Mehdi Hasan Confronts Senator Over Schumer's Betrayal Of His Own Party On Israel!

Forty Democratic senators voted to block weapons transfers to Israel. Only seven voted against it. One of those seven was Chuck Schumer — the man who's supposed to lead the entire caucus. Mehdi Hasan sits down with Vermont Senator Peter Welch and plays him a clip from just last year: Schumer publicly demanding Trump be tougher on Iran, no side deals, sound tough in public. Then Mehdi puts the actual vote count on the table and asks one simple question, over and over: how can Schumer lead a caucus if he's in a minority of seven? Welch tries to close the door — "I don't want to turn this into a discussion about Chuck." Mehdi doesn't let him. It's not a discussion. It's arithmetic. But this conversation goes somewhere far heavier than vote counts. Welch describes the case of Hind Rajab — a five-year-old girl trapped in a car with six dead family members, on the phone pleading for help, killed alongside the rescue team that came for her. Welch and Senator Van Hollen have introduced legislation demanding basic accountability — what unit was involved, what weapons were used. They can't get an answer. Not a denial. Silence. Forty senators have moved. Their own leader hasn't. And somewhere underneath every one of those votes is a five-year-old who couldn't. Truth over Access. People over Profits. Live. Uncut.
