- Charles Ellis Schumer (born November 23, 1950) is the longest-serving U.S. senator from New York, Brooklyn born. He is the dean of New York's congressional delegation, Harvard educated, and is 75 years old.
Schumer supported Israel in the 2014 Israel–Gaza conflict.
Schumer attended an anti-Trump march in New York City on January 21, 2017." In March 2018, he told AIPAC's delegates that Israeli settlements in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, have nothing to do with the Israeli–Palestinian conflict". Now wait a minute Schumer. Judea and Samaria are the original names of the West Bank, changed by Jordan. Judea and Samaria is the land WE JEWS came from!!!That's where our ancient history all began!!! Why don't you know that! Oy vey!!
Schumer is a co-sponsor of a Senate resolution expressing objection to the UN Security Council Resolution 2334, which condemned Israeli settlement-building in the occupied Palestinian territories as a violation of international law. He criticized Obama, saying: "past administrations—both Democrat and Republican—have protected Israel from the vagaries of this biased institution [the U.N.]. By abstaining on United Nations Resolution 2334, this administration has not followed in that path."
Then in In May 2017, Schumer co-sponsored the Israel Anti-Boycott Act, Senate Bill 720, which made it a federal crime, punishable by a maximum sentence of 20 years imprisonment, for Americans to encourage or participate in boycotts against Israel and Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories if protesting actions by the Israeli government. The bill would make it legal for U.S. states to refuse to do business with contractors that engage in boycotts against Israel.
Schumer introduced a Senate resolution celebrating the 50th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem.
In May 2018, Schumer praised Trump for opening the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem, saying, "I sponsored legislation to do this two decades ago, and I applaud President Trump for doing it." He had previously accused Trump of "indecisiveness" for his delays in implementing the move by waiving the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995, as previous presidents had done.
In a March 14, 2024, Senate speech, Schumer said Israeli prime minister Netanyahu was an impediment to peace in the Middle East and called for elections to replace him when the Gaza war abated. Isn't this interference with another country's elections? Under US law, foreign nationals and governments are prohibited from spending in US federal, state, and local elections. This is to protect the right to self-governance. The US government has implemented various legal authorities to address foreign interference in US elections, including: While these laws specifically address foreign interference in US elections, under international law, interference by one government in the elections of another country is generally considered a violation of the principle of non-intervention. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has upheld this principle. In summary, both US law and international law generally prohibit or restrict a government from interfering with another country's elections.
Schumer attended the congressional leadership meeting with Trump in the White House Situation Room on January 2, 2019.Schumer said the many civilian deaths in Gaza was causing international support for Israel to fall to historic lows. Netanyahu responded by arranging to address a Senate GOP conference by video.
