His speech last week is evidence that his party is catering to those who are hostile to the Jewish state.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer last Thursday crossed a political red line that had never before been breached by a leader of his stature and never should be again. In a speech on the Senate floor, he told the people of Israel—one of our closest allies, a true democracy that is at war with an enemy that hates America as well as the Jews—that they should vote their prime minister out of office because “he has lost his way.”
How does Mr. Schumer think Benjamin Netanyahu lost his way? “By allowing his political survival to take precedence over the best interests of Israel,” he said. I don’t know what Mr. Schumer was trying to accomplish. But if you study polling in the U.S. and Israel, on Mr. Netanyahu personally and on the broader question of how the Israelis are conducting the war in Gaza, it looks as if Mr. Schumer’s statement will have a more significant effect on political opinions in the U.S. than in Israel.
Growing numbers of American voters, including a majority of Democrats, and an organized bloc of leftist senators and representatives, oppose Israel’s war policy in Gaza. In Israel, although Mr. Netanyahu’s personal support has dropped, his policy of fighting in Gaza until Hamas is destroyed has the support of an overwhelming majority. Israelis don’t want the atrocities of Oct. 7 ever to be repeated.
While Mr. Schumer’s statement undoubtedly pleased American critics of Israel, for the Israelis it was meaningless, gratuitous and offensive.

I remember him when he represented the upper East Side of Manhattan, and then one day he suddenly represented Far Rockaway. He has the loyalty of a cat and the discretion of a dog.
Now you’re an ultra-MAGA extremist, and the FBI is checking out where you were on Jan6. Oh, well.
. . . who looked the other way - REPEATEDLY - as young children were human-trafficked to sexual destruction.
My opinion is that the attack was intended to cause an uprising in the Muslim world by the Israeli reaction, and spread war fever throughout, with the consequent effect of the destruction of Israel and ouster of the U.S. from the region. Remember that these people are crazy, and have a very distorted world view. Hamas leaders have been dying in great numbers, and ultimately Israel intends to kill every single one of them, soon, and extrajudicially. They know it, and the U.S. State Department understands it. Israeli victory means their death, just as surely as it did for the leaders of the Third Reich, only without any silly Nuremburg show trials. Their acts and words have condemned them. It also means Biden loses Michigan, and a lot of Democrats will sit out the 2024 elections.
Jews account for a lot of Democrat campaign contributions. Will they keep sending money?
Now you know why NYC has RCV and NYS uses RCV-enabled electronic voting machines.
We likely haven't voted for this for years.
BTW, early voting in NYS starts tomorrow.
Deep State loves early voting because it tells them in advance how much they have to cheat.
Stop giving aid and comfort to our enemy.
Stop using early voting.
He has to resign.
Chuck has been over the ‘line’ for a very long time
Lol…
I have a dream that the MOSSAD will take care of the festering puss known as Chuck Schumer.
Do it Israel, do it. You have America’s permission.
So many all over the world insist on playing the game that is over. Thet is certainly true of the Obama faction within the White house and apparently Chuck Schumer.
Palestine as it was and the Obama legacy there is dead.
Actually the worst possible outcome for Schumer is the reality. He is just being ignored.
And New York Jews will still vote democrat. Just like Catholics who have no problem voting for a party that encourages and facilitates all abortion.
Just another example of the clown world we live in.
SCHUMER IS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN A DESPICABLE PERSON, UNWORTHY TO BE A US SENATOR!
Biden’s only job is to look after the best interests of the United States of America.
He has not been doing that. It isn’t his job, or his political party’s job, to dictate to, or look after the best interests, of another country.
Schumer can pound sand. It’s time to take out the trash.
I was at work ,like always.
Schumer is on thin ice messing with God’s chosen people of which he is a part,,,,,maybe Chuck is a closet Pharisee....
