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. The primary obstacle 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, repeatedly rejected peace deals from multiple Israeli governments. And 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 the democratically elected leader of Israel. This is unprecedented. We should not treat fellow democracies this way, at all…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.”

By Carl Campanile
Former Sen. Joe Lieberman on Sunday blasted Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for calling for an election to replace Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, denouncing the New York Democrat’s remarks as “outrageous.”
“I thought the statement he made this week … was a mistake. I can’t ever remember anything like it,” Lieberman told host John Catsimatidis on the “Cats Roundtable” on WABC 770 AM.

Lieberman, 82, a former Democratic senator from Connecticut who later became an Independent before his 2013 retirement, was the first Jewish-American to appear on a presidential ticket when then- Vice President Al Gore tapped him as his running mate in 2000.
“For a US senator — let alone the majority leader; let alone the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in Washington — to tell Israel that it’s time to get rid of Netanyahu, that’s outrageous,” Lieberman said of Schumer.
In an extraordinary speech from the Senate floor on Thursday, Schumer, 73, called for a “new election” in Israel after the conclusion of the Jewish state’s war with Hamas, which has been raging in Gaza and the West Bank since Oct. 7.
“As a lifelong supporter of Israel, it’s become clear to me that the Netanyahu coalition no longer fits the needs of Israel after Oct. 7,” Schumer said, referring to the day of the Palestinian terror group Hamas’ slaughter in Israel, which sparked the war.

Schumer singled out Netanyahu and “radical” members of his security cabinet as an “obstacle” to peace.
His remarks joined a growing chorus of criticism emanating from the Democratic Party’s progressive wing, which blames Israel for not doing more to minimize civilian casualties among Palestinians as it tries to eradicate Hamas.
The top-ranking Senate Democrat’s words drew swift and strong rebukes from Republicans and Israeli leaders alike, including Netanyahu himself, who on Sunday fired back at Schumer for his “totally inappropriate” speech.
“I think what he said is totally inappropriate. It’s inappropriate for him to go to a sister democracy and try to replace the elected l eadership there,” Netanyahu said on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday.
“That’s something that [the] Israeli public does on its own. We’re not a banana republic.”

Lieberman added, “Can you imagine Sen. Schumer or anybody else in the US government saying to the Brits, ‘We don’t like your prime minister. It’s really time for you to dump him.’ Oh my god, there’d be outrage all around.
“It’s a bad precedent for us to tell a friend and ally, a democratic ally, ‘ Get rid of this government. we don’t like him,’ ” the former senator said.
President Biden on Friday praised Schumer, telling reporters he thought the Democrat made a “good speech” during an Oval Office meeting with Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar.
Biden is facing increased pressure at home over his handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict as presidential election season gets into full swing.

A poll published by the Wall Street Journal last week found that 60% of voters disapprove of how Biden has dealt with the war.
Donald Trump, asked about Schumer’s speech by Fox News “ MediaBuzz” host Howard Kurtz on Sunday, blasted the Democratic Party’s record on Israel.
“The Democrats are very bad for Israel,” said the former president, now the presumptive GOP nominee for the 2024 presidential contest. “Israel sticks with them. I guess Israel is loyal, maybe to a fault, because they stick with these guys. Biden is so bad for Israel.” +++
In Chapter 5 Seamus explains how the: "War On Farmers" began
and what it means.
In baseball it was Tinkers to Evers to Chance. Today it is
Rockefeller to Bill Gates Jr .to biotechnology .
The Rockefellers made fortunes from fertilizers but when
their patents ran out they shifted gears and began to use climate change and "overpopulation" as a ploy against
farmers, whose animals are allegedly polluting the
atmosphere. Then Gates Jr. and others began to buy up farm
land and manufacture food that tasted like meat etc.
Riots also started to break out in Holland and spread as
farmers realized their future and livelihood was at stake.
Start a questionable man made cause, find a victim, drive
the victims out of business, purchase their assets at a
sharp discount and subsequently produce alternatives. Then
convince government bureaucrats to link with The U.N that
you are engaged in saving the world and increase your
wealth not as a rogue but as a saviour.
The artificial food craze seems to have met consumer
resistance but the billionaire's have invested heavily and
I would not assume they will lose because they have the
U.N, WEF, Hollywood, 2030 and the mass Media on their
side. and Congress is always for sale at a price..
