Chuck Schumer's Twisted Fear Tactics On Full Display During Israel Parade

Chuck Schumer is very nervous about the Democrats taking the Senate in many respects, I think, because if the Democrats do take the Senate, it's going to mean more people more determined to get rid of Chuck Schumer. And I think he's probably resolved to retire in 2028, but wants to be leader in the Senate, either the minority leader or the majority leader. I suspect he wants to be leader is more important than even minority or majority leader, which is horrifying, given the fact that his central ideology, it seems like we're at the very least one of the things that he holds most dear is his Zionism. And that is in direct opposition to an overwhelming majority of the base of the party he wants to lead. And he doesn't seem to care about that whatsoever, as that we're supposed to care about democracy. But you know, let's hang on to your leadership then. And I just want to remind people, that's not Emma speculating or conjecture. I mean, this is literally what he has said on multiple occasions that that is his primary job. To keep the left pro-Israel. And he's failed, unless there's some dramatic reversal. And we're all going to change our mind about Israel. Turn it around. Doesn't seem to be going in the right direction. And this idea that somehow they're going to deflect attention from what Israel has done to Palestinians in Gaza, to Palestinians in the West Bank, to the Lebanese, to the Iranian civilians, by pointing at Zohra Mamdani and saying like, how come you didn't come to this parade? Is so deluded. It is. And this is what I find really fascinating. These people, and by these people, I mean, these Zionists have deluded themselves so much. They have no idea where they are in terms of public opinion and where their fight is. They have a lot. They are so lost. And that's, I'm just looking at that as like a sort of like just a political analysis, nevermind a moral one. Here is Chuck Schumer. Is Smotrich in frame here? You know, the criminal, the far right terrorist that's overseeing the ethnic cleansing of the West Bank, was this when him and Chuck Schumer were arm and arm or was that another time in this horrible parade? The world, what Jews have known for millennia, that our security, go back, go back, go back, go back, because I just want to hear this incredible lie. This incredible lie. The Holocaust showed the world what Jews have known for millennia, that our security and our safety is never safe. As long as we lack a place of refuge, a homeland, to quote the great Irish writer, Conor Cruz O'Brien, anti-Semitism is a light sleeper. And now we are seeing an ugly resurgence of anti-Semitism across the world, driven by the same lies and libels that have tormented the Jewish people for generations, except now they're transmitted at the speed of a fiber optic internet connection in 30 seconds. Lies are on your pocket phone. Can you pause it? I'm sorry. I just want to take this in piecemeal. First of all, we could play that drop of him saying the social media, Chuck Schumer's saying. But to quote an Irish writer there, when we know why Ireland and the Irish government and the Irish people have had historic solidarity with Palestine, is particularly egregious to me, given that they're both victims of the British colonial project. And when he says that, he's obscuring that very reality and saying that that was what the lesson from the Holocaust was, that Jews had to have an ethnostate or else they would always be under threat from anti-Semitism, as opposed to what the actual lessons of the Israeli settler colonial project is and what Zionism is, which is that it's an outgrowth of Western imperialism. Lies are on your pocket phone. That's why a Jewish state is more important than ever. Anti-Semitism isn't going away. It always lingers, stalks in the shadows, waiting for the right conditions for millennia, for millennia. Let them hear that loud and clear. The Jewish people have yearned for a state of Israel whilst experiencing the constant anxiety of knowing the place where they lived could violently expel them at any moment has happened again and again. We cannot, we must not go back to that era. I believe in the state of Israel. I support the state. There is absolutely no logic that he is offering on how the existence of Israel makes Jews more safe. Undoubtedly, there are countries where Jews are less safe than others, but I am sitting in the country where Jews are the safest in the world. And to the extent that they are less safe here, it is a function of Israel. There is not, he has not offered a single, it is just taken as fact. And we now know that as much as there has been a symbolic and religious yearning for a third temple in Jerusalem, there have been many, many Jews through the millennia in which we were exiled from Jerusalem 2,000 some odd years ago who have been determined and are proud of those 2,000 years. But we see Israel founded by Jews who were embarrassed by the 2,000 years in exile as indicated by them changing their names, then spitting