It’s about time somebody in authority made word of politicians like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s awful stance on the Palestinian-Israeli standoff (“Chuck ‘a Palestinian, not a Jew’: Don,” March. 13).

Schumer has not been outspoken in his protection of Jewish college students as a result of he didn’t need to offend his Democratic allies or face a major problem from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
He is a man of no ethical braveness who has misplaced the respect of the Jewish neighborhood. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is the elected chief of a international authorities and Schumer had no proper to intervene with that by calling for Israelis to switch him.
Schumer has gone from a reasonable, smart Democrat to a left-wing progressive who helps his antisemitic colleagues and doesn’t stand up for Jewish college students and Jews on this nation. Shame on him.
