Schumer Calls for Elections in Israel, How About Calling for a Ceasefire to Stop the Gaza Genocide?
The Biden administration has been 100 percent behind Israel's genocide in Gaza.

Israel's actions in Gaza have been so heinous that Sen. Chuck Schumer, who once said it is his job to protect Israel in the U.S. Senate, called on new elections to take place to oust embattled Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“At this critical juncture, I believe a new election in Israel is the only way to allow for a healthy and open decision-making process about the future of Israel, at a time when so many Israelis have lost their confidence in the vision and direction of their government,” he posted.
Schumer continued, “People on all sides are turning away from a two-state solution—including Israel’s PM Netanyahu who has been rejecting Palestinian statehood and sovereignty As the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in America and a staunch defender of Israel, I say: This is a grave mistake.”
TRENDPOST: The genocide in Gaza will tarnish the Biden administration going into 2024, and the president will deflect blame on Netanyahu and his extremist government. Don’t let it fool you. The Knesset has been comprised of racists and extremists since January 2023.
Want an election to get rid of Netanyahu?
What are you waiting for, Chuck?
How about calling for a ceasefire to stop the genocide? Oh dear, please forgive me... Little Chucky Schumer, a warmongering little freak, will call me an antisemite for saying that
A major protest broke out on Saturday Night in Tel Aviv to voice opposition to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—demanding new elections to be held and accusing the current government of being inept.
The Jerusalem Post reported about 2,000 demonstrators materialized on Kaplan Street in central Tel Aviv, including some who clashed with police. The report noted that there were about 30 other demonstrations across the country.
New elections in Israel are not required until October 2026, but many have called for a new vote sooner rather than later because of Netanyahu’s unpopularity.
Gadi Eisenkot, the former armed forces chief of staff in Netanyahu’s war cabinet, said last month that a vote for a new prime minister should be held in the next few months.
In November, Yair Lapid, the former soap opera star and ad pitchman and Netanyahu’s opposition leader, called on his successor to step down because the Israeli government is “not functioning.”
Amos Malka, the former head of Israel’s Intelligence Branch, told The Jerusalem Post, “They tell us, ‘Elections now? In the middle of a war?’ We say—yes. There are prices to be paid, but the price of this messianic government remaining in power with an incompetent leader at its head is many times higher.”
Malka said Netanyahu’s government has been an unfathomable failure and it is unforgivable.
“The intelligence and operational ranks, up to senior officials and commanding officers, failed, took responsibility, and will learn from past mistakes. Not like officials in the political echelons, certainly not the prime minister. Since October 7, he has been managing a war of political survival without any red lines,” he said.
TRENDPOST: Malka summed up what The Trends Journal has been saying since the start of the war.
Most Americans have no clue that as a result of his Judicial Reform Act there were 39 weeks of major protests against Netanyahu before the 7 October attack by Hamas. Furthermore his cobbled together government, according to the mainstream media is filled with “far-right extremists such as racists like Itamar Ben-Gvir, his national security minister who said, “My right, the right of my wife and my children to move around Judea and Samaria is more important than freedom of movement for the Arabs.”
Ben-Gvir has told Netanyahu that he will dissolve the government if he ever eases the war effort in Gaza, and has recommended removing all Palestinians from the enclave as a humanitarian solution.
Netanyahu, who has reportedly bragged in private that he is the only Israeli leader who could keep that from happening, said giving the Palestinians statehood would be a “huge reward” for the 7 October Hamas attack.
The Protest
The protesters in Tel Aviv on Saturday night had a clear message that they wanted an immediate resignation of the government, early elections, and an agreement with Hamas on an exchange for the remaining prisoners still held in captivity.
This protest is chanted, “Elections now!” and “Bring back the hostages now.”
The protest occurred as the death toll in Gaza was near 31,000. There are about 100 hostages still alive in Gaza. About 31 are presumed dead.
TRENDPOST: The Trends Journal has noted that the brutality and genocide in Gaza have nothing to do with rescuing hostages, rather an effort by Israel to collectively punish Palestinians and try to intimidate neighbors. Indeed, what does killing over 30,000, seriously wounding over 80,000, and bombing Gaza into ruin have to do with “getting Hamas?”
Family members of hostages have clashed with Israeli hardline politicians. There was a meeting held in November about a bill that would mandate the death penalty for terrorists. Relatives of hostages said the discussion alone was madness because the bill eliminated any chance of the hostages being returned.
Tzvika Fogel of extremist Otzma Yehudit, accused those relatives of “representing Hamas.”
Like King Knute, Otzma Yehudit's argument will not hold back the Tide of Israelis demanding change of government, now! Hostages back, now! Soon the tide must turn that will wash away the arguments that have stood like pillars of sand, that upheld Israel's quests to commit genocide against the Palestinian people of Gaza. But how many more children will have to die before that change comes about? Because now, right now, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are now riding through Gaza. Bringing death to starving children in need of bread and water. The Israelis have carpet bombed Gaza city and surrounding villages and towns. A place where 2.3 million Gazans called home. Yet others have called it an open air prison. A place where 72,000 children have been made homeless and parentless. These poor starving Orphans have been abandoned. They are now hopelessly waiting for someone, anyone to come save them! Governments responsible for genocide must be held accountable. With the equivalent of the Berlin Airlift, these children could be saved! We owe to them to call on the US to launch a Gaza Air Lift to save the children.
Question, would the preferred, next-in-line, regime put an end to the genocide?
Seems the Biden regime is in a bit of a pickle with some of their past supporters due to actions of the IDF, e.g. Michigan
