Senator Chuck Schumer stood at the Senate podium and laid out his vision of the “four obstacles to peace”. These, according to the Senate Majority Leader were, Hamas, “right wing Israelis”, PLO terrorist leader Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Having equated Israeli conservatives to Hamas, Schumer demanded that Israel call a new election and remove its current government from power. And if Israelis did not choose to obey, he warned that the “United States will have no choice but to play a more active role in shaping Israeli policy by using our leverage to change the present course.”
That is an obvious euphemism for anything from the withdrawal of aid to economic sanctions.
If the Israelis vote wrongly again, the Biden administration “should use the tools at its disposal to make sure our support for Israel is aligned with our broader goal of achieving long-term peace and stability.” Peace and stability paradoxically means a ‘Palestinian’ terrorist state.
What did Netanyahu do wrong? According to Schumer, he won’t commit to a terrorist state and insists on finishing off Hamas in Rafah. Or as Schumer put it in his Orwellian tortured diction, he “won’t commit to a military operation in Rafah that prioritizes protecting civilian life.” The kind of operation the Biden administration has in mind is a few targeted strikes on Hamas leaders when no civilians are around. That’s the way we fought and lost in Afghanistan. Biden would like to turn Israel into another Afghanistan with Hamas as the Taliban.
In plain language, Schumer is warning Israel to stop its war on Hamas or face sanctions.
The subtext is that Schumer and the Jewish Democratic leadership have come around to giving Hamas a pass in order to appease the Hamas supporters of Dearborn, Michigan.
Schumer was more or less subtle about it while the Jewish Democratic Council of America said the quiet part out loud in its statement praising his speech “as we consider an end to this conflict, which has taken far too many innocent lives.” That line could have come from J Street.
In his speech, Schumer whined that he was “anguished that the Israeli war campaign has killed so many innocent Palestinians” and warned that “Israel has a moral obligation to do better.” The leftist politician clamored that “what horrifies so many Jews especially is our sense that Israel is falling short of upholding these distinctly Jewish values.”
This familiar “as a Jew” rhetoric is largely indistinguishable from that of anti-Israel groups such as J Street and JVP except that Schumer still hedges somewhat by blaming Hamas for it. Schumer even manages to suggest that proponents of destroying Israel are motivated by “idealism”. Meanwhile, Jewish opponents of a terrorist state are “offensive” and “extremist”.
The political hack who calls himself “the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in our government” took half a year after Oct 7 to begin denouncing Israel’s war on Hamas.
But Schumer is hardly alone. The JDCA has made the same pivot. So have many Jewish Democrat officials all responding to Biden’s call for a ‘Come to Jesus’ moment. The actual call however is coming from another deity entirely who is worshiped in Dearborn, Michigan.
Biden is desperate to end the war in order to appease Muslim Democrats in Michigan who have made no secret of their support for the terrorists. And Schumer and the JDCA put party first. Their strategy of ‘Netanyahuizing’ the conflict is as dishonest as when Obama framed opposition to his bailout of Iran’s terrorist regime in terms of Netanyahu, not American Jews.
The JDCA wants an “end to this conflict” and Schumer keeps claiming that he wants to see Hamas gone, yet warns that any attempt to finish it off in Rafah is unacceptable. The only acceptable answer to Oct 7, according to Biden, Schumer and the Democrats is a terror state.
And, Schumer argued, if Israel refuses to create a terror state, “then what reasonable expectation can we have that Hamas and their allies will lay down their arms?”
What reasonable expectation should anyone ever have that Hamas will lay down its arms?
But it’s a slip that reveals that the actual vision is not to defeat Hamas, but to reach some phantom deal with it in which it will “lay down its arms”. There are more slips throughout the speech for those who pay close attention. “There can never be a two-state solution if Hamas has any significant power,” Schumer says at one point. “Any proposal that leaves Hamas with meaningful power is unacceptable to me and most all Israelis.”
What do “meaningful” and “significant” amounts of power mean?
I previously reported on the Moscow summit with the Palestinian Authority, Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other terrorist groups where the various killers agreed to let the PA represent the ‘Palestinian’ cause. This is part of a plan to put forward a “technocratic” government that would not contain members of Hamas, but which would still represent and take orders from Hamas.
