Schumer’s Real Track Record on Israel and the Ramifications of His Colossal Betrayal   

In a recent address on the Senate floor, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer delivered an address replete with complete betrayal of Israel and as such has stirred controversy and raised eyebrows across the political spectrum. Schumer’s remarks, while cloaked in diplomatic language, essentially amounted to a call for a change in leadership in Israel, urging its citizens to elect a new prime minister.

At the heart of Schumer’s message that dominated the global stage was the sheer rancor and frustration that is reverberating in the White House and the State Department concerning their inability to stop Israel from succeeding in its battle for its existential survival against the Hamas terrorists that brutally massacred 1200 Israelis and others on October 7th while taking 250 hostages.  He pointedly criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing him of prioritizing his own political survival over the best interests of the nation. Schumer’s assertion that Netanyahu’s tolerance of civilian casualties in Gaza is eroding support for Israel worldwide is echoing what Biden has been saying in recent interviews.

However, while Israel stands united in the face of adversity, challenges emerge from within the United States, particularly within the Democratic Party. Despite overwhelming support for Israel among Americans as a whole, a concerning trend is evident within certain segments of the Democratic Party.

The growing anti-Israel sentiment within the Democratic Party’s left wing is deeply troubling. Arab-Americans, Muslim voters, and hard-left activists have increasingly turned against Israel, aligning themselves with narratives that undermine Israel’s right to defend itself against terrorism. This shift in opinion within the Democratic Party reflects a worrying departure from the longstanding bipartisan support for Israel’s security and survival.

At its core, the issue at hand is not simply a matter of political disagreement but a question of fundamental values and principles. Israel is not just fighting a war against Hamas terrorism; it is fighting for its very survival as a nation. The Hamas terrorists responsible for the October 7th atrocities have made their intentions clear: they seek the destruction of Israel and the annihilation of the Jewish people.

In the face of such an existential threat, it is imperative that the international community, including the United States, stand firmly with Israel. Bipartisan support for Israel’s right to defend itself against Hamas terrorism must be reaffirmed, and efforts to undermine Israel’s security must be unequivocally condemned.

Schumer’s address clearly reflected the views not only of “The Squad” (Rep. Rashida Tlaib & her colleagues) but of the increasing number of anti-Israel Democrats in Congress.

Despite his proclamations that he has always been a supporter of Israel and that somehow he is the ‘guardian’ of the Jewish state, his track record proves otherwise. The liberal senator has put party interests before Israel on many occasions including his support for former President Barack Obama’s 2015 Iran nuclear deal which has proven to be an abysmal failure. While Obama let him off the hook and allowed him to vote against it in order to ensure that he be re-elected, Schumer’s comments in favor of the deal illustrated quite clearly that he could not care less about Israel’s security.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s condemnation of Schumer’s stance as “grotesque and hypocritical” encapsulates the polarizing nature of the debate and the deeply entrenched divisions within American politics.

McConnell’s assertion that the Democratic Party faces an “anti-Israel problem” rather than merely an issue with Netanyahu’s leadership strikes a chord with many who perceive a broader trend of hostility towards Israel within certain segments of the political spectrum. Indeed, the weaponization of civilian suffering by Hamas and their apologists further exacerbates tensions and complicates efforts towards peace and stability in the region.

Yes, folks, we need to reassess Schumer’s claim to be Israel’s guardian.

Schumer’s words speak for themselves, when told the Senate, “Israel moving closer to a single state entirely under its control would further rupture its relationship with the rest of the world, including the United States. Support for Israel has declined worldwide in the last few months, and this trend will only get worse if the Israeli government continues to follow its current path.”

He also said that, “Prime Minister Netanyahu has also weakened Israel’s political and moral fabric and he has shown zero interest in doing the courageous and visionary work required to pave the way for peace, even before this present conflict.

Schumer added that “Netanyahu “lost his way” by allowing his political survival to take precedence over the best interests of Israel. He has put himself in coalition with far-right extremists like Ministers Smotrich and Ben Gvir, and as a result, he has been too willing to tolerate the civilian toll in Gaza, which is pushing support for Israel worldwide to historic lows. Israel cannot survive if it becomes a pariah.”

He continued by saying, “the Netanyahu coalition no longer fits the needs of Israel after October 7. The world has changed — radically — since then, and the Israeli people are being stifled right now by a governing vision that is stuck in the past. Nobody expects Prime Minister Netanyahu to do the things that must be done to break the cycle of violence, preserve Israel’s credibility on the world stage, and work towards a two-state solution. If he were to disavow Ministers Smotrich and Ben Gvir, and kick them out of his governing coalition, that would be a real meaningful step forward. But regrettably, there is no reason to believe Prime Minister Netanyahu would do that.”

One need only eyes to see and ears that hear to understand that Schumer is participating in a game of “good cop, bad cop” with the Biden administration.

In this intricate web of geopolitical maneuvering, President Biden has hinted at concerns regarding Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s leadership. While stopping short of outright condemnation, these hints reflect a nuanced approach aimed at addressing internal and external pressures without jeopardizing vital alliances. However, such diplomatic maneuvers risk alienating segments of the Democratic Party’s base, highlighting the intricate balancing act inherent in American politics.

 

If one listens to Biden’s comments about the Israeli position on the war in Gaza and what he has said about Netanyahu being a “bad f—king guy” and someone who is in need of a “Jesus” moment, it is clear that Schumer is the messenger boy;  the court “Jew” who just might be the key to keeping those campaign donations coming in to the Biden coffers from fat cat Jewish honors.

In Biden’s view, Schumer is the right person to galvanize support for abandoning Israel at its most dire moment among Jews and other Israel supporters in the United States.

Schumer’s willingness to actively participate in this nefarious scheme of betrayal speaks volumes about his lust for power in the Democratic party and his disdain for those suffering in the aftermath of the October 7th massacre.

History will amply record Schumer’s words and deeds at this critical juncture. While currently confident in his words, as time marches on, ultimately Schumer will be remembered as a failed leader; a tragic pawn in the Biden quest for re-election and a Jew who stabbed Israel in the back at its most vulnerable time.

Sorry, but there are no excuses for betrayal, Mr. Schumer.
