Feb 02, 2026Progressive critics of Senate Minority Chuck Schumer had fresh reasons to speak out Sunday after the powerful New York Democrat said that “one of many of [his] jobs” in the US Senate was to fight for ongoing taxpayer-funded military and financial assistance to the Israeli government, a position that has been the focus of growing protest among rank-and-file party members and the public at large in the face of Israel’s brutal genocide against the Palestinian people of Gaza.
“I have many jobs as [Senate] leader… and one is to fight for aid to Israel — all the aid that Israel needs,” Schumer said at a gathering of Jewish leaders and community members in New York on Sunday.
According to Jacob Kornbluh, who provided footage of the remarks while reporting for The Forward, Schumer told the audience that his support for Jewish security funding will only continue growing under his leadership, calling it his “baby.”

wow what a piece of shit. mindlessly pandering to a group of genociders in the midst of a genocide. Is genocider right? What would you call an isreali who’s actively trying to wipe out an entire race of people? genocidist? a kapo?
anyway, it’s long past time that motherfucker left in disgrace
I believe the term is “genocidaire”
It’s not mindless. Schumer deliberately chose his side long ago.
It’s actually kind of worse. He thinks his job is to serve the interests of an imaginary family that votes Republican and are Zionists whom he calls the ‘Baileys’.
He is the leader of the Senate Democrats.
Treason- The betrayal of allegiance toward one’s own country, especially by committing hostile acts against it or aiding its enemies in committing such acts.
Example: These politicians should be tried for treason. https://www.trackaipac.com/congress
TRAITOR
And traitors deserve death. It’s time to start making them afraid. Very afraid.
It’s long past time for the MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries to get the hook, and be dragged off-stage.
Chuck Schumer is an odious individual, but don’t ever think for one second that he is stupid or incompetent. He accomplishes every task he sets out to.
Both sides.
Feel free to prove me wrong blue conservatives.
Both sides don’t have a masked militia murdering civilians in the street.
Depends on which street we are talking about. Both sides are perfectly ok with it happening elsewhere.

And you would have ignored it under a liberal.
Its gonna be real fun when more people figure out that the reasons AIPAC isn’t required to register as a foreign lobbying group go all the way back to ‘the whole Bay of Pigs thing’, as Nixon put it.
… Israel kickstarted its nuclear program by stealing fissile material from the US.
And then the investigation into that kinda just… stopped happening, petered out for some reason, and then for the longest time we just had this weird sort of standard where… everyone was ‘pretty sure’ Israel had nukes, but ‘couldn’t 100% be certain’.
Sorta like how the Epstein investigations had been… you know, going on for like two decades, and we didn’t really hear too much about it untill everyone involved fucked up unimaginably badly.

And then of course there’s the USS Liberty Incident which recently got Ben Shapiro to be extremely defensive about, treating the whole thing as definitevly decided to be a genuine accident, when you have a long history of lots of directly invovled and highly informed relevant people believing precisely the opposite, that it was orchestrated to try to draw the US directly into the Six Day War…
You know, like… some kind of half century + long cover up, or something.
By “job” he didn’t mean his actual job, silly! That’s what, $200K a year?
Chuck can make that much in one night with the right “donors”.
I wonder if he gets “donations” from Israel? Hmmm, it’s a mystery
Whelp, we can’t know, Super-PACs are free speech and all oh well our hands are tied. Sorry, no minimum wage increase this year :(
His “job” is to serve another country before America. Behold, great leader Schumer.
What a fucking scumbag, cheerleader for genocide, overall garbage human.
Holy shit that’s brazen. We need to impeach him.
We would need the entire Democrat establishment in senate to vote him out as minority leader, then they would need to have a majority vote to impeach. It ain’t happening unless we primary a large number of sitting senators this next midterm.
So yeah, lets primary these fucks.
Primary every one of them.
What do you mean “everyone?”
This ain’t exactly the first time he’s said it
Yup, and the reason he’s minority leader is because he’s helping coordinate these efforts and collecting israeli donations for the whole lot of 'em. They’re all funded by the same people funding the GOP.
The opposition is an illusion.
He’s said it outright?
Yup! As recently as March 2025
That’s a primaryable face.
Your job is to represent your constituents. Considering Israel has decided to spend it’s money on slaughtering civilians and stealing land, I’d say they didn’t really need any ‘aide’ from the US. Also, the citizens in Israel have universal healthcare, and affordable education and housing.
If anything, Schumer should be fighting to get Israel to give billions in aide to the US. In fact, if they don’t, I say cut them off entirely. No trade at all with them, no ownership of us properties, no dual citizenship for isreali’s, no entry to the US at all.
Trump spews bullshit about NATO being a bad deal. In reality, NATO is a great investment and had kept the world by and large peaceful for the last 60-70 years
Israel on the other hand is an ‘ally’ in name only. They spy on, and try to manipulate and subvert the government and officials of their own allies while extorting them for aide, then use that money to kill and enslave people. The world would literally be 20-100x better if Israel had never been created. Or at least created in a way that wasn’t hostile to the people who were already living there.
Fuck Israel, genocidal scum!
