Readers Write: Schumer no friend of Israel

The Island Now

Sen. Schumer bills himself as the “guardian,” the “shomer,” of Israel and America.

Let’s see:

He was the first senator in 2008 to tell us that Obama is the “real deal.” We got the Iran deal.

He groomed and delivered to Congress the perverted Anthony Wiener.

He did nothing to oppose the Iran deal as a leader — delivering a cynical empty vote while negating New York’s voice by conspiring with Gillibrand to do the opposite.

He supported the gross anti-Semite Farrakhan acolyte Keith Ellison in a cynical nod to the leftist majority in his party.

He will fight the nomination of Gorsuch — a legal giant to Schumer’s pygmy politics.

He opposed David Friedman as ambassador to Israel in deference to leftist Jewish critics of Israel.

Yes — he’s a shomer — just not for us.
