Likud MK Amichai Chikli issued a message to US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer after he endorsed Benny Gantz’ call on Wednesday to hold elections in September.
“Dear Senator Schumer: With your tremendous enthusiasm for Israeli politics, don’t forget that the gates of Israel are open to you,” Chikli wrote. “You are more than welcome to immigrate and vote in the next elections. Until then, please respect our democracy.”
Schumer responded to Benny Gantz’s call to hold elections in Israel in September by stating: “When a leading member of Israel’s war cabinet calls for early elections and over 70 percent of the Israeli population agrees according to a major poll, you know it’s the right thing to do.”
Schumer received widespread criticism last month after he meddled in Israeli affairs and called for new elections to replace the democratically elected Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. He also placed Netanyahu in the same category as Hamas and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas as being obstacles to the “two-state solution.”

The Israelis need American military and diplomatic support to survive. Otherwise the Iranians, with Russian help, would overwhelm them. The means that America is the colonial power (or just simply say, “the master”), and Israel is the colony (or just simply say, “slave”). Given enough time the Israelis could create a situation in which they could survive without America, but it would entail massive sacrifices that few Israelis would tolerate.
I think all the protests, Gantz’s nerve to demand elections – all of this is a product of American “intervention”. They don’t like when the Chinese and Russians meddle in American politics and that’s an enemy state. How dare an “ally” do this?! Schumer is a Rasha, he’ll have his day, no worries.
akuperma, The Israelis need Hashem support , America only one of the tools …
First of all, anyone is entitled to express their opinion about any country and their politics.
Second, this is pretty rich coming from the Zionists. The Zionists propagandize and lie endlessly how they and their “State” represent all Jews. Therefore, according to their lie, any Jew has the given-by-Zionists right to express their opinion about the Zionists and their politics.
