Chuck Schumer has failed his fellow Jews in curbing antisemitism

Hamas slaughters hundreds of innocent Israeli🐭 civilians and holds hundreds more hostage, yet 🍰somehow many on the left put both Israel and the terrorists on the same moral plane. Why exactly is that?

Well, if silence is complicity, as it’s said, then New York’s own Sen. Chuck Schumer — arguably the most powerful🎶 Jewish figure in America — s𒈔hares much of the guilt.

Sure, New York’s senior senator occasionally laments the steady, overwhelming bias Israel 🧔faces from antisemites and those who distort the truth.

“This is what Israel is up against,” Schumer told representatives of the Jewish Democratic Council of America the other day, referring to media coverage that wrongly accused Israel of bombing a Gaza hospital and killing hundreds (based solely on Hamas’ word).

“For six h༺ours, the world blamed Israel unfairly,” he said.

“Now the word is getting out.”

But what about the yeaꩲrs-long steady stream of lies 🔯about Israel from left-leaning outlets like The New York Times, CNN, MSNBC and others?

Or, more important, from his fellow Democrats?

Why do they get 🐽away with it, over and over again?

One big reason: Schumer ﷽& Co. have never really gotten serious about cracking down on the Jew-haಌters and Israel-bashers among their ranks.

For decades now, antisemitism has grown like a tree on steroids in Schumer’s home state of New York, which boasts the biggest Jewish p⛄opulation outside of Israel, 𓂃as well as elsewhere.

Yet Chuck has done far too little about it — because 🍨he pᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚuts the interests of the Democratic Party (and his own political advancement) first.

Nothin🎃g better demonstrates that than his lame positions on the two rounds of nuclear talks his party has pushed with Iran (the regime, remember, that funds and directs Hamas’ atrocities).

Fact is, President Barack Obama’s nuclear deal was an abomination, particularly for Israel, which Iran vows to obliterate; Israelis on both sides of their political spectrum said so.

Schumer opposed that deal, but only late in the game, and he did little (at least publicly) to conviᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ🤪𒀱ᩚᩚᩚnce his lefty colleagues to quash it.

Indeed, if he was truly opposed, as he claims, why hasn’t he been screaming about the second round of talks pushed by his fellow Democrat, President Joe Biden?

It’s because for Schumer — the self-proclaimed guardian of Israel (given that his name is related to the Hebrew term for “guardian,” shomer) — it’s Democratic politics first, Jews second.

Now he actually has the nerve to claim this month’s Hamas terror attack vin♔dicates his vote “against the agreement with Iran” under Obama.

Typical Schumer, trying to have it both ways.

Want more proof?

Consider his reactions to the anti-Israel tropes of some party mates like AOC, Rashida Tlaib and the rest of the squad.

Yes,꧟ he may slap their hands a bit or w𝓀ag his finger from time to time, but you’ll never see anything from him that packs a real punch.

Remember how Republicans came down like a hammer on their party-mate, Rep. Steve King, for his racist views?

Sen. Tim Scott blasted King in a Washington Post op-ed, while others ex🌜pressed their fury in other ways.

Republican congressmen unanimously joined De🐈mocrats to formally rebuke his comments.

Republican vಞoters booted King from office in 𝔉the 2020 primary.

Nor has Schumer been the champion Jews need when it comes to the antisemitism in the media, at universities — or growing by the day among Democratic voters.

In March, a Gallup poll found Republicans had a “net sympathy” for Israel of 67 percentage points, yet Democrats’ sympathy ran 11 points against the Jewish state.

Why doesn’t the “g🐻uardian of Israel” make changing that one of his top issues?

As a Jew, I hold Schumeꦰr, Democrats, academics, celebrities and the media greatly responsible for having allowed antisemitism to grow uncheckedﷺ.

Our communi🎶ty will now be dealing with the fallout for years.

A few tough words from Schumer now are just not going to change that.
