"My job is to keep the left pro-Israel" -Chuck Schumer : Mirror

The only thing I take issue with here is the notion his constituents are leftists. His constituency is the entire state of NY. He should represent everyone sadly he just represents Wall Street and AIPAC’s interests.

Chuck Schumer is pretty much the stereotype. But what's important, it seems to me, is that the stereotype (and power) isn't as widereaching as conspiracy theorists think.

The most notable part of "religious control" is that Non-Christians successfully got some periods of mostly separated church and state in America. Expressly Jewish interests stand out more clearly against that backdrop, in my opinion. American government allowing for such obviously religiously motivated policy despite the intent to separate church and state makes some sense in the context of the Holocaust, but makes less sense in the context of Israel's actions.

When he says that's his job, he means he makes more money doing that than he does doing his "other" "real" job.

Not many of 'his constituents' like to dwell on the fact that they're living on the graves of the murdered natives
