The US does have an anti-semitism problem, but criticism of Israel and the IDF is not anti-semitism. Fuck Schumer for trying to equate the two and therefore empowering both the real anti-semites and the genocidal Israeli regime.

The same person who taught me that antisemitism and antizionism aren’t the same thing also made me eat a burrito on his front porch because it wasn’t kosher.
But both Jewish and Muslim dietary restrictions specifically allow exceptions for deceiving the infidels and other necessities!
antisemitism: jews have no place in this society
zionism: jews have no place in this society
hopefully this helps people see the problem with labeling anti-zionism as antisemitism
As a reminder, the only people who conflate anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism are raging anti-Semites. They hold the Hitlerian belief that to be Jewish is to owe allegiance from birth to Israel. They don't believe Jews can truly be real Americans, or citizens of any country except Israel. Schumer believes in the old Nazi belief that Jews are, by nature of their birth, foreigners in every country except Israel. This is why they believe any criticism of Israel is an attack on Jews everywhere, because they believe that Jewish people cannot be truly American. They are always suspect. They'll always have dual loyalty. Schumer is a raging anti-Semite.
chuck schumer is a vile and hubris filled man. he is the embodiment of all that Jewish people for millennia have resisted and fought against. my Jewish kindergarten teacher (southern Galitzyen Jew, just like schumer's ancestors) was very adamant that any evil ethnostate is anti-jewish by nature, and that includes israel. the point of the dietary restrictions, the holidays remembering dire times, and all of the stories about the history of the people is to build an understanding that domination cultures are bad and that a good Jew should resist them. even the common way of tracking "jewishness comes from your mother" is a point of resistance against a largely patriarchal hegemonic society (and also emphasizes food as what makes a people a people).
chuck schumer is not a good Jew and he does not represent what it means to be Jewish. you want a good Jew at a high level in politics? look at Claudia Sheinbaum and what she's up to. you wanna know what state most accurately reflects the Jewish identity in 2025? it ain't the one that's telling you it's Jewish. it's Mexico. because the point of being a good Jew isn't to be vocal in your Jewishness, but to be a good person first: kind, gentle, compassionate, patient, and strong.
I'm not taking moral guidance from a genocide apologist. It just isn't going to happen. He has destroyed his credibility.
Only people can be the victims of bigotry and racism, not nation-states. To use another example, it is not Sinophobia to criticize the actions of the Chinese government.
This article is such an incredible takedown of Chuck Schumer. You get the sense that the author abridged some of his thoughts only in order to avoid writing a book-length review about how thoroughly he despises this book and Chuck Schumer, both personally and politically.
Get fucked chuck!
How much did he get paid for writing the book? How many were sold on day one and how few were sold after that?
It could be an easy way to pass a bribe by paying someone to write a book that nobody actually wants.
It's a well known hustle. Politician writes a book, then PACs and think tanks but them by the thousands.
I bet AIPAC will buy a few truckloads.
The US does not give a fuck about Jews. They only care about Israel because of the alleged prophecy pertaining to a final battle between good and evil by Mt. Megiddo.
That, and Chuck Schumer is a shit Jew. He’s just on the opposite spectrum of shit of Steven Miller.
