Schumer Leads Growing Democratic Backlash Against Israel's Gaza Campaign as Biden Faces Pressure on Ceasefire
-
Democratic anger over Israel's war in Gaza has reached new heights, with a dramatic Senate floor speech from Chuck Schumer criticizing Netanyahu.
-
Schumer accused Netanyahu of losing his way, being too willing to tolerate civilian casualties, and fighting on in Gaza for political survival.
-
President Biden has expressed frustration with Israel's leadership and ramped up humanitarian aid efforts, but not called for a ceasefire.
-
Critics say Biden's aid efforts are inadequate and no substitute for a ceasefire to address the deepening humanitarian crisis.
-
The political consequences are growing for Biden's support for Israel among progressives and Muslim populations.