Under such a false flag, Hamas would retain power without having an official role.
Senator Schumer and the Democrats may deny that this is what they want, but the simple fact is that nowhere in the extended speech does he call for the defeat of Hamas. Schumer knows the term and used it in his speech on antisemitism back in November, describing the “Israeli army’s action to defeat Hamas in self-defense of their people,” Now defeating Hamas is off the table.
Instead, Schumer concludes by praising “families of the victims of October 7 who have been calling for peace, asking their government to transcend the cycle of bloodshed and revenge.”
This is the new narrative.
Fighting Hamas would be perpetuating the “cycle of bloodshed and revenge” while giving the terrorists who murdered over a thousand people their own state would be an act of peace.
As polls show the vast majority of Israelis want to finish off Hamas, the self-proclaimed “highest-ranking Jewish elected official in our government” threatens that actions will be taken against them if they don’t vote for pro-terrorist leftists and stop their struggle against Hamas.
The Arab Muslim occupiers of Judea and Samaria, Schumer contends have their “own distinct culture, identity, cuisine” and since they have their own cuisine, the “idea espoused by some that “there is no such thing as Palestinians” today is inaccurate, offensive, and unhelpful.'”
It’s accurate, but unfortunately offensive and unhelpful to winning Michigan in 2024.
Despite polls showing that the overwhelming majority of Arab Muslims living in the terrorist occupied territories support Hamas, support the atrocities of Oct 7, and oppose peace, Senator Schumer and his Jewish Democrat allies have decided to roll back the clock to Oct 6. To once again begin pretending that there is an Arab Muslim constituency for peace and that the moment Netanyahu and “right wing Israelis” get out of the way, peace will arise out of thin air.
Schumer’s speech is cynical and dishonest. It’s a betrayal of American and Jewish values. And it marks a craven surrender to the supporters of Hamas inside his movement and his party. After a few months of standing with Israel, the Dems, with the exception of a handful of elected officials, like Sen. Jon Fetterman, have come out against any further campaign to stop Hamas.
The terrorists may not have won in Israel, but they have triumphed within the Democratic Party.
The left has realized that it either can have Islam or LGBTQIA+. Not both.
What’ll they do with Barack Hussein Osama AKA Bathhouse Barry?
Shhh, Now, now! Show some respect for the stealth President! His arm is elbow deep up Biden’s azzzz working the dummies controls.
That’s not his arm.
What’ll they do with “Michael” ?
nearest tall bldg drop
Actually the Left hasn’t figured that one out yet. Hence, Gays and Trans for Palestine ext, At every Jew hating “protest” you can see weird, sexual deviants parading around in their kefiahs zombie like repeating the hate mantras of Hamas.
Yeah! Let’s criticize Hamas for being intolerant religious fundamentalists by using intolerant religious fundamentalist language!
are you taking a break from felching mullahs to post more ignorant, limey wanker brain farts?
heh heh huh. he said ‘felching’
IMO Schumer is the most despicable, whining member of Congress and should just keep his mouth shut.
Schumer should be sanctioned by every Jew in America.
Stab Israel and Jews -in-the Back Schumer is a depraved psychopathic morally corrupt fool.
Sanctioned ? your being much too kind.
he meant ‘sectioned’
Schumer is a lying a-hole.
I would love to have been a fly non the wall when Dementia Joe recruited Schmucky Chucky to deliver this threat. I’m sure he made liberal use of the “K word” and terms like “Jewboy”.
And Schumer is despicable enough to cave.
Fly non the wall. Tee hee!
Ben Shapiro said the other day that Biden’s two-state solution was Michigan and Minnesota.
Michigan and Minnesota. Both states that should be forced to be part of Canada and denied all contact with America, especially supplies and energy.
Oh, wait. Much of Michigan is inhabited by decent people. Just excise shit-holes like Detroit and Dearborn. I’ve been to Detroit and it’s even worse than its reputation is. MUCH worse.
But fuck Minnesota. Leave it to the mosquitos, bogs and commies.
