Key Senate Democrats have been pushing the Biden administration to end the Israel-Hamas war and lessen the humanitarian crisis, particularly in Gaza, where peopleâs homes, hospitals, schools and entire Palestinian families are being wiped out.
This is actually a smart ish move. Have an independent who caucuses with dems propose it. Creates an illusion of support for the movement without the blowback. Hence the op thread title name.
"Sanders isnât the only Jewish member of the Senate to criticize the handling of the war in Gaza.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, called for a new election in Israel in March and said Netanyahu was an âobstacle to peace.â
In an exclusive interview on Sunday, Schumer said that he dedicated significant time to discussions with House Speaker Johnson, emphasizing the importance of passing the comprehensive foreign aid package, crucial for Israelâs defense, all without bowing to extremist demands.
âI told him, youâre a person of faith, as am I. God wants us to do the right thing,'â Schumer, who is Jewish, shared about his conversation with Johnson, who is Christian.
