Openly genocidal Israeli minister joined by Democrat leader at Israel parade in New York

US Democratic Party Leader Chuck Schumer joined far-right Israeli Minister Bezalel Smotrich and other far-right Israeli lawmakers and American politicians in the annual Israel Day Parade in New York City over the weekend.

Smotrich, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court,  is openly genocidal and has repeatedly called for Israel to completely ethnically cleanse all 1.8 million people from Gaza, so it can ‘be settled’. Smotrich also called to annex the entirety of the West Bank during a speech at a Jerusalem Day rally last month.

A “record-size” delegation of the Knesset, the Israeli parliament, attended the parade, Haaretz reported.

They have to ethnically cleanse us and steal our land so multi millionaire Chuck Schumer can have a just-in-case fascist state to flee to? https://t.co/XbeD00bZz7

American-Lebanese journalist Rania Khalek posted a speech by Schumer at the parade, in which Schumer was lauding Israel as a state standing for the Jewish people.

That’s the Israel that Schumer is lauding — one that ethnically cleanses Palestinians and Lebanese people alike.

Israel and Isaac Accords

Smotrich is reportedly also travelling to Washington to meet with leaders of Latin American countries to expand the Isaac Accords.

The Isaac Accords, which started last year and are funded by money from the Genesis Prize that Argentina’s Milei received in Jerusalem. They are meant to increase ties between Israel, Uruguay, Panama, and Costa Rica.

The Jerusalem Post reported that:

The minister is scheduled to return to Israel as early as Wednesday, after conducting an intensive marathon of meetings in the United States with key Latin American figures.

So there’s Schumer parading with Smotrich, who’s busy making business deals while calling for genocide. The bi-partisan American dream.