I know what you mean Jeff. Was there about 30 years ago. Only HI I’ve ever stayed in that needed 3 keys to access my room, One to open the building door, one to access the correct hallway and a third for the room door. Also had 3 phones, one by the bed, one on the desk and one on the bathroom wall
I agree. But who gets the Twins, the Vikings, the Tigers and the Lions? They’ve gotta be losing $$$s bigly
How about Sanctions against all those Terrorists sponsoring Nation lets try is on the whole UN as a matter of Fact
Fornicate the UN.
The US out of the UN, and the UN out of the US.
We can turn the UN Facility into a Homeless Shelter Teach them to live on their own in a Home and we can smelt down t heir Disarnimate Sculpture into thousands of Handguns for law abiding Americans
Israel must take out its true enemies arming and funding Hamas and the Houthis, Iran and the Biden administration!
20 years ago a little sweet Gazan baby boy, indoctrinated with hate from birth, grew up to be a rapist and murderer. So will the little boys in Gaza today.
Egypt and Jordan refuse to take these animals for the threat they pose to their own rule.
Kill’em all Israel.
Are we wondering what Transformational Barack Obama is doing solo in Britain and Belgium this week?
Spanking his tiny monkey, probably.
Or david cameron’s.
I hate that POS!
Something treacherous, no doubt.
Bringing the equally treacherous british government into his schemes.
Not that they need any encouragement.
Every time I begin to think California voters are the dumbest and most despicable in the union, New York proves me wrong. Schmuckie Schemer makes Nasty Pelousy seem almost human in comparison. And not even Greasehead Newscum is as inhuman as Kathy Ho-Cthultu.
Schumer and Pelousy, were both WHELPED from SWINES.
Schumer not only threw Israel its government and the IDF under the bus but also the American Jewish community as he demonstrated that he has no values other than winning as a Democrat
When we read of Jews insulted on campus, we wonder why they stick around to be abused. When we read of Senator Schumer broadcasting the lies of Hamas and the US Administration about Israel, we wonder how long Jews will have anything to do with him.
Oh, that phrase “lay down their arms” is a good one. One of the secrets to the success of Muslim Terrorists is stockpiling arms everywhere. Fantastically large quantities of arms. So wherever they go they can grab a weapon.
Israel also needs to start stockpiling large quantities of arms in case of need. Relying on resupply from overseas has failed.
Excellent article but you should post a link to your equally superb article about Schumer’s so called “spiritual leader” who is his equivalent of Obama’s Reverend Wright who officiated at Schumer’s family’s life cycle events -Schumer who early in his career went to every Jewish communal event possible , is a Brooklyn hack who has always eschewed bipartisanship and who loved being on the talk shows
What is it in a “far-leftist, lesbian, counterfeit rabbi” that inspires Schumer religiously? He has kissed Judaism goodbye.
Far as I’m concerned, he did that in 2015 when he voted against the JCPOA but wouldn’t urge other Senators to do likewise. I mean, hey, what’s more important, the annihilation of Israelis or a “win” for Obama? What a Quisling he is.
I didn’t see it myself but read Trump said any Jews voting Democrat hate Israel and Jews ( rough paraphrase). Leave it to Trump to be blunt and accurate.
Rough paraphrase of the statement you didn’t hear. The level of discourse on this site is as lofty as ever.
Your leftist level of discourse is as low rent as ever, but I’m in a generous mood. From Time Magazine https://time.com/6958299/trump-israel-democrats/:
“Former President Donald Trump on Monday charged that Jews who vote for Democrats “hate Israel” and hate “their religion,”.
So what’s wrong with that? Looks like the guy’s paraphrase was pretty accurate. And Trump was quite blunt and accurate.
No doubt you would like to see a forever war in Israel, with Hamas getting their cease fire so they can re-arm and attack again. But then, you have always been a sick little leftist.
Guess what….the IDF is planning on an attack at another Hamas run hospital where. OMG Hamas is hiding weapons. Who’da thunk it? Sounds to me like you want Hamas to win.
Schumer: “I want to tell you Netanyahu. I want to tell you Israel. You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with this awful war. The United States government has six ways from sunday of ruining you if you destroy Hamas. Don’t you dare win this war.”
