Council Member James F. Gennaro responds to Schumer’s Israel Remarks
Dear Editor:
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer read straight from the Hamas playbook today (3/14) from the floor of the Senate, proclaiming that he sees Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as an “obstacle to peace” in the country’s war with Hamas, and said it was time for the country to hold new elections. How dare he? Further, he stated, “Prime Minister Netanyahu has lost his way by allowing his political survival to take precedence over the best interests of Israel.” He also said, “Were Netanyahu to remain in power, it would jeopardize global support for Israel at a critical juncture,” and “Israel cannot survive if it becomes a pariah,” and he said Israel needs to make “some serious course corrections,” blah, blah, blah. You get the idea…
