You don’t see this as a crafty dig at Netanyahu? Quit spraying crap all over the place, Bibi, and leaving us to clean up the mess? Maybe?

With the danger of seeming obsessive, did you catch this one? http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1157512.html

Its the new outreach plan that aims to make rabbis Israeli ambassadors and make the synagogues into Israeli embassys. Quoting Edelstein, the Israeli minister of explanation: “All or nearly all Jewish communities in Europe and elsewhere understand they are inextricably bound together with Israel”.

Funny that, because the jews of Oslo have been fighting for at least 10 years to not get associated with the state of Israel.

That’s how I read it.

fnord, that is actually some super-heavy shit. I encourage folks to click on that link.

HA. That didn’t occur to me, but very clever.

Interesting. But Schumer has voted for whatever Israel wants for years. He is more than willing to keep pushing for Israel’s agenda…a military confrontation with Iran.

Schumer was proud that he had been instrumental in taking out Charles Freeman. Schumer voted for the Iraq war resolution, voted for Mukasey

Charles Freeman as Obama’s Director of the NIC:

Yesterday, Schumer proudly boasted of the role he played in torpedoing the Freeman nomination on the ground that Freeman made “statements against Israel” that Schumer deemed to be “way over the top.” Along those same lines, Politico’s Ben Smith baselessly granted anonymity to someone Smith described as “an official at a major Jewish organization,” who hid behind his anonymity and thundered: “What [the failure of the Freeman nomination] showed is that there’s no place for that kind of hostility to America’s closest friend and most loyal ally.” And Antony Loewenstein notes that neocon fanatic Daniel Pipes is sending out mass emails crediting indicted AIPAC official/espionage suspect Steven Rosen with being the catalyst of the anti-Freeman

Chuck Schumer represents nothing other than the rotted ways of Washington. He embodies everything that is broken and sleazy about our political system. That’s the faction he speaks for most. As The Atlantic’s James Fallows wrote last night:

I do not know Freeman and had never paid attention to him before this controversy. But it turns out that nearly twenty people I know well enough to respect and trust have themselves known and worked with Freeman. Every one of them supported his nomination. And — as it is unfortunately relevant to point out in these circumstances — most of them are Jewish.

We’ll all think about this episode for a while.

The Agenda of Chuck Schumer
http://www.salon.com/news/opinion/glenn_greenwald/2009/03/11/schumer

Schumer is on board with Israel no matter what they do. Schumer does not give a rats ass if Israel continues to undermine U.S. National Security. Schumer is an Israeli firster. Period.

Schumer Says Bolton Won’t Face Filibuster
By RUSSELL BERMAN, Staff Reporter of the Sun | July 31, 2006

A Democratic filibuster of John Bolton’s nomination as United Nations ambassador is “unlikely,” Senator Schumer said yesterday.

Mr. Schumer supported an effort last year to block Mr. Bolton’s nomination from gaining a full Senate vote, but he confirmed that he is considering changing his position.

New York’s senior senator said he was weighing Mr. Bolton’s backing of Israel against his unwillingness to work with other countries at the United Nations. “There’s a good part of Bolton. He’s been a staunch and very good defender of Israel,” Mr. Schumer said on CNN’s “Late Edition.” “There’s a bad part of Bolton. He seems to have a ‘go it alone’ attitude at a time when we need the nations of the world on our side. We’ve seen that in Iran and North Korea.”

Just a crafty way to trip folks up making them think Schumer is actually willing to criticize Israel’s continued and illegal actions

Schumer pushing for a war with Iran. Why do progressives support Schumer? Have never been able to figure that one out.

Comparing a delay in confronting Iran’s nuclear program with the WWII-era appeasement of Adolf Hitler, Schumer said there was no choice but to move forward with new Iran sanctions now.

“Diplomatic efforts have failed. We are too close (to a nuclear Iran) to simply continue those efforts,” said Schumer. “The U.S. must hit Iran first, on our own, with unilateral sanctions, no matter what the other nations of the world do. And we cannot wait, we must push those sanctions now … we cannot afford to wait for Russia or China.”

Schumer’s comments showed some daylight between the New York senator and the administration on the issue of banning the export of petroleum products to Iran. Schumer is for it, but administration officials say they want to focus on sanctions that target the regime, not the population.
