Schumer Says He Criticized Netanyahu to Save Israel

To save Israel, Chuck Schumer decided, he had to denounce its leader, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Said Schumer: “A lot of thought and wrestling in my head: Is this the right thing to do for Israel, and for the U.S.-Israeli relationship? And the more I thought about it, the more I was convinced not only that it was the right thing to do, but I wouldn’t, I couldn’t, live with myself if I didn’t do it.”
