Chuck Rips Into Obama

By Semperpapa

Well, well, well! What is this I read…Chuck Schumer, yes the liberal senator from New York, is not happy with the treatment of Israel on the part of his boss, President Obama.
Not to say that Chucky boy does not have a good point, but I am very suspicious of the motivation behind the scolding.

In a statement, Schumer said he considered the administration shift in policy regarding the Middle East Peace process to be counter-productive, as if Obama shows favoritism to the Palestinian cause, while trashing Israel, he creates the perfect reason for the Palestinians not to go to the negotiating table.
Schumer said:

...when you give the Palestinians hope that the United States
will do its negotiating for them, they are not going to sit down and talk.
Palestinians don’t really believe in a state of Israel...

And:

...It’s counter-productive, it’s actually the opposite. The only way the
Palestinians will sit down and talk is if they know Israel and the United States
are as close as could be. And each administration learns it...

While I must say that Chucky boy’s argument is right on the money when he points out that of the two contestants Israel is the only one that really buys into the two-state concept while the Palestinians just want Israel to disappear, I am not at all convinced that the motivation of the NY senator is purely geo-political.

Antagonism on the part of Obama and his clowns against Israel has been manifested since day one of this disastrous presidency, and Chuck has been basically silent. But one of the big components of Obama and the Democrats electoral successes has been the Jewish vote, as crazy as that may sound.
So, in my opinion, Chucky is suddenly speaking out on the subject. Maybe the polling and Jewish special interest have made their point clear to the senator that the anti-Israel position the administration has taken may create some heartburn in November.

I know this may sound cynical on my part, but I am just going by the record of the characters involved. Sure everyone could have a day of sanity occasionally, but I need more than one speech to be convinced of the purity of intent of a politician.

Just my thoughts!
