Schumer Nadler & Goldman Against Israel and are Stooges for Hamas "They Have Blood on their Hands!"
Lenin called those who work against their own people’s best interests in support of their enemies “helpful idiots.” In a time when Israel faces a battle for survival, and Diaspora Jews are under attack like never before spineless Jewish politicians continue to harm Israel.
This is a war, and Jews are dying. This is not a test run. Jewish elected officials must stand up for their people. Some are failing miserably, choosing political convenience over their Jewish identity. The worst of course is Bernie Sanders, although Anthony Blinken isn’t far behind.
Recently, Jews in New York rallied outside Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s office calling him a traitor, and urging him to resign for “backstabbing” Israel and staying silent as antisemitism rages across college campuses. This after Schumer praised President Biden’s decision to withhold weapons for Israel’s invasion of Rafah.
Similarly, Congressman Dan Goldman and his family have repeatedly been verbally attacked – rightfully so – in discussion even now for refusing to urge President Biden to arm Israel. Goldman – who criticized Israeli “settler violence” – in November, only a few weeks into the war and called for a ceasefire repeatedly is no friend of Israel.
Schumer, Nadler, Goldman these are no friends of Israel and should be treated as such. Each has uniformly been silent on Anti-Semitic issues at major universities In New York, including Syracuse University and Cooper Union, and in the streets of NYC where violence against Jews is daily, they are silent. It’s unacceptable.
Jews are scared and these politicians don’t stand up for them.
It must be said clearly that they have blood on their hands.
Blinken, Schumer, Goldman, Nadler shouldn’t be permitted in Zionist institutions or be regarded as friends of the Jewish people. They are traitors during a time of war. It must be said and must be said clearly. Even if it is not popular or easy.
Throughout history there has never been a shortage of Jews who are harmful to our community. This is not a new phenomenon and isn’t a function of being a Republican or Democrat as there is good in both parties.
From Nicholas Donin, who in 1240 helped establish a decree to publicly burn all available copies of the Talmud, to Karl Marx. Theodor Lessing authored the 1930 book Der Jüdische Selbsthass (“Jewish Self-hatred”), and Labor Zionist leader Berl Katznelson asked, “Is there another People on Earth so emotionally twisted that they consider everything their nation does despicable and hateful, while every murder, rape, robbery committed by their enemies fill their hearts with admiration and awe?”
One must ask these left-wing Jews at what point they take stock of what they have created. When do they say they bear some responsibility for the danger Jews are in in NYC? Their offspring and their ilk are on the streets with disproportionately loud critics of Israel and in the Hamas encampments on campus.
It must be said that Jews who sympathize with our enemies represent a tiny portion of world Jewry – but the prominence they command in public discourse creates a tyranny of the minority. There is no shortage of Anti-Israel books, but media coverage of them soars when Jews are the authors.
Journalist Uzi Silber coined the term “Jew Flu,” saying, “those infected with the virus wildly inflate Israeli sins real or imagined, while excusing or rationalizing Palestinian anti-Semitism and outrages against Jews.”
Kenneth Levin, a Harvard psychiatrist, says that Jewish self-hatred is in part a result of Stockholm syndrome, where “population segments under chronic siege commonly embrace the indictments of their besiegers however bigoted and outrageous.”
This was epitomized by Rosa Luxemburg, a prominent Bolshevik who said, “I have no room in my heart for Jewish suffering – Why do you pester me with Jewish troubles?”
Throughout history, Jewish self-haters have been influenced by a perversion of Judaism which says that universal social justice is the core Jewish mission. It’s simply not true that this is the central point of Judaism – and one wonders why these people ignore all of the other Jewish commandments. They seem to miss the point that if they and other Jewish enemies succeed in their collaboration, Israel won’t be a nation – and can’t be a “light unto the nations”.
In the year 2024, we must heed the words of Ze’ev Jabotinsky, “We were not created in order to teach morals and manners to our enemies.”
These “helpful idiots” continue writing and issuing statements while there are no Arabs speaking up for Jewish causes. These liberal Jews speak out for the whole world – Tibet, Sudan – and of national rights for all people – except the Jews. They speak of a “humanity” that will divest the Jewish people of their humanity.
