How is this real?

[Lynx122]

Chuck Schumer openly admits in an Interview that his job as a politician is to "keep the left pro Israel". And apparently suppress any sentiment that genocide could be bad.

I wonder why he was the one who voted for Trumps budget and is enabling him while Trump has any person arrested who says a word about Palestinians dying.

And then Schumer comes out in interviews and says they're fighting Trump in every way. He's not even representing American voters, he doesn't care about what Trump is doing.

American politics is really like some twisted alternate reality. If you look at it too long you'll go insane. Corruption is not anything new but politicians openly representing a different country and having this messed up world view, it's crazy. He thinks people who stand up for human rights are equally as dangerous to jews as people who hate jews for racial reasons. Once you go of the deep end like that you can justify anything in your own mind.

That would be a very sad state of affairs, and the party should be holding him responsible. If it's true.

As far as I can see, the only place it comes up is in an NYT interview, just one paragraph, one line:

"“My job,” he told me, “is to keep the left pro-Israel.”" https://archive.is/1n2Zg

I'd have to see a lot more context than that to be convinced he meant it was his only job or more important than representing his constituents. It's likely to be in the context of Israeli diplomatic relationships.

The preceding paragraph: "But he also warned that “the greatest danger to Israel, long-term, is if you lose half of America” — the liberal half. On one of Netanyahu’s previous visits to the United States, Schumer told me he urged the prime minister to “go on Rachel Maddow and not just Sean Hannity.” Netanyahu ignored the advice, and Schumer, in a Senate speech, later called for new elections to replace him, for which he remains “fiercely proud.” It showed Democrats, he said, that it’s possible to oppose Netanyahu while championing the Jewish state."

Single interest groups are very much in the driving seat of US government and does not serve the people of the country in the way the original founders meant it to be run.

@Lynx122
Thanks for the MHO

[sage2021]

The original founders would turn over in their graves if they knew the reality of our government right now.
All of the Democrats are trouble makers.

Not that many years ago we would hear about Bills going to Congress for approval or not. We don't hear that being said anymore because I don't think that they even meet together anymore.
Nope! They aren't doing the job they were hired to do, yet they are collecting their paychecks for their new job - complaining!!

Thank you for the MHO 🙂🧁🌷

Sure you're welcome :)

Unfortunately, Israel is our only ally in the Mideast. Everyone else in that area hates us.

Far be it for me to ever defend Chuck Schumer. but that was not a Nazi salute. that was a Right On salute.

It could be interpreted as a Nazi salute if his fingers were extended, but they weren't.

[Lynx122]

I never said he was doing a Nazi salute.

[Dargil]

No you did not. But that is what people did when Musk had his hand up. They posted pictures of other political figures doing the same thing and associated them with Nazism.

[OneViewpoint]

Chuckie Schumer is another old politician who needs to go. The guy is a constant embarrassment to Democrats as much as Mitch McConnell has been a constant embarrassment to this country. Schumer is looking out for himself, first, last, always.

I just cannot fathom how Jewish people could be in favor of group that wants to kill all Jews. I know many Jewish people and they are all pro Israel. I suppose that since they are all older and all work for a living they have a different view of the world.

[goaded]

Simple. They're not. They are simply not in favour of killing innocent people, or committing genocide. They want the killing to stop, including most Israelis. Not all Jews are Israelis, not all Israelis support the Israeli government.

"Polls show a majority of Israelis are against the end of the ceasefire and want negotiations to continue. Many feel this return to war is a betrayal and that Netanyahu and his government are forsaking the remaining hostages, leaving them to die in Gaza. Israelis are also protesting what they say is a threat to their democracy, as Netanyahu has renewed his push for overhauling the country's judicial system."

@goaded when you let terrorists set up headquarters in your hospitals and schools you are complicit.

[goaded]

Governments and armed terrorists tend to get to do whatever they want. There hasn't been an election in Gaza for ages. Not all Jews are Israelis, not all Israelis support the Israeli government.

"Polls show a majority of Israelis are against the end of the ceasefire..."

[exitseven]

@goaded If terrorists wanted to set up shop in my country I would have something to say about it and I am sure that many others would as well.

[goaded]

How about if war criminals and foreign agents are running your country?

[exitseven]

@goaded the same.

[goaded]

Why aren't you, then? Trump, Musk, and his cabinet are breaking laws left, right, and centre. Just the Signal chat broke two laws and admitted to breaking another.

[In_Trance]

The whole world thinks that Israel is occupying Gaza.
The truth is Israel occupies the whole world except Gaza

[AviatorTom]

Schumer is Jewish. Of course, he will support Israel.

[Jamie05rhs]

He's a hero. For once he does something right. God bless him.

Chuck is not long for "leadership"
