It's been reported for more than a week that the United States is actively seeking to enact regime change in Israel. The most recent effort sought to destroy the coalition that elected Benjamin Netanyahu as Prime Minister by actively supporting Netanyahu's rival Benny Gantz's opposition party, and that looks to have failed pretty hard. When that plot was made public, Netanyahu's government hit back with a stern statement saying they expect their friends (the United States) to focus on overthrowing Hamas, not the Israeli government, and that only the Israeli citizens have a say in who is Prime Minister, through elections.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) took that to mean that the United States should now advocate for new elections in Israel, to give Netanyahu the boot, and argued that on the floor of the Senate Thursday.

"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."

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.

For all of his warts, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) gets this one right.

The primary “obstacles to peace” in Israel’s region are genocidal terrorists and corrupt PA leaders who repeatedly reject peace deals. Foreign observers who cannot keep this straight ought to refrain from interfering in the democracy of a sovereign ally.

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?
