The media has taken to claiming that there’s a “civil war” within MAGA over Israel. In reality, 78% of Republicans supported Israel’s strikes on Iran and 71% support its war on Hamas. The “civil war” was manufactured by media hacks, hoping conservatives will adopt their support for Islamic terrorists, and social media influencers who are in the pay of Islamic interests.
And the most revealing thing about the fake “civil war” is that those trying to get MAGA to go left on Israel rely on leftists to tell them what to believe about Israel. Tucker Carlson’s leading anti-Israel guests include Jeffrey Sachs, a UN official involved in the 2030 Agenda who had received millions from Soros and who denounced Trump and called ‘America First’ “Idiocy”, and Glenn Greenwald, a socialist living in Brazil who attended Marxist-Leninist conferences, defended Hamas, and hailed AOC’s ‘Tax the Rich’ dress as “revolutionary and subversive.”
Most recently, Tucker brought on Ana Kasparian from the leftist Young Turks podcast, headed by Cenk Uygur, a Turkish leftist Muslim, who used to defend socialism before announcing she’s now “unaligned”, to lambast Israel. Nothing says America First like leftist Young Turks.
The latest Turning Point USA conference featured a debate over Israel between Josh Hammer, a longtime conservative figure and Dave Smith, a ‘libertarian’ sidekick of Joe Rogan, who had ranted that President Trump was a war criminal who should spend the rest of his life in jail. Rogan, a former Bernie Sanders supporter, recently came out in favor of a government income.
There’s no ‘civil war’ within MAGA over Israel. There’s only leftist infiltration of the movement.
The recent attacks on Israel by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and others similarly rely on believing leftist propaganda from the media. But if we’re supposed to believe the media when it peddles its latest famine hoax (after previously pushing famine hoaxes in Yemen and Afghanistan), why shouldn’t we believe it when it pushes those same lies about ICE?
The same media sources inventing fake starving kids in Gaza are the ones who were pushing the “kids in cages” on us at the border. And for the same reason. They want Americans and Israelis to surrender and stop fighting the invasion. And they’re using the most obvious button-pushing ‘won’t someone think of the children’ hoaxes and lies to force us to surrender.
If we’re going to take our morality from fake media human rights outrages, America First is going to survive for approximately 5 minutes before bowing to the bleeding hearts.
That is what happens when you accept the morals and rhetoric of the Left. And some on the Right appear to be willing to accept leftists as the arbiters of morality to a surprising degree.
Sohrab Ahmari, who retweeted Anat Saragusti, an Israeli leftist extremist, argued in an essay that “today, it is they — the Israeli left — who carry the Jewish conscience, who grasp all the dimensions of Jewish moral responsibilities.” This argument is the same one being made by the New York Times. It is the quintessential liberal argument for surrender in America and Israel.
What Ahmari was really admitting was that there is no conservative case against Israel, only a leftist one. To attack Israel is to uphold the moral supremacy of the Left and to exit the right.
In his essay, Ahmari pays tribute to the “birthright of Jewish universalism” and complains that Jews in Israel are trading “universalism” for ‘ethnic chauvinism’ by fighting to defeat Hamas. A true universalist wouldn’t fight for his nation or people, he would only fight for universal principles, and stop fighting the moment universalism and national survival are in conflict.
That is the position of the Israeli Left, the American Left and the position of national suicide.
This isn’t a conservative argument. Rather Ahmari is cribbing from Peter Beinart and the kind of Jews who tended to surround Obama. The implications of upholding a suicidal universalism over national self-preservation go beyond Israel’s battle against Islamic terrorism.
As Dave Smith recently argued, “you cannot be pro-life and pro-war.” If we adopt that leftist universalism being hailed by Ahmari and Smith, and accept that national interests don’t matter and the life of an Islamic terrorism is of as much value as an American terror victim (and it goes without saying an Israeli terror victim) then pacifism becomes the only moral position.
And we might as well surrender now and take our mandatory beheadings in good humor.
America and Israel are both fighting against ‘universalism’ for our rights as nations and peoples, against the moral relativism that equates the lives of our citizens with the lives of our enemies. If we cannot put our own people and our nation state first, then we have already agreed to die.
That is everything America First stands against. It’s everything Trump stands against.
