Here’s @schumer.senate.gov saying his job is to fight for aid to Israel — which most Dems disagree with… and gives a nod to a “delicate ceasefire” even as people in Gaza are still killed by Israeli bombs daily.

We want the Gestapo to be acceptable
Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said the party agreed on three main goals:
° Require warrants in some cases and ICE coordination with state and local law enforcement
° Create a code of conduct and enforce it
° Require agents to wear body cams and not masks

I think it's more that Albanese is just spineless in the face of the Zionist lobby.
His appointment of Israel advocate Jillian Segal as 'envoy',
and the rushed, stupid and counterproductive 'hate speech' law were clear signs of that.

"As Israel has conducted its genocidal campaign in Palestine, accompanied by some of the most racist acts and appallingly hateful language from its political, media, and social elites, not once has the speech or actions of Israelis been deemed ‘hateful’."
Over and over, we see this tactic employed by the powerful: they are never to be held accountable, to sacrifice anything, it’s up to individuals to do more, while the status quo remains unchanged and the system unchallenged, except to accrue more power and money. sakr.substack.com/p/the-stalki...
