Chuck Schumer calls for Netanyahu to be replaced

[Sojourner]

I think Schumer and company need to clean up their own backyard before bloviating about Israel's leadership and political affairs. They won't even secure our own southern border. Personally, I think if anyone needs to be replaced, it's Joe Biden, Schumer, and the rest of the career politicians oblivious to our present social, political and economic chaos.

I find it remarkable that he's calling for the replacement of the prime minister of an allied country, and a democracy at that. If he called for the replacement of the British PM, people would think Schumer had lost his marbles.

Countries he didn't call for elections in: Gaza, Syria, Iran, Russia, China... and best of all, the Palestinian Authority. Mahmoud Abbas was elected to a 4 year term in 2004. He hasn't held elections since. That's right, he's entering the 20th year of his 4 year term. Old Chuck seems oblivious to this fact.

Perhaps he could also suggest that Vladimir Putin be replaced. The recent election in Russia may not have been up to the standards expected by old Chuck.

Wouldn't replace dictators like Putin or Kim but really charge dictators like those two monsters of crimes against humanity for starters. Really Schumer and others like him you are right to the OP need to pull the speck out of their own eyes first and foremost. Like we do need to as believers.

Yep. A blatant stab in Israel's back - purely political gesture which will no doubt backfire.

Military aid does not buy public access to sovereign Israeli political structure.

Plus the fact that he's Jewish gives fodder for antisemites everywhere. "See even Jews are attacking Israel's government and handling of the war."

Of course they will, but is the fact that racist people will use your opinion to support their racist position a good reason to not express that opinion? Is it even a reason to criticize someone for expressing their opinion?

...

Didn't you and I just have a talk?

[Fenris]

The UN just passed a resolution calling for a case fire in Gaza. The US did not veto. Hamas got what they wanted without having to release a single hostage. This is a shameful sellout of a US ally.

So when does the UN send anything more than a strongly worded email.

Feckless freaks

The UN could put sanctions on Israel. The world would love an excuse to boycott the Jewish state.

The loons already do…

Changing gears?
Any of your folks on the ground have any significant worries about increased activity by the H&H brothers around Pesach?

(And I swear if I hear another quasi-Jewish messianic evangelical fear mongering about a new red heifer and the Sanhedrin (!) sacrificing the red header in order to cleanse the Temple Mount during the feast this year I may just boil them and the red heifer in their mothers milk…🤬)

Also talked to someone somewhere about current tension in Tel Aviv.  After the UN vote, Bibi cancelled a very high end confab set for later today.  Entire State Dept is freaking out… I guess they thought Bibi would knuckle under.  Diplomats and staff flying all over the place with their hair on fire…

No more than usual. My son is coming home for the holiday.

This year would be an auspicious time, no?

But is he going to continue the war? Or knuckle under for that?
