Halie Soifer, CEO of the Jewish Democratic Council of America, has expressed strong support for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s recent speech, in which he called for elections in Israel to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Soifer tweeted that Schumer “did something big” by speaking out, stating that his words reflect the thoughts of the “overwhelming majority of American Jews” who are concerned about Israel’s future as a secure, Jewish, and democratic state. She praised Schumer for demonstrating “moral clarity, conviction, and leadership” and expressed her admiration with the Hebrew phrase “Yasher koach.”

We should have an election to oust Chuckster
It is embarrassing to call Schumer a Jew, since he espouses policies that are clearly dangerous for Israel. So now we have another specimen of evil claiming to be a Jew. Why did YWN feel there was any benefit to publishing this garbage?
@thelittleIknow
Just because someone has a different opinion than you, or even if he really is anti-israel does not make him not a jew.
Being jewish has nothing to do with supporting Israel.
That’s modern “zionism”
You can be a Jew without modern “zionism”
schumer is a sniveling coward who receives big bucks from barack hussein obama for such pronouncements!!
The lunatics all come out of the woodwork.
The little I know:
The Zionists espouse policies and have always acted in ways that are dangerous to Jews, yet you see everywhere that their “State” is referred to as the “Jewish” State. That’s no problem, but calling him Jewish is a problem despite that he actually is Jewish?
I agree Bibi should be voted out because he didn’t take security seriously warnings before simchas Torah. There are plenty of fine more right wing frum Jews in government who can fill the spot.
Shomer his own personal power with Elhan Omar and Rashid Talib and Lapid.
Shame