Harvard professor Ruth Wisse says, “the rapid demoralization of Jews in the face of anti-Zionism… shows the depth of the influence of the past, for many have yet to achieve the simple self-respect that has been eluding the Jews collectively since the dawn of modernity.”
As it says in the Talmud “Israel are the sons and daughters of Kings,” – We, the Jewish people, are sons and daughters of the first king and queen, Abraham and Sarah. These self-hating Jews have forgotten that Jews are the chosen people and descend from royalty – and we will continue to pray and work for the State of Israel and Jewish people.

With subdued state ceremony, Israel begins marking a somber 76th Independence Day
כֹּל עוֹד בַּלֵּבָב פְּנִימָה
נֶפֶשׁ יְהוּדִי הוֹמִיָּה,
וּלְפַאֲתֵי מִזְרָח קָדִימָה,
עַיִן לְצִיּוֹן צוֹפִיָּה;
עוֹד לֹא אָבְדָה תִּקְוָתֵנוּ,
הַתִּקְוָה בַּת שְׁנוֹת אַלְפַּיִם,
לִהְיוֹת עַם חָפְשִׁי בְּאַרְצֵנוּ,
אֶרֶץ צִיּוֹן וִירוּשָׁלַיִם.
לִהְיוֹת עַם חָפְשִׁי בְּאַרְצֵנוּ,
אֶרֶץ צִיּוֹן וִירוּשָׁלַיִם.
The annual state torch-lighting ceremony aired Monday night after it was pre-recorded for the first time as Israelis began marking the first Independence Day since Hamas’s October 7 terror onslaught.
Save for a separately recorded message from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that fit awkwardly into the flow of the ceremony, the mood throughout was rather somber — a stark contrast to previous years where crowds of hundreds of flag-waving Israelis would attend the celebration.
The ceremony is typically broadcast live, but government organizers moved to film it ahead of time amid speculation that they wanted to avoid the heckling that was seen at multiple Memorial Day ceremonies hours before.
The torch-lighting ceremony was held amid significant protest from those who felt the government should not be putting on such a confab after presiding over the largest, single-day slaughter of Israelis in the country’s history. Some 1,200 were killed and 252 were taken hostage during the Hamas-led onslaught on October 7, which sparked the ongoing war in Gaza.
Some of the most vocal voices against holding the traditional ceremony were the relatives of the hostages and the families who have lost loved ones or been uprooted from their homes as a result of the fighting in Gaza and on the Lebanon border.
Some of them led an alternative “torch dousing” ceremony in the central town of Binyamina, which was attended by roughly 1,000 other Israelis. Another 100,000 joined other hostage families to commemorate the start of Independence Day there at a similarly somber rally at Tel Aviv’s Hostage Square.
Addressing the pre-recorded state ceremony was Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana who offered a message to the 132 hostages still being held in Gaza.
“The State of Israel was not there on October 7 in its full strength and power as we all expected it to be, but since then, it has been working every day to return you home to your families,” he said, adding that “all of those serving in the Israeli security forces Israel are fighting tirelessly for your release.”
The INSANE New York Times Says that the Left's Jew-hate is the fault of the Republicans
Campuses across the nation bristle with leftist protesters screeching for intifada; powerful Democrats co-sign the ugliest and most open Jew-hate — but The New York Times insists it’s actually the Republicans who are antisemites; they’re just hiding it to “seize the political advantage.”
It’s all laid out in a 3,500-plus word work of apologetics for the anti-Zionist brownshirts now prominent in the paper’s preferred political party.
You see, the GOP has embraced antisemitism chiefly by . . . criticizing George Soros.
Yes, that’s the Times’ actual line.
Attacking one of the world’s richest and most powerful men for spending his billions on bad policy — including on groups that back Jew-hating protestors! — is a stalking horse for secret antisemitism.
Not Khymani James, the Columbia protest leader who said Zionists don’t deserve to live, nor the students shouting for Jews to go back to Poland.
Not the university administrators who enable and coddle the Krazy Keffiyeh Kids, nor New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman, the secret superfan ofYouTube conspiracy theories who long denied Hamas’ violent, on-video rapes.
