As RedState reported on Thursday, Sen. Chuck Schumer decided to engage in a bit of foreign election interference by going to the Senate floor and proclaiming that Israel must hold new elections.

That comes as the American ally gears up to finish Hamas off in Gaza once and for all. In the face of that, Democrats have faced significant pushback from their radical, pro-terrorist base. 

"I believe that holding a new election once the war starts to wind down would give Israelis an opportunity to express their vision for the post-war future."

As Jennifer Van Laar shared in her initial report, Schumer's behavior is insanely inappropriate and telling. 

Schumer's speech is stunning for a few reasons. First, we usually keep our attempts at regime change a little less public. Second, it reveals Schumer's evil focus on keeping Netanyahu from quickly and decisively winning this war and obliterating the rapists and child murderers of Hamas. Third, it shows that despite all evidence that a two-state solution will never work, Schumer is still invested in using the United States government to make that happen...

...As I was listening to Schumer's public statements, knowing that so much more about our government's interference in foreign elections goes unsaid, the thought hit me once again: If he's this blatant about his desire to ensure regime change in a sovereign nation, what won't he and his allies do in this country to ensure that the person they want elected president wins?

Remember when Democrats proclaimed foreign interference in elections to be a clear and present threat to "democracy?" Apparently, that standard doesn't apply when it comes to American politicians sticking their noses in the affairs of Israel. These are the same people who claim Russia stole an election with Facebook memes, but trying to sabotage an allied prime minister is just fine.

Schumer's motives are insidious. He is fearful that the current mission being carried out by Israel to end Hamas' rule will cost Joe Biden states like Michigan in the 2024 election. In other words, the Democrat Senate Majority Leader is willing to throw Israel under the bus and save a terrorist group from destruction to appease the pro-Hamas contingent in his party.

Gantz's voters don't want him to leave the coalition because it would signal a step back in the fight to finish Hamas.

Chuck Schumer wants Gantz to leave the coalition for the same reason: he's meddling in Israel's electoral politics *to stop Israel from defeating Hamas.*

Unfortunately for Schumer, his attempt at meddling in an ally's elections is already backfiring. Israeli officials, current and former, immediately responded to Schumer, telling him to pound sand in no uncertain terms. 

Israel is a sovereign democracy. It is unhelpful, all the more so as Israel is at war against the genocidal terror organization Hamas, to comment on the domestic political scene of a democratic ally. It is counterproductive to our common goals.

Of note is that Ambassador Michael Herzog's brother is a member of the opposition party that tried to unseat Benjamin Netanyahu. That sort of goes against the narrative that there's a vast left wing in Israel just waiting to surrender to Hamas. 

Naftali Bennett, who replaced Netanyahu for a period in 2021, also spoke out in defiance of Schumer's comments.

Fmr Prime Minister Naftali Bennett:

Regardless of our political opinion, we strongly oppose external political intervention in Israel's internal affairs.

We are an independent nation, not a banana republic.

With the threat of terrorism on its way to the West, it would be best…

Here's what American Democrats don't understand or at least pretend not to understand. Israelis overwhelmingly support the war against Hamas. That includes current opposition leader Benny Gantz, who is part of the war cabinet. 

War cabinet minister Benny Gantz, Netanyahu’s rival and leading candidate for PM, calls Schumer’s remarks a “mistake”

“Any external intervention in the matter is incorrect and unacceptable,” Gantz posted.

If anything, Netanyahu has been a more moderating hand, taking significant steps to avoid escalation with Hezbollah while others have pushed for a more aggressive approach.

So if Israelis are largely united, with the vast majority opposing a "two-state solution," what's this really about? As mentioned above, this is about American domestic politics. Schumer is such a coward that he's willing to bend the knee to literal terrorist supporters in his party for what he sees as short-term political gain. It's not going to work, though. Israel isn't going to heed his call, and the pro-Hamas wing of the Democratic Party will continue to lose its mind.