Never mind that Israel was attacked by Hamas on Oct.7th. Never mind that Hamas has broken every cease fire with Israel. Never mind that Israel has been preemptively attacked by Muslims in every war they have fought. The Democrats just gotta get those Jews.
Is that actually what he said???
🤬🤬🤬🤬
What I wrote is a paraphrase of what he said to the Supreme Court a couple of years ago re: the Bruen Descision and what he said to Trump regarding the Russia Hoax. I just sort of combined them and added some other stuff so I could make fun of Schumer.
The second paragraph is mine alone. 7 upvotes, no downvotes.
Pretty funny huh? I know for a fact Schumer hates Netanyahu. He wants a wimp like Ehude Barak running Israel. I think Schumer is really pro-Hamas, but he’s got progressive Jewish voters to answer to.
Did you see the video? …
Fumer could hardly control his face… you could see him twitching …
He wanted to smirk so bad … it must have hurt.
“Meaningful Power”. That’s another good phrase. All Hamas needs is a knife to have meaningful power. Then like the Muslim sect of old, the Assassins, they can use terror to climb back into power.
Schumer is writing his political autobiography to be called Profile In Cowardice.
Profile in Treason.
The Palestinian Playbook:
1. Kill as many Jews in Israel as possible.
2. Celebrate in the streets.
3. Promise that attacks will not stop until all 7 million Jews in Israel are dead.
4. Hide behind Palestinian children.
5. Show dead and suffering Palestinian children to CNN.
6. Whine to CNN about Collective Punishment and War Crimes.
7. Demand an Immediate Ceasefire.
8. Get Europe and the USA to demand an immediate Ceasefire.
9. Get Politically Correct Jews worried about reelection and accusations of dual loyalty to join in the demand for an immediate Ceasefire.
10. Force Israel to accept an immediate Ceasefire.
11. Repeat 1-10
Works every time.
Schumer whined that he was “anguished that the Israeli war campaign has killed so many innocent Palestinians”
What has Schumer to say about all the innocent Israelis, Americans and others killed, raped, beheaded and dismembered on Oct. 7th? Not to forget those taken hostage and their fate.
But that pales with his attack on the affairs and government operation of a foreign ally.
Schumer has been a horse’s butt for a long time, but has, for a few years now, become a loudmouth abusive jackass.
BTW: Didn’t Clinton’s two state solution, give birth to Hamas in the first place?
Hamas and their supporters shout it every chance they get; “from the river to the sea” leaving nothing for Israel except death. That’s the goal Chuckie.
Fumer loves killing babies … and he has no problem with burning American cities …
I’m surprised he can even feign concern over Jewish victims of Islamic terror …
Same dynamic as in WWII with Brooklyn Cong. Sol Bloom and Rabbi Wise defending FDR instead of joining with Peter Bergson and Ben Hecht to demand rescue of European Jewry from Nazi extermination. American Jewish leaders care more for their access to personal power than helping their coreligionists. Probably not unique to the USA given the history of the Judenrat in Nazi Europe and the Yevreysektia in the former USSR. A big problem.
A college friend of mine in her congregation actually told me that she was pro-Israel sometime before I sent him Greenfield’s article. When I asked him whether she belonged to J-Street after sending the article…he didn’t answer! The congregation is Brooklyn’s answer to Manhattan’s Temple Emanu-El. Reform leader Rabbi Rick Jacobs is also objectively pro-Hamas, so Rabbi Timoner may just be following the Reform party line…let that sink in!.
I am a non Jew who supports Israel. Schumer is a cheap vicious skunk who is a traitor to both America and Israel. ‘Innocent civilians’ is a stupid lie trotted out by the left to justify their trying to destroy Israel as a free country. Vicious tyrants, Hamas included, depend on civilians for their continued existence and for the ability to carry out their terrorist acts. Tyrannies cannot exist without complicit civilians which is why during WW2, in my view, the last war which we actually won, America eradicated German and Japanese civilians to destroy the ability of the German and Japanese war machines to fight. Israel should (I use that word to imply a strong moral basis to do so.) continue to wipe out Hamas, both the leaders and the civilians until nothing is left.
Poor old Schumer. Still doing battle against God and thinks he can win. Sad and funny at the same time.
Schumer is a blowhard, nothing more. What an embarrassment to New York Schumer represents!