No, when it comes to all that, the Times says, “Debate rages over the extent to which the protests on the political left constitute coded or even direct attacks on Jews.”
Imagine the paper’s reporting on a torchlight Nuremberg parade: Debate rages over the extent to which the protests of the NSDAP constitute coded or even direct attacks on Jews.
But we’re pretty sure these modern Jew-haters (think tents, not torches) have made their message 100% clear.
As have the president and his Cabinet, by doing their damnedest to undermine and isolate the Jewish state in its justified and humane counterattack against Hamas.
It’s obvious why the Times is doing this: The campus protests are hurting the president and his party — since most Americans, red or blue, rightly hate Hamas and its stateside fifth-columnists.
The piece is desperately flailing, in other words, to deflect Biden’s richly deserved blame before November.
It won’t work. Biden now owns the pro-Hamas elements in his party (or perhaps they own him?) and nothing short of a full and public repudiation will change that.
We don’t recommend holding your breath on that one, though.
Trump now leading in 5 battleground states — all of which Biden won in 2020: poll
President Donald Trump is leading President Biden in five critical, toss-up swing states — all of which Biden won in 2020, a new set of polls revealed.
Surveys by the New York Times, Siena College and the Philadelphia Inquirer found that Trump was more popular than Biden among voters in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania, while Biden led among voters in only one battleground state, Wisconsin.
All six of the battleground states looked at in the polls were won by Biden in 2020, and victories in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin in 2024 would be enough for Biden to secure his re-election, as long as he did not lose any of the states he won four years ago.
The poll numbers revealed how issues like the cost of living, the economy, the Israel-Hamas war, and immigration have caused widespread dissatisfaction among Americans, all while raising concerns over Biden’s ability to improve their quality of life.
Nearly 70 percent of voters polled said the country’s political and economic systems need a major overhaul — and only 13 percent of Biden’s supporters believe he would be able to bring about such change during a second term.
Almost 40 percent of Trump supporters polled said the economy or cost of living was the most important issue in the election, with many doubting the Biden administration’s insistence that the economy is improving.
Many of the voters polled even admitted that even while they dislike Trump, he would be the candidate to drive much-needed change.
Trump and Biden are tied among 18- to 29-year-olds and among Hispanic voters, even though over 60 percent of the demographic voted for Biden in 2020.
Trump has also secured 20 percent of black voters’ support — the highest level of black support for any Republican presidential candidate since the Civil Rights Act of 1964, according to the Times poll.
The former president’s newfound popularity among young and nonwhite voters has seemingly opened up the electoral map, pushing him ahead in more diverse states like Arizona, Georgia and Nevada where Biden was previously successful.
Despite this, Biden seems to have maintained much of his foothold among older and white voters who, as a group, seem to be demanding fewer fundamental changes. As a result, Biden has become more competitive in swing states with a greater population of white people, like Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Abortion continues to be a hot-button issue among voters, with 64 percent in battleground states saying abortion should always or mostly be legal, including 44 percent of Trump supporters, according to the polls.
The surveys also found that nearly 20 percent of voters blame Biden more than Trump for the Supreme Court’s decision in 2022 to overturn Roe v. Wade, a shocking statistic that will likely drive the president to work to rebuild trust among that group of voters.
Still, voters prefer Biden over Trump to handle the issue of abortion by 11 points, 49 to 38 percent.
Trump, meanwhile, is polling well among voters who believe the political and economic systems need to be torn down, including 2 percent of “very liberal” voters who went for Biden in 2020, according to the polls.
Additionally, about 13 percent of voters who voted for Biden in 2020 but do not plan to again said his foreign policy on the war in Gaza was their most important issue. About 17 percent of those voters said they sympathized with Israel.
The polls surveyed 4,097 registered voters in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin from April 28 to May 9.
Why I quit being a Jewish anti-Israel extremist’
The interview starts at the 10:50 mark!
This week, “The Quad” interviews a former Jewish anti-Israel activist, Ateret Violet Shmuel, on why she hated Israel so much, what she believed about herself and other Jews and what made her decide to change directions.
This episode is a must-see for anyone who wants to understand the current protests happening across the United States.
