Subject: Re: Schumer's speech
But I'm still trying to figure out what the purpose of the speech actually was.

I saw the speech as directed to the US audience and made to help shore up Biden's recent criticisms of Netanyahu. It's not geared for internal Israeli politics. So on that premise it doesn't hurt Biden with US Jews, who aren't enchanted with Netanyahu anyway, and it will help with pro-Palestine progressives (youth seems to be more pro-Palestine), and some US Jews seem to be pro-Palestine. It looks like trying to spur N calling elections to pave the way for a cease fire and talks with a two state solution to me.
