Netanyahu to Chuck Schumer: Drop Dead

As you probably know, Israel is on the verge of wiping Hamas off the face of the map, if I can use Hamas' words to describe their own peril.

As Israel is about to enter Hamas' last redoubt, Rafah, and exterminate these terror-roaches once and for all, the Marxist transnationalists are in a frenzy to pressure Israel to spare Hamas and keep the terrorist government in place.

Chuck Schumer joined this frenzy last week, demanding that Israel -- an independent country, in case you didn't know -- hold snap elections so that Netanyahu can be voted out of office and Hamas saved for future use by the Marxist transnationalist Regime.

Professor William Jacobsen rails against Schumer's vile terrorist protection policy. And Schumer is adopting a pro-terrorist policy to appease the pro-terrorists "newcomer" voters of the Democrat Party.

It's disgusting what he did. It's pandering. It's pandering to the anti-Israel Democratic base, the pro-Hamas vote in Michigan. It is the worst thing he could possibly have done because he's trying to divide the Jewish community. He knows there's in the American Jewish community, which is overwhelmingly liberal, he knows there's some dislike for Netanyahu. And what he's trying to do, he's trying to separate Israel and Netanyahu, which has been Biden administration policy. I wrote about this about two weeks ago, that's where they're going to distinguish. 'Well, we hate Netanyahu, but we love Israel.' Well, they're in the middle of a war, okay?

And why do they hate Netanyahu so much right now? It's because he's refusing to capitulate to the American President and the American Secretary of State who want Hamas to survive. They do. You can't read their actions any other way.

Hamas now exists only in Rafa, four battalions by all counts, which is thousands of Hamas fighters. That's where the leadership is. That's where the hostages are. And all of American policy for the last two to three weeks, maybe month, has been to try to bully Israel into not finishing off Hamas. And now Chuck Schumer steps in and picks up that cudgel and he hits Netanyahu over the head. And why is he hitting net over the head? Is because he's been too uncompromising.

I think there's going to be a huge, there is a huge backlash to this. I think what Schumer did is disgraceful. He's trying to walk it back.

Did Schumer try to walk it back? Sort of, yes, he did attempt to soften his demand for regime change in an allied nation.

Now he's saying he's not necessarily saying that there should be a regime change... just that Israel hold a snap election so that there can be a regime change, or at least a "discussion" about a regime change:

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

The U.S. cannot dictate the outcome of an election.

That is for the Israeli public to decide.

As a democracy, Israel has the right to choose its own leaders.

But the important thing is that Israelis are given a choice.

There needs to be a fresh debate about the future.

Back to William Jacobsen:

Too late, Chuck, you will not walk it back. Your legacy will be that you betrayed not just the Jewish people, but you betrayed Western civilization and your own country with these comments at a critical moment in history. Because let's face it, the people Israel is fighting in Gaza and elsewhere are enemies of the United States. They are enemies of Western civilization.

What they did on October 7th, they would do to us in a heartbeat if they could. And Chuck Schumer is fighting to prevent them from being destroyed. It's disgraceful. He will never live this down.

Audio of Jacobsen's statement at the link. He delivered this rant on the Tony Katz radio show.

Netanyahu has likewise counter-attacked the pro-Hamas senator, noting that Israel is on the verge of achieving its war aims -- and thus bringing about the peace that Schumer claims to want -- but Schumer wants Hamas' war on Jewish civilians to go on for another 1000 years.

As we have reported, Democrats have been throwing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu under the bus. They seem to be so desperate to appeal to the folks on the left in their party that they've lost the plot when it comes to Israel. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) called for regime change against Netanyahu. Joe Biden called it a "good" speech, that Netanyahu was hurting more than helping, and there were reports that his White House was trying to force Netanyahu out. Then, on Sunday, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) also talked smack against him, claiming that he'd interfered in our elections in a bizarre attack when, indeed, it was the Obama administration that had interfered in Israeli elections against Netanyahu.

But Netanyahu had a few things to say about the situation and the Democrats in response during an interview with Pete Hegseth on "Fox and Friends."

He explained that Israel wasn't going to back off on going into Rafah and that the only thing that has made Hamas release hostages is continued military pressure. He said that they had destroyed 19 of Hamas' 24 battalions and that asking them not to go into Rafah right now (something Biden said he was against and was a "red line" for him) was like telling the allies during World War II not to go into Berlin. "That's ridiculous," Netanyahu said, saying it would allow Hamas to repeat their attacks on his country.

He said they had already effectively had a "two-state solution" with Gaza, and Hamas used that to launch the attack on Israel on Oct. 7, that to give them such a state after that attack would be the "greatest reward for terrorism in history." He also noted that they voted 99 to 9 against the imposition of a two-state solution on Israel, noting that the vast majority of the Israeli public was against it and in support of going into Rafah.

Netanyahu sort of had a little smile on his face when Hegseth brought up the question of what Schumer and Biden had said. Then, he completely took down Schumer.

I think Schumer's statements are wholly inappropriate. I think we're not a banana republic. The people of Israel will choose when they'll have elections, who they elect, and it's not something that will be foisted upon us. It's wrong to try to replace the elected leaders of a sister democracy and a staunch American ally at any time, but especially during the time of war.

Just imagine that, after 9/11, and when you're in the midst of fighting Al Qaeda, and winning. People would say, some Israeli would say, "Oh, the right thing to do is not to have new elections in America or have President Bush resign." It's inappropriate. Shouldn't have been said. It's wrong."

In fairness to Schumer and his fellow Democrats -- they did call for Bush to be impeached for being too anti-Al-Qadea.

In further news, the Regime propaganda world media attempted to wishcast a ceasefire into existence by claiming Hamas had agreed to a "framework" for a ceasefire. Hamas then contradicted the propaganda media and said no, we haven't agreed to any ceasefire or any framework to a ceasefire.

This represents yet another expression of progressives' "translation" of terrorist statements, to ventriloquize progressive dream statements into the mouths of terrorists. Osama bin Ladin says he will kill the Jew and the infidel wherever he finds them; the leftwing propaganda Regime media reports "Osama bin Ladin says he will never stop fighting for a Single Payer health insurance system."

And in another disgusting example of the Marxist transnationalists saving Hamas -- Qatar offered to expel the Hamas terror leaders that they are sheltering/protecting from Israeli terror-hunters as well as any other nations who might want to bring them up on charges.

Incredibly, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said "no" -- you keep on providing safe haven to the Terror Lords. We want them to be safe!

From the Times of Israel:

WASHINGTON -- Qatar's Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani proposed expeling Hamas's leaders from Doha during a meeting with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken days after the terror group's October 7 onslaught, two officials familiar with the matter told The Times of Israel on Wednesday.

Thani... then asked whether it was time for the US to ask Qatar to expel the Hamas's leaders, the two officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

...

When Blinken began his own remarks, he didn't respond directly to the emir's proposal but did go on to say that he thought it would be better for Qatar to use its contacts with Hamas -- through the office it allowed the terror group to establish in Doha in 2012 at Washington's behest -- to mediate between the Gaza war parties to secure a hostage deal, the officials recalled.

No don't kick out Hamas terrorist leaders, we're desperate to continue "negotiating" with them through back-channels. It's proven so effective in the past we must not do anything to disrupt this productive working relationship with Hamas terrorists.
