right wing support for Israel is from the Evangelical Christian theory that Israel needs to exist in order for there to be a second coming. Support for Israel is not support for Jewish people. It is a mistake to think one is the same as the other.

Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him
And they should, given this is his fault.
And they should, given this is his fault.
This is a lovely sentiment but Schumer isn't up for re-election until 2028 and he knows this. At which point he will be 77/78. There's no mechanism to recall a sitting senator AFAIK.
