Murdoch Defends Bibi from U.S. Senate Leader

One might expect, therefore, that the Journal would not be shocked to learn that Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer, the highest-ranking Jewish American in U.S. politics, had called for new […] elections to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (New York Times, 3/19/24).

Schumer, after all, didn’t call for an anti-government mob to remove Netanyahu from the Knesset and send him into exile. No, he just suggested it would be in [Zionism’s neocolony’s] interest to hold elections to replace [its] longest-serving leader, whom Schumer described as “an obstacle to peace.”

Schumer’s view shouldn’t be surprising, because Jewish American voters are still overwhelmingly liberal (Jewish Telegraphic Agency, 6/26/23), while in recent decades [the neocolony’s] political center of gravity has moved far to the right. Polling shows that Netanyahu is deeply unpopular among Americans as a whole (Jerusalem Post, 1/8/24).

Yet the Journal—along with the Murdoch empire’s other main U.S. newspaper, the New York Post—professed outrage at the idea of an American official intervening in the politics of another country.