Using the false flag of opposing ‘endless wars’, radicals are trying to sneak their anti-American position into the MAGA tent. They’re trying to trick MAGA into accepting a universalist position on Israel and then on America. Israel is the canary in the coal mine here. If we accept that Israel has no right to fight back against the Islamic Jihad, we will eventually accept that we can’t do it.
And not just Islamic terrorism, but anything at all. Including illegal aliens invading our border.
On Oct 7, Israel asked the question whether its nation has the right to exist. It didn’t ask it with aimless philosophy, but with military force. That’s the same question President Trump asked when he rode down that escalator. That’s still the same question being asked today.
The Left believes that every non-western nation, no matter how ruthless, genocidal or evil, has the right to exist, and that no western nation, no matter how liberal, has that same right. Many European nations are now ruled by those dedicated to their own national destruction. That is why the UK’s Starmer regime has taken to locking up anyone who mentions the Islamic invasion of the UK, why police forces monitor social media and why it silences journalists.
Only the worst kind of fools believe that the Left cares about the human rights hoaxes it puts about on ICE, Israel or mass migration in Europe. The same Left that whines over Poland’s border security or how much food is in Gaza also covered up the mass rape of British girls by Muslim sex grooming gangs, the cartel invasions of America and the mass murder of Israelis.
Anyone who turns to leftists as moral authorities is either evil, suicidal or a useful idiot.
The First Commandment of the Left aimed at the Judeo-Christian world civilization is “Thou shalt not exist. Thou shalt commit suicide. Thou shalt allow your enemies to overrun you and destroy you.” The Second Commandment of the Left is “Thou shalt tell any lie to weaken the moral resolve and the courage of the defenders of civilization and get them to surrender.”
Democrats allowed the Left into their party and committed political suicide. Now leftists and their enablers are trying to sneak the same corrupt ideology into the Republican Party, the conservative movement and MAGA under the guise of leftists who claim to be ‘anti-woke’ but are just as committed to the destruction of America. You cannot be MAGA if you support America’s enemies. And you cannot be MAGA if you don’t believe America should exist.
The anti-Israel movement is also an anti-American movement because it’s a leftist movement. And there can be no compromises and no common ground with the Left. As generations of college students becoming radicalized on campus showed us, when you accept the premises of the Left, you become the Left, and then you become the enemy of everything you believed.
Right now, the Left wants to get MAGA to go left on Israel. Tomorrow, it will be America’s turn.
Excellent coverage and expose. Pretty much all the controversies they come up with are manufactured for ulterior reasons. Political theater of the absurd.
True. But the big problem here is that Mr Greenfield is preaching to the choir. No one who actually needs to read his articles is going to do so.
The Left is just so predictable.
The same gaslighting that works on lefties doesn’t work on conservatives because unlike lefties, we don’t look to others to show us what we should think. I used to like Tucker, but I think he is more motivated now by chasing the dollar. I stopped consuming the legacy media years ago and message board trolls aren’t going to change our minds on major issues. The starving children hoax just makes me hate them more, because the parents are well-nourished.
And I liked Margorie Taylor Greene, more or less, but her slide into darkness began with the “chem trails” nonsense. Chemtrails is a superstition. Superstitions, and antisemitism is a particularly powerful and persistent superstition, always involve ignoring evidence — a determination to believe what a person wants to believe, damn the evidence.
I , too, used to think there was some there there with Ms. Greene but it seems more and more likely she is some kind of mouthpiece for the repub mongrels who are writing her scripts – an AOC from the other side of the tracks.
MGT is still mostly MAGA – but when it comes to Israel, what’s up with that MTG?
You cannot claim Lord Jesus Christ is your savior and lord while condemning Israel for battling for their very existence. Candace Owens heed this as well.
That is the thing, I, a mere mortal, would think this is partially what Yeshua means if you are lukewarm I will spat you out of my mouth.
Revelation 3:15-16
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Lift up your kilt Kevin Kilty, even RFK, Jr is citing chemtrails as they are – releasing chemicals to reign down to cause a specific and scientific expectation – rain, defoliation, chemical warfare …..
Don’t confuse contrails with chemtrails is all the point of this comment is.
Even RFK, Jr, you say? Look I don’t take anyone’s word for anything. Not anyone. I like what he’s doing to a certain point, but RFK’s not infallible. Why I got 8 downvotes for pointing out that MTG could use some clear-eyed advisor on technical topics is puzzling. I’d volunteer for the job, in fact.
