from Gaza but in reality, the most dangerous place to be is when stepping between Upchuck Schumer and a TV camera.

He’s the darling of the 92nd Street Y and is as firmly ensconced in the Liberal Jewish hierarchy as the stone statue of Gandhi above the altar of St Thomas Church on Fifth Avenue. Neither committed to the true orthodoxy of Judaism, nor willing to come out, and say that the Biblical narrative is hogwash. He has danced around the truth for years, and with the shrewdness and dexterity of ‘Olivers’ Fagin, he smiles as he woos the electorate, like a good Democrat, all the while humming to the tune of “You’ve got to pick a pocket or two!”
Wake up Jews, and dump this guy, and his ilk if you want Israel to survive.
