Sen. Chuck Schumer, a longtime supporter of Israel, endorsed Abdul El-Sayed, a Michigan Senate candidate who has taken an anti-Israel stance. El-Sayed recently called on Americans to "realize that Israel is not our friend" and accused the Israeli military of committing war crimes and genocide, false claims according to critics. Obama, who campaigned for El-Sayed, previously criticized Israel during his presidency with similar rhetoric. The endorsement marks a significant shift within the Democratic Party, which has increasingly moved toward an anti-Israel position since Obama's administration, evident in his controversial 2015 Iran nuclear deal that lifted sanctions on Iran, allowing it to potentially develop nuclear weapons. This move by Schumer highlights how major figures in the party are aligning with candidates who take hardline stances against Israel despite their past support for the country.
a sickening bid to excuse anti-Israel terrorism that parallels El-Sayed’s “hurt people hurt people” excuse for attempted slaughter at a Jewish day school in Michigan.
But Sen. Chuck Schumer, who opposed that deal, is also backing El-Sayed; a Chuck-aligned super PAC is sending $30 million to his campaign.
Anti-Israel, anti-West lunacy is now mainstream in the Democratic Party, to the point where Schumer, who for decades proclaimed himself Israel’s protector in Congress, is willing to sell out the Jewish state to an unabashed Israel-hater so Dems can hold one Senate seat.
It’s positively perverse: Israel is not America’s enemy; just the opposite — it’s one of our most important allies, sharing absolutely vital intelligence that protects our interests throughout the region.
Across the West, a vast propaganda campaign assailed Israel for its post-Oct. 7 self-defense, piling on the “war crimes” and “genocide” lies — which much of the Democratic Party soon parroted.
