It is said that in physics the closest distance between two particles is Chuck Schumer and a news camera. Not that the Majority Leader of the United States Senate should be faulted for being a Jewish ham. His mastery of media has enabled him to ascend to the pinnacle of power in America. Senator Schumer likes to boast that his name Schumer comes from the Hebrew word for “guardian” and that he is the guardian of Israel. Yet when an unprecedented rain of rockets fell on the cities of Israel for eleven straight days, our self-anointed guardian was deafeningly silent. The politician who is poised to pontificate about the most trivial of matters apparently has not given a single address or even a social media post on the dire situation.
