Senator Charles Schumer of New York recently claimed to be acting on divine orders: ‘You know, my name … comes from the word shomer, ‘guardian’, ‘watcher’ … And I believe Hashem’ – God – ‘actually gave me that name. One of my roles, very important in the United States Senate, is to be … a or the shomer Yisrael. And I will continue to be that with every bone in my body.’
Corey Booker is perhaps more alert to the role of ‘the Benjamins’, but he, too, spoke in the language of faith when he addressed AIPAC: ‘Israel is not political to me … I was a supporter of Israel well before I was a United States senator … If I forget thee, o Israel, may I cut off my right hand.’
America Politics and the peopleit produces gets more terrifying by the day