Somebody find a beisbol bat and use it to whatck UpCHuckie S upside his haid to get his attention off himself for a nanosecnd or three, then tell him plainly that for Israel to ignore Hamas IS a sanction. A ftal and intolerable sanction.
Israel are in it for the long haul, and will not back down before they either rid the planet of Hamas OR are all gone.
No sane, civilized person supports genocide. But can you have sympathy for someone hospitalized for hundreds of hornet stings when he stupidly threw a brick into the nest? Israel does what any attacked nation does, it fights back. This is not hard to understand, Mr. Schumer.
Who ever said Muslims were sane?
Probably the same person that said Schumer was sane.
Senator Chuck Schumer words are a reflection of the left –wing ideology of Joe Biden when Schumer said “That Israel must stop the war with Hamas or face sections “
The very idea of the officials of the State of Israel stopping with war on Hamas is a fool idea..
For Hamas on October 7th 2023 started this war with its jihadist murderous invasion of Israel and the other heinous and vile atrocities the Hamas jihadists commuted and still commit .
Hamas, should be dealt with defeated and even destroyed is to hit it hard , hit it long and keep on hitting it with strong powerful forceful military strikes until it’s unable to raise up again with its ugly , vicious and deadly jihad Islamic head.
For its rightly and wisely said, “Half –measures in was is folly and madness.”
Concerning those horrific jihad attacks by Muslim terrorists of Hamas on October 7th, 2023
It’s very important and necessary for the Israeli government to launch retaliatory strikes against Hamas.
The reason why this is so had been explained over 200 years ago by a US President , Thomas Jefferson, who had wisely declared “With every barbarous people…force is law.”
Even before Senator Chuck Schumer had said that outlandishly fool statement terrible old Joe Biden actually that the gall to send a message to Benjamin Netanyahu of “Not to hit Hamas too hard.” Biden’s so called “advice” should be rejected.
It’s very obvious that treacherous old Joe must really admire and like the aggression of the hostile violent and murderous jihad of Islam.
It’s actually impossible to “hit Hamas too hard.” The reason why this is so is because as hard as the Israeli military can strike Hamas it never hard enough..
Nevertheless, Israel does need to strike Hamas as hard as she can keep on hitting that deadly savage jihad entity and not stop hitting it.
If not, Hamas will a resurgence, and in time, launch another malicious jihad attack against the State of Israel and murder more of her citizens.
That awful message that jihadist loving Joe is complete nonsense and total 100 % balderdash.
In contrast to the words of folly given by Biden, there is the wisdom that was spoken by a real US President, James Monroe, who declared in a speech “The right of self -defense never ceases. It is among the most sacred, and alike necessary to nations and individuals.”
Chuckie Schmuckie should FOAD, and take the entire corrupt, rotting biden administration with him.
I hope they all enjoy the h3ll they’re going to get for their treachery.
If this isn’t blatant interference, attempted intimidation and blackmail of a sovereign nation, I don’t know what is.
They are not just threatening Israel’s government, they are openly threatening every single
Jew in Israel.
This cannot possibly be legal.
I do believe that Mossad needs to get busy.
It may be a violation of international law but who’s going to do anything about it? Democrats ignore our own SCOTUS so why would they worry about international law?
What is wrong with these Jews? They want the destruction of Israel? It’s insane. The IDF should hit hamas so hard they never raise their heads again. Slaughter them Old Testament style.
Israel won’t be stupid enough to warn Senator Schumer if they decide to “sanction” him.
I have often noticed that American politicians are always telling other countries what kind of Government or System they should have because Uncle Sam knows whats best for them while America is falling apart at the seams.
Old Joe AND Nasty Peelosi both said… ”Perhaps we need regime change in Russia”…
Just who the hell do these people think they are ?.
Inquiring minds want to know.
Shumck Chuer is prostituting himself as the Kapo for the Biden administration.
He believes he must outsquad the squad from the left, to win the next election.
Let’s not kid ourselves. This is all Obamanese, leading from the -Behind.
Obiden it’s taking that page from the previous regime.
All of America’s allies are playing this Obiden game. Great Britain, Canada, Germany, etc, etc, etc….
