Netanyahu is throwing a major monkey wrench into U.S. plans for the Middle East. From Mike Whitney at unz.com:
Why did Chuck Schumer call Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu an “obstacle to peace” and demand new elections in Israel just weeks before an IDF ground offensive in Rafah?
Hasn’t Schumer opposed a ceasefire in Gaza from the beginning? Hasn’t Schumer criticized pro-Palestinian activists and their public protests? Hasn’t Schumer been a champion of the Jewish state for more than three decades in office?
Yes, yes and yes. So, why would he suddenly do an about-face and blast Israel’s leader at the same time the IDF is conducting a major military operation in Gaza? Here’s an excerpt from Schumer’s speech:
It is precisely out of this long-standing connection to, and concern for, the State of Israel and its people that I speak today about what I view are the most pressing existential threats to Israel’s long-term peace and prosperity.
After five months of suffering on both sides of this conflict, our thinking must turn — urgently — I believe that to achieve that lasting peace — which we so long for — Israel must make some significant course corrections…..
If Israel were to not only maintain the status quo, but go beyond that and tighten its control over Gaza and the West Bank, as some in the current Netanyahu administration have suggested — in effect creating a de facto single state — then what reasonable expectation can we have that Hamas and their allies will lay down their arms? It would mean constant war.
On top of that, Israel moving closer to a single state entirely under its control would further rupture its relationship with the rest of the world, including the United States. Support for Israel has declined worldwide in the last few months, and this trend will only get worse if the Israeli government continues to follow its current path….

Repeat: “Israel must make significant course corrections”?
Wouldn’t that be awesome to hear a pol speak so lovingly about America?