The University of Wyoming, in conjunction with the State of Idaho, did cloud seeding of watersheds in Idaho for something like 50 years and the project goes on as nearly as I know. They were hoping to increase waterflow for hydroelectric among other goals. The results? Completely inconclusive. It is doubtful cloud seeding is altering the weather. In fact, some cloud seeding uses “dry ice”. You see CO2 is bad unless it isn’t.
Why anyone thinks spraying other chemicals at altitudes of 30,000 feet plus, and subjecting them to the vicissitudes of the four winds, does anything useful, nefarious, or is even done at all, is beyond me.
And then there is HAARP and all the superstition surrounding it.
The only chemtrails I ever observed that were effective, were those done at low altitude to kill the weevils eating my alfalfa.
Like you, I had long admired Tucker Carlson, but not any more. Something “snapped” in his head that I can’t understand or account for.
Omeed Malik is what happened with Tucker.
Tucker is Russia first. Remember his footage from Moscow?
Spot on! The Hamas Palestinian savages put little babies in microwave ovens and forced their parents to watch before slaughtering them. The so-called people living in Gaza gleefully supported and participated in the October 7th massacre. Pure Evil. Israel is wholly justified in wiping Hamas off the face of the earth. Tucker Carlson is revealing himself to be an egomaniacal, disingenuous , delusional clown and a useful idiot for the anti-Israel communists and Muslims.
There are muslims behind all of this.
Daniel, you are so appreciated and I love your work. I love Israel and leftists are in overdrive tying to undermine her.
That said I have to review the last 35 years of what appears as Israel using America to foment the ‘rules based order’ of the ‘elites’ and am growing weary. I have been to war in those lands on behalf of the Western idiot leaders. The ‘never ending war’ is getting tiring. Bibi attacking others when they know they don’t have the resources to finish the job thereby enlisting America is getting old.
Either destroy Hamas’ leadership or be done.
I don’t ever wanna hear the bullshit “Land for Peace” again. We’ve always known it was idiotic to bribe islamic evil with land to entice them not to murder.
Now we have another example that demonstrates it.
Bulldoze every Hamas edifice (on top of the pricks, if necessary), and rebuild Gaza as an islamic trash free zone.
Peace in Gaza only happens when the cause is addressed/destroyed completely.
What did generously Israel’s 2005 (Gush Katif) land for peace get besides genocidal islamofascistic Hamas rise?
The rules-based order is at war with Israel and with Trump.
The rules-based order supports Islam and its invasion of the world. It’s a never ending war because Islam’s violence is never ending.
Israel should finish Hamas. Would be helpful if the U.S. government stopped telling it that it’s hitting Hamas too hard.
With Tucker Carlson and Congressman Greene pushing their antisemitic nonsense, the fascist Neanderthal Right and the kitsch Marxist Left are forming a new red/brown alliance.
Daniel is truly one of a kind among today’s commentators. I’ve published almost 400 articles online, but am quick to repeat ad nauseum to family and friends that Greenfield, Hanson, Spencer, Ibrahim, and Fitzgerald are in a class by themselves as far as knowledge and writing skills go. This article is further evidence of that affirmation.
Thank you Jeff
Billingsley, too.
Tucker Carlson is free to get anyone with a toxic POV to what, stimulate interest and ratings like Steve Harvey has drag queens on Family Feud? Both are bombs and paint the hosts in a duplicitous light.
What’s her name, yes, Candace Owens lost credibility with her antisemitic rants.
What’s up with MTG?
Turkey Carlson, he’s a Barnum Bunkum Circus ring master – any freak with a podcast following can be on his show and some have gravitas and some are pure nutzo maniacs – and the MAGA ones, Turkey Carlson talks over them. Never letting them get their voice out.
Boring …
Candace Owens is Mengele’s whitewashing lowlife.
People like Glenn Greenwald, Dave Smith, Jimmy Dore, Jeffrey Sachs and Ana Kasparian. These people are not MAGA. They’re leftist entryists who’ve realized that the left has lost its appeal and are trying to sneak their leftist views into MAGA to subvert it. It’s classic entryism that leftists have been doing for over a century.
Other notable leftist entryists:
Dan Blizerian, Candace Owens, Darryl Cooper, Nick Fuentes, Andrew Tate, Myron Gaines (Amrou Fudl), Kanye West, and Ian Carroll.
