keep our politics out of your mouth
Even if I mostly agree with what Chuck Schumer said, it was wildly inappropriate for a member of a government of a foreign country to be talking about what the Israeli government should do politically. It is not his place to talk about that and it comes off as if the USA is dictating political policy to a vassal state.
Israel is an independent country. Israel does not appreciate political meddling by foreign powers, at least not when done so blatantly.
Netanyahu is a problem for the USA, but that is a problem they have to overcome via policy. Netanyahu is a problem for Israel, and Israelis have to overcome that problem politically. Israelis dont want [overt] help from the USA in the political arena.
Schumer might be right but it isnt his business to meddle into.

israel is a vassal state of the usa! when you are dependent on someone, he calls the shots. without the us, the "state" of israel cannot exist. maybe it should become the 51 state.
ReplyDeleteWeren't those the same people that said that Israel should not meddle in the USA elections?
ReplyDeleteAfter Bill Clinton meddled in the 1996 and 1999 Israeli elections, the Israelis figured it was okay to do the same back.
DeleteThe Americans are making a basic mistake. On one hand, they have created the fantasy that Hamas does not equal Palestine. They had to, otherwise how could they ask the Israelis not to wipe out Gaza? Therefore, the majority of so-called Palestinians must be peaceful folk who want to live quietly alongside Israel.
ReplyDeleteThey've extended that to Israel - Israel does not equal Bibi. Therefore, the majority of Israelis must also be peaceful folks who want to live quietly alongside the Arabs and it's just Bibi who's hijacked Israel, like how Hamas hijacked Palestine, so he has to go too!
