Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell ripped into Senate Minority Leader Chuck “Shomer Yisroel” Schumer on Thursday after Schumer called for new elections in Israel to remove Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom Schumer described as an “obstacle to peace”.
Speaking on the Senate floor, McConnell said, “The Jewish state of Israel deserves an ally that acts like one. The people of Israel, at home and in captivity, deserve America’s support, and Israel’s unity government and security cabinet deserve the deference befitting a sovereign, democratic country.”
McConnell continued, “The primary obstacles to peace in Israel’s region are genocidal terrorists like Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad who slaughter innocent people, and corrupt leaders of the Palestinian Authority who have repeatedly rejected peace deals from multiple Israeli governments. Foreign observers who cannot keep these clear distinctions ought to refrain from weighing in. It is grotesque and hypocritical for Americans who hyperventilate about foreign interference in our own democracy to call for the removal of a democratically elected leader of Israel. This is unprecedented. We should not treat fellow democracies this way at all.”
McConnell added, “Make no mistake, the Democratic Party doesn’t have an anti-Bibi problem. It has an anti-Israel problem. Israel is not a colony of America whose leaders serve at the pleasure of the party in power in Washington. Only Israel’s citizens should have a say in who runs their government. This is the very definition of democracy and sovereignty. Either we respect their decisions or we disrespect their democracy.”

Kol hakavod to Sen. Mitch McConnell! Thank you for your forthright and courageous response to Israel’s detractors!
In an interview, former U.S. President Bill Clinton admitted that he tried to help former Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres defeat Benjamin Netanyahu during Israel’s elections in 1996, just a year after the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.
Clinton stated in an interview on Israel’s Channel 10 news that it “would be fair to say” that he assisted in the process to elect Shimon Peres, adding that “I tried to do it in a way that didn’t overtly involve me.”
Many Israelis want a new election but the DON’T want or need Schumer or any other U.S. politician telling them when or how to conduct their elections. Really dumb politics that only ends up helping Bibi style himself as a martyr standing up against the world to save Israel.
chuch schumer is an evil bafoon and literally good for nothing
Nobody calls for elections. The government would have to be dissolved. If that were to happen ALL the people in Israel would be in grave danger.
Every time I see a post like this, it makes my hatred for zionism grow more and stronger.
McConnell, and his ilk, are the main enemies of the Jewish people. They are like Nazis who want a complete Genocide of the Jews, on totally irrational terms.
These guys support zionism so that they can destroy ALL Jews.
Israel should disown these people and not take another dollar from them.
I would rather support Jihad (againstthe West) than McConnell’s electorate.
And you call them “Shomer Yisrael”?
How about “Gonev Nefesh mYisrael”

Really? He fought against the Brits to try to save the life of little Alta Fixsler HY”D by bringing her here.
Well said
“THE REAL SHOMER YISROEL?” Seriously?!? Have we fallen so far?
Anyone?? The truth?
As a lifelong Republican. McConnel and his Republican friends do NOT like Jews more. They DONT. Its fits their right wing beliefs better that Jews get smitten. He is NOT our friend. None of them are.
AND Y ON EARTH CANT A SENATOR SAY THE DAMNING TRUTH?! Only sending blind aid to Israel wo any questions?
WEVE EXHAUSTED THE ANTISEMITISM CARD. I
Bibi is running Israel to the ground. He’s ABSOLUTELY a murderer and wont stop until his thirst for revenge is exhausted.
The שנאת ישראל, Israel is causing to Jews around the world is unprecedented. And Israel is crying WOLF.
WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE
“Happy New Year”
Your comment is deeply offensive, false, and inappropriate. It is essential to recognize the harm that such language can cause and refrain from using it. Instead, let us focus on promoting respectful dialogue and fact-based reasoning.
The assertion that Senator McConnell and his supporters are ‘the main enemies of the Jewish people’ and comparable to Nazis is an egregious example of hyperbole and misguided reasoning. Such inflammatory rhetoric not only perpetuates harmful stereotypes but also undermines the legitimacy of the argument.
A thorough examination of the evidence reveals that Senator McConnell’s stance on Israel is rooted in a nuanced understanding of geopolitical realities and a commitment to democratic principles. His support for Israel does not imply a desire for genocide or destruction of the Jewish people, as is baselessly insinuated.
Furthermore, advocating for violence or Jihad against any group is morally reprehensible and antithetical to the principles of peaceful coexistence. It is crucial to engage in respectful and fact-based discourse, eschewing emotive appeals and fallacious reasoning. By doing so, we can foster a more informed and constructive dialogue on this complex issue.
Hakodosh Baruch Hu is the one and only SHOMER YISRAEL!!!!!!!!!!