I first did not understand why Tucker used to interview liberal Glenn Greenwald but after his Iran first Russia first abd US last – shows… I “get” it
You can’t be pro-life and pro-war?
Sure you can.
I want my family, my children, my neighbors, my community, and all well behaving Americans to thrive. I want American’s enemies to be removed from the country, rag tag armies of terrorists, and all criminal enterprises foreign and domestic to be crippled where they stand. Those that would harm my family should be eliminated at the border, or in transit by their suspicious action. Those that make it to my door with ill-intent will find a hard target. I will go to my neighbor’s defense should the need arise.
One basic question I have is . . .
When did it become Israel’s responsibility to feed their enemies!?
I understand they have to attempt a basic front for decorum’s sake, but after pumping in 700+ trucks of food a day, just to be stolen by Hamas, means Israel now has even MORE moral standing to send in no food whatsoever.
I’d say two things:
23,000 tons was enough gesture, and so now it’s time to let chickenshit leftists carry that burden.
It was never Israel’s job to feed their enemies, except after, and ONLY after Hamas are all dead. (Feed them on their way OUT of the gazan strip.)
Some time after WW2 it got stuck into international law.
Before that, sieges generally involved encircling the area and waiting for hunger to force surrender, as direct assault on a besieged area is one of the most costly of military operations.
Ahmari’s principles seem to change every month. I long lost interest in this wretched soul.
Daniel,
Thank you for another hard-hitting piece from your mighty quill. No worries re: the hardcore MAGA base. Most of your readers & bonafide patriots see right through the gaslighting & fibbing & agitprop of RINOs, GOPe, neocons let alone the radical woke regressives.
Our family’s been fighting the red-brown-green infernal menace for a 100 years. We’ve got the graves & the scars. There’s not a stick or a bribe big enough that could change our mind. We’re defiant & eat these pathetic schmucks for breakfast. Yours truly rejected the evil whispers of the Red teachers to snitch on my family in the voluntary-mandatory kindergarten at the ripe age of four. Threw such a temper-tantrum there (no harm to the other kids), they kicked me out. 😉 Went happily back to my homemaker mother.
Highly recommend ‘The Judge-Emperor: The Global Coup of the Courts’ on Gatestone Institute portal. And, ‘Trump’s Unknown Frontiers’ by VDH on amgreatness.
Watch your six & keep up the great work, Daniel.
Good. We’ve been fighting this for a long time. Graves and scars here too. Members of my family were executed by the Communists.
Daniel, Very sorry to hear that about your family. We are goyim & beside commies killing us, the Nazis (Gestapo), tortured & shot my uncle. Should you visit the W side of the Rockies, let’s go to a Bohemian restaurant w/ good food blonde & dark beer on tap. My treat.
It looks like my comment triggered some woke regressive Snowflakes. Good. I’d bet they hate the Sydney S. AE ads, too.
I’m willing to bet these anti-Israel “rightists” are not “right-wing”, let alone “conservative”. They are bullies, Brownshirts, and they don’t care about free speech, the cornerstone of our constitutional.
Old Bolshevik tactic: Never let on who and what you really are. Use misleading names and terms to confuse people about what you are really doing. Make it seem like you’re on one side when you’re really on the other, or on no side at all.
They are not what they appear to be, and finding out who and what they really are becomes the deceptive “riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.”
That they constantly contradict themselves and what they stand for should be enough to expose them as being leftists, or worse, agents working on behalf of Russia, China, Iran, Qatar, etc., even if there is no definitive proof at this moment.
“You shall know them by there fruits…”
Absolutely. And there is this commenter “tammyg” is certainly not white and no Christian ..
The influence in the White House and on our elected officials in favor of Israel is concerning and MUST stop. The Jewish people know that trying to limit our free speech won’t work yet they continue their campaigns. Israel should receive no money, no armaments and certainly no troops. Not one drop of our soldiers blood should be shed for the moslems or the jews. The ADL, Aipac and any other middle eastern activist groups (like CAIR) need de be dismantled.
This is what happens to a country when you allow just anyone to come in. We need a repatriation program, and fast.
No one believes you are a “conservative” . “Tammyg”.
The Groypers must be unleashing a wave of downvotes in the comments…
Bare in mind also Iranian Islamist who pose online as white supremacists…
