Whether Gaza or the West Bank: It was never about freeing the hostages, it was never about Hamas, it was always only about expanding the occupied territories and the associated ethnic cleansing and genocide. Israel has been pursuing this program since the NAKBA 1947-49, when 700,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes and 50,000 were killed. It requires the intervention of all forces to stop this injustice. Netanyahu, Smotrich and Ben-Gvir belongs to prison and before that ICC.

Unfortunately, the Netanyahu trajectory, which is the legitimately elected route of the citizens of Israel, is the only practical solution that will subdue the Palestinians enough to keep quiet. Keep quiet, but never make peace. Only divine intervention can grant peace. It is a sad, horrifying, and scary reality that we live in.

[@marybranning8392]

I disagree that the media didn't cover Hamas imbedding themselves in palestinian populations. We all heard that and know it. It does not justify carpetbombing gaza or the US enabling that destruction. Hamas committed acts of terrorism on Oct. 7, I don't know anyone who doesn't condemn them for it. Historical offenses are one thing but IIsrael violently took land in the 1940's from palestinians who were simply born in the region. That is also a historical offense. Since, Israel has continuously offended non Israeli residents in the region. Do jews have a right to their own state if they take it violently? Well, it's done, but I understand the displaced and killed people and their descendants' bitterness. The horror goes back and forth. Who's innocent? Israel needs to change its policies and tactics. This is a matter of humanity and compassion. Violence begets violence. Oppression begets belligerence. I'm glad to hear there are so many jews who want a solution. But jews in Israel have committed crimes against humans, too. It would ve nice to hear jews admit this, atone for it, and change their behavior. Can we hear and see this? A little humility goes a long way. Israelis are not innocent, either.

NOTHING just started on Oct. 7th. Over the last decades, 700,000 illegal Orthodox settlers have invaded the West Bank and taken over land, water rights, and homes in defiance of international law.

Trump 2024 !!!

[@jonking00]

Your historical memory is in the shop. You conveniently don't recall that Bibi had the chutzpah to address Congress in 2015, lobbying against Obama's support for the Iran nuclear deal. It was a one-sided PR move supported by the GOP and bitterly resented by the Dems. I was as offended as you pretend to be.

[@johndietz3735]

I wonder what Mark Levin's response will be?

[@paveclaw3865]

was it ever about the hostages? they would have rescued them by now

[@user-od7ym3df5m]

Remove schumer now.

[@elcid4097]

When did he called for new elections in Gaza?

[@leehogan1381]

In this speech. Did you listen?

[@elcid4097]

@@leehogan1381 yes, he was angry, yelling and lying then mumble and stumble like always at the end. At least he called the murderer of Laiken Riley an illegal but call her Lincoln.

[@LV-yp8bd]

Trump 2024 !!!

[@kpokpojiji]

He did in the speech. Too much bias stuck in your ears for you to hear?

[@RobertPaulsen-gk8qc]

This would not be the first time the United States has prompted a regime change for a country in the Middle East.

[@justmyopinion5533]

If he only worked so hard to fix our country, it would be a miracle. Focus on America because you're losing this country and what she stands for.

[@johnshepard9894]

It makes me happy to see so many in the comment section who just don't fall for the BS anymore. 😊

[@davidbate8523]

BullS??? this is Dinosaur crap

[@bryonpope4622]

Maybe there should be new elections in his congressional district. He needs to stay in his lane and worry about his constituents instead of meddling in global affairs.

[@branjohnson3905]

HE HAS NEVER CARED FOR OTHERS

[@sharonharris9782]

Nothing wring with saying this

[@XiJinpingXiThePooh]

We (taxpayers) give Israel $3 Billion annually. So as our welfare state, yeah, we get a say!

[@yanceyh.1850]

Why are you triggered ? What's wrong ? LOL !

[@jimmylieb5225]

Yes!! Senator Schumer!!🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@amirbens2278]

When nonsense is represented in the congress

Shoebox thinks he's god? Not in my lifetime. Time ta kick the box out?

[@allihatw]

Time for you to retire there guy.

[@user-rd2tl9rs6t]

Why US giving Bombs weapons Fighter jets artilleries ,missiles with Billions Dollar War funding...

[@dakiblabla]

Power speaking truth to power. We've not had that in a long while.

[@shilobutton5485]

Why are we interfering in their elections at all?

[@XiJinpingXiThePooh]

Defund Israel then stop taking our money then we won’t interfere

[@Anistasia5]

How about you secure lasting peace and prosperity in your own country. Americans are not the world’s police and half this country is sick of being just that financially. There’s about to be real civil discourse here. Besides you could care less about those peoples lives, they are just kickbacks for you in your pocket.

[@mauricewilliams4162]

Shumer I am so disappointed in you. Israel is a terrorist. Country Palestinians. Are been killed and brutalized from America. And England. Give the Palestine. To the ISRAELI. NETANYAHU. ISVAVSAVAGE.

[@georgenassa2564]

Hon. Chuck has once again demonstrated true leadership, with the showing of love on both sides of the fence. Why he don't run as president of the United States of America. He has all the skills necessary and unlike some the qualifications as well.

[@huntersmith8153]

Can we just forget Israel is on earth and stop caring about that place

[@abdulkkhan5095]

God loves everyone, everywhere.

[@thedeadliestname]

Amy Schumer’s uncle is excited about the beachfront property he just purchased

[@branjohnson3905]

right!!!

[@verenafraser]

I needed a bit of humour, even if it was dark, during this insanely rabid Zionist's speech

[@oktalkspodcast]

Sane, humane, solutions-oriented. This is what leadership looks like.

[@snuffeldjuret]

Schumer talks as if Netanyahu is the president...

[@aaroncostello8812]

If Gaza wasn't a Palestinian state...then what was it? Enough of this 'two state solution' nonsense. The West can't want for the Palestinians something they don't want for themselves.

[@robertbaker6950]

Exactly Biden and his friends are the only ones pushing any of this and they want it right now. So the question is why? What do they have to get out of this? It’s not like the one side is not tied in to the people that openly call for the death of America and refer to us as the big satan. But are so called friends we are making it look like we will turn on them in a heartbeat. What do they want Afghanistan 2.0

[@user-sk2qg6lm1u]

How about stop financing the genocide in Gaza and war in Ukraine. How about help all people that need help here in the United States with all the billions 💵 of tax money government is sending. If they want to keep sending money they can do it from their pockets not from our tax money.

[@netscrooge]

Thanks for saying that. I agree.
