The pro-democracy movement of Israeli expats around the US are happy with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's remarks calling for an election to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and are sharing this appreciation all over WhatsApp groups and on social media, Shany Granot, who leads the pro-democracy movement in New York, told The Jerusalem Post.
“In this critical moment, he's doing what a real best friend would do, and is fighting for the future of Israel as a safe country for all and is reflecting the real truth that every Israel lover should hear and understand,” Granot said.
Happy with Schumer
Granot said, adding that the group appreciates and is grateful for everything Schumer has done for Israel over decades.
“In every relationship, there is a moment where your best friend needs to put you in front of the mirror and make you see the things that you don’t want to see. But it is what a best friend does,” Granot said. “So, in this very sad moment, we had to have our best friend reflecting on us. We thank Chuck Schumer for being this person and being a true ally of the Israeli people.”
