Senator Schumer Booed at NYC Israeli Parade
Senator Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) has been one of the more vocal voices speaking out against Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and the offensives undertaken by Israel against Hamas.
Schumer, like most other Dems, wants to see a ceasefire by Israel.
This weekend, he found out just how much American Jews are upset about the stance he has taken on this front.
BOO!
Schumer appeared at an Israeli parade this weekend, but he surely did not get the greeting he expected.
Schumer was introduced to the crowd, and he no sooner started to speak when the boos started from the crowd.
Many of the people at the front of the crowd were holding up signs that read, “Bring Them Home,” referring to the remaining hostages from the more than 1,000 Hamas killed, raped, and kidnapped at the start of the war.
There are still about 100 hostages missing, with roughly 40 believed to be dead.
Schumer told the crowd, “Bring them home. Bring them home. Bring them home,” but he could barely be heard over the boos.
The New York Democrat has been heavily criticized for failing to speak out against the numerous pro-Palestine campus protests that have been taking place all over the country.
This has even irked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who claimed that Schumer, who is Jewish, has “lost his way.”
Schumer is no longer a favorite of pro-Israel Jews in his home state, with some calling him a “traitor,” and who can blame them.
After all Hamas and Palestine have done to Israel, it is rather shocking that an American Jew would even consider asking Israel to stop this war before Hamas was completely annihilated, but that is exactly what Democrats and this administration are doing to Israel right now.
It has even gotten to the point that Biden was reportedly threatening to withhold military aid unless Netanyahu caved to Biden’s demand for a cease-fire.
