I dunno guys. From where I’m sitting, the Democrats seem doggedly committed to handing Bibi his reelection campaign. If you make him the hero standing up to American pressure on Israel/waffling on Hamas, you give him his one chance for political survival. He’s a political dead man walking because October 7 happened on his watch, and because he’s generally distrusted and unliked by a large majority of the public. (That’s not an opinion. We have extensive polls.) The sooner Hamas is defeated, the sooner the election comes and the sooner Netanyahu almost certainly falls. (Again, every poll and study.) If Democrats don’t understand that, he’ll run circles around them.

Quite shocking for @SenSchumer to equate @IsraeliPM @netanyahu with Hamas as a reason there is no peace between Israel and the Palestinians. Quite shocking for Senator Schumer to call for the replacement of the government of Israel. This is about the most absurd set of comments I have heard, and as the former White House Special Envoy to the Middle East for nearly 3 years, trust me- I have heard A LOT! I have a few questions for Sen. Schumer: Are you Israeli? Do you or your kids or grandkids serve in the Israeli Army? Do you pay taxes in Israel? If not, who are you to try to change the Israeli government? Your remarks are the height of chutzpah. You can be frustrated about things. You may have different ideas about how to achieve peace. You may not like what some Israeli government officials say and you are free to criticize those. But most of your remarks were outrageous. Shame on you.
