If Chuck Schumer isn't speaking at this event, why does its website feature him?
A source reports that Chuck Schumer will not speak at the Israel Independence Day pro-settler concert as was reported earlier here. A glossy poster advertising the concert features Schumer’s name prominently and lists him as a speaker. The senator was approached to participate in the main community rally, but never approached about speaking to the settlers. Apparently, the concert organizers were only too willing to appropriate Schumer’s name for their cause.
But one has to ask why no one on Schumer’s staff noticed that the concert website features his smiling visage appearing to endorse the pro-settler hate that will be spewed at this event sponsored by the Hebron Fund, Ateret Cohanim and Arutz Sheva (settler radio). And now that his people know (or will know shortly) will they insist his image be removed?
Other New York Democratic political leaders featured as speakers are Anthony Weiner, Dov Hikind, and Sheldon Silver. I know for a fact that these are Dov’s kind of people. But aren’t Silver and Weiner the least bit embarrassed about consorting with Jewish pogromists?

FROM “THE INDEPENDENT” (U.K.): “Jews protect Palestinians in harvest of hate” – By Donald Macintyre in Awarta, West Bank, 10/10/08
Israelis cross religious divide to shelter olive farmers from settlers’ attacks
(excerpt) …Last year, she was in a group in the South Hebron Hills confronted by settlers who fired shots from a pistol and an M16 assault rifle, despite the presence of the army and police. “Then one of the soldiers said, ‘Look, one of them is coming down with a jug of water for you’. The settler emptied the jug over me. It was full of human sh_t.”…

Weiner is one of the worst bigots in Congress, viciously anti-Palestinian. He opposes any and all humanitarian aid to Palestinians and ALWAYS HAS.
The crazy thing is that his main squeeze Huma Abedin, a Hillary Clinton aide, is a strict Muslim.
She has got to be an all time self-hater to be involved with this viciously anti-Arab dwarf.
How exactly is support for Jewish “settlers” extrapolated to “support for Jewish Pogromists”? You have expressed admiration for Rabbi Menachem Froman in the past. Are you saying he is a “pogromist” because he is a settler? Is it legitimate to use the fact that a few settlers may be violent to used to to tar all settlers?
This is the height of disingenuousness. Neither Menachem Froman nor his views are being feted at this concert. These are hardcore Arab-hating fanatics, the kind of people who beat up Palestinians farmers, burn their olive groves and shoot their donkeys. The kind whose 12 year old daughters spit at elderly Palestinian women from cages which are meant to separate both sides. Of course not all settlers are pogromists, but you only have to look at the sponsors of this event & their track record to know what you’re dealing with.
