Election Interference: Chuck Schumer Demands New Vote in Israel to Oust Netanyahu
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) issued an extraordinary demand Thursday for Israel to hold new elections aimed at ousting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom the Biden administration and Democrats dislike.
Schumer, the highest-ranking Jewish official in the U.S., said in remarks on the Senate floor that “the Netanyahu coalition no longer fits the needs of Israel after Oct. 7.”
“The world has changed — radically — since then, and the Israeli people are being stifled right now by a governing vision that is stuck in the past,” Schumer said in what was billed as a major address by the Democratic leader from New York.

He's trying to get votes in Michigan for the Democrats in November.
Pandering to the 200,000 Muslims that live there to get their vote.
He's also interfering in Israels election process, which is illegal both here and there.
Speaking to Democracy Now, Mr Chomsky added: “Israeli intervention in US elections vastly overwhelms anything the Russians may have done, I mean, even to the point where the prime minister of Israel, Netanyahu, goes directly to Congress, without even informing the president, and speaks to Congress, with overwhelming applause, to try to undermine the president’s policies - what happened with Obama and Netanyahu in 2015.”

If you don't think that Israel isn't doing this to not just us but around the world.

Has anyone on the left ever demanded the return of innocent hostages? You know, the actual war crime that started this and hasn't ended? Of course not. Spineless cretins, every last one of them.

Then you are naive.