on their tradition and their history. And we know that there were movements concurrent with Zionism, Molly Crabapple's book, I can't encourage this enough, Where We Live Is Our Home, that there were organized Jews who thought Zionism was a mistake, an outrage, an offense. There were Jews at the time of the founding of Israel, prior to the founding of Israel, Albert Einstein, Hannah Arendt, who were clear that what may have started as some type of broad notion of a more peaceful coexistence in Palestine was turning into a fascist movement. There is just no evidence whatsoever. It has been just taken, and certainly I as a child was indoctrinated into this belief that the very existence of Israel protected me. And there's no evidence of that. I mean, you could argue, and I think we should argue, that there's evidence that it is the opposite, that Israel and its actions are fomenting anti-Semitism and a lack of safety for Jews here. But that's a convenient narrative for Zionists. It's a, what, self-licking ice cream cone, you could say, when you constantly talk about how the state of Israel is necessary because of the anti-Semitism in America, and that it's necessary because Jews are going to need to flee to a different part of the world because of that anti-Semitism. Well, the more anti-Semitism that is engendered, the more convenient your narrative is. And that's not to say that Chuck Schumer wants more anti-Semitism in America, but I do think that it's more secondary, combating it is secondary to his overall project of Zionism. And if you look at what the ADL has compiled and what constitutes Zionism, I mean, excuse me, anti-Semitism, it sure does look like they want there to be more than exists here. And let's also be clear, the anti-Semitism my great-grandfather was subjected to was structural, could not buy insurance, could not go to law school, could not go to higher education, could not join the country club, could not, you know, go to certain restaurants, et cetera, et cetera. That anti-Semitism does not exist anymore. I mean, he's saying that in New York City, like the idea that Jews in Israel are more safe than the hundreds of thousands of Jews in New York City is, I mean, I think there's a million Jewish people in the state of New York, I'm not sure exactly how that's proportioned in the city, is an absolutely absurd claim. The reality is that New York City, the city that Chuck Schumer lives in, at least part-time, is much safer for Jews because... A million Jews live in New York City. There you go, because of multiculturalism. It's the same argument that we make over and over again about why Israel's apartheid state is an outrage in so many different ways. But if your only priority is Jewish safety and that is the only issue that you care about, do you earnestly believe that the Jews that are in Israel right now hiding from Iranian missiles or the Jews that were killed on October 7th, that they are in a safer place than the Jews in New York City who live amongst Arab and Muslim people, who live amongst people of different faiths? The reality is that it's not just liberals, or I would say leftists, that believe that when you live amongst other people and there isn't segregation, that it's just because we want multiculturalism to act like we're better people than you. No, it's because it's actually a much safer way to construct a society, because you are able to understand one another and there's less factionalization and hatred. But Chuck Schumer speaks about, by the way, the rest of the American population in this almost paranoid way, that if there weren't the state of Israel, that all of these people... He's supposed to be the leader of the Democrats in the Senate, and he has a fundamentally paranoid and psychotic view of how the American people would respond to us having a different policy towards the state of Israel. It's insane. The Jews in Israel, all you hear from them is how difficult it is because they're in the bomb shelters all the time. Well, guess what? I'm not in a bomb shelter in New York, and there's as many Muslims in this city as there are Jews. Maybe more. Maybe half a million more. But when he says also the narcissism of how we live under constant anxiety, and we need Israel because of the constant anxiety the Jews in America, he says, face, that they could be violently expelled at any moment. By the way, that's the Palestinians. They're just talking about the Nakba and the ongoing ethnic cleansing. But the narcissism of it and the paranoia of it is shocking to me. And when you really break it down to brass tacks, what he's saying is, we need to subjugate this population via ethnic cleansing and genocide so Jews, in his words, can have essentially an escape hatch, a second home, if you will, in the land that we've taken from the Palestinians. And my anxiety about that is more important than the lives of millions of Palestinians. I mean, it's the type of anxiety you saw in the American South during Jim Crow that led to lynchings. It's the type you saw in South Africa. It's the same thing. It's white fear.
