Schumer: U.S. Jews Have No Business Telling Israel What to Do
By

Yesterday, Senator Schumer said that Israel should have new elections because Netanyahu should no longer govern. I also dislike Netanyahu. However, Schumer has no right to attempt to dictate Israeli policy simply because he is a Jew. Although he is a Jew, he is not an Israeli, and the threats and agony that Israelis suffer are not anything Mr. Schumer, comfortably ensconced in American luxury and the very best protection the Capital can offer, will ever endure.
He does have the right to advocate policies because he is a leader in the United States Senate (As long as he refrains from interfering in the internal affairs of a friendly state), but he does not have the right to shove his weight around, with respect to Israelis, because he is Jewish.
American Jews sometimes like to imagine that they are as close to Israelis as kissing cousins. Some American Jews believe that because they make contributions to the State of Israel, Israelis should shut-up and listen to them as if they were elder statesmen. However, when a man with 500K in assets gives 500 dollars to the State of Israel, his contribution is a pittance, and to equate it with service in the Israeli army is inane.
Get this Straight:
If an American Jew counsels Israel to cede territory XYZ to an Arab or so-called Palestinian entity, and Israel follows that American Jew’s advice and is therefore attacked, that American Jew will not have to serve in the IDF (The Israeli Defense Forces) because of that Arab attack.
An American Jew may get misty-eyed and sentimental about his connection to Israel, but most of the time, those connections are the stuff of shlocky, silly, frivolous ephemera. A huge proportion of American Jews are exceptionally deracinated and ignorant of their faith. For some non-observant, “liberal” Jews, their Jewishness consists of an attachment to some of the more vulgar phenomena of American Popular culture, such as Bloomingdales, Barbara Streisand, Bette Midler, Judge Judy and Golden Girls (Bea Arthur acts like a feminist, Jewish broad). Indeed, I have known some Jewish mental midgets who think they are very Jewish when they go to an overpriced New York “Jewish” Delicatessen and eat a fatty, overpriced Ruben sandwich which is, of course, manifestly unkosher (We are forbidden to mix meat and milk because it is obscene to eat the young in its mother’s milk.).
I knew one very obnoxious Jewish woman, who thought she was a progressive, who forced her gentile lover to be her “Shabbos Goy.” Let me explain: Because Jews are forbidden to turn on light switches, feed fires or carry money on the Sabbath, we sometimes hired a gentile, or Shabbos Goy, to do these menial tasks. However, the Jewish women in question was a lesbian who never turned down Chinese pork spareribs. Somehow, the only Jewish custom that tickled her fancy consisted of one which entailed dominating her gentile girlfriend and segued into a hot S & M scene. She was never observant in any way. She was just using the customs of the faith to enliven her sexuality.
These American Jews are, in a word, Hollywood Jews. Just as Hollywood is an arena of acting, bathos and pathos, so many rich, jndolent, narcissistic American Jews harbor a Jewishness that is a product of drama. It is confected, conjured, contrived, liked the chopped liver molded into a giant prayer book at my Bar Mitzvah. It is like the non-observant Jews at my synagogue in my youth: They came to temple on the High Holy Days and counted the minutes till services were over and they could stuff their fat faces with food glorious food.
I know Meir Kahane had, perhaps, many highly lamentable traits, but he summed up so much of American Jewry so well when he charged that they were “Gastro-Intestinal Jews” whose Jewishness consists only of an abiding love for certain Eastern European delicacies. Jews who think they are Jews because they get gastrointestinal orgasms upon eating a Kenadelah (A Matzoh Ball) have no business telling Israel what to do about anything.
Sadly, Schumer’s advice was probably based more on the needs of our up for re-election president that what is in the best interest of Israel (and I am not a lover of Bibi).
He’s providing what he thinks is Jewish cover for Biden to position himself as anti Bibi. But jokes on both of them. Hamas Michigan has typical Hamas bloodlust. Unless the US bombs Tel Aviv none of this matters to them. It just shows how disgusting Schumer is. What a tool. And Biden is an idiot
