// Chuck Schumer: The Senate Majority Leader Delivers Powerful Speech on Antisemitism

Charles “Chuck” Schumer, 73, has served as U.S. Senate Majority Leader since 2021 and the senior United States senator from New York since 1999. A member of the Democratic Party, he has led the Senate Democratic Caucus since 2017 and was Senate Minority Leader from 2017 to 2021. On Nov. 29, Schumer delivered a powerful speech — widely praised — on the floor of the Senate decrying the dramatic, dangerous rise in antisemitism following the Oct. 7 Hamas attack against Israel.

Quote: “Can you understand why Jewish people feel isolated when we hear some praise Hamas and chant its vicious slogan? Can you blame us for feeling vulnerable only 80 years after Hitler wiped out half [sic] of the Jewish population across the world while many countries turned their back? Can you appreciate the deep fear we have about what Hamas might do if left to their own devices?”
