MORE DAMAGE FROM OVERREACTION
FIRST ISRAEL AND NOW ITS U.S. SUPPORTERS
In recent days we see what is being a called a civil war inside the MAGA supporters or the Republican party. Much of it has to do with the question, is the Trump administration more "Israel first" than MAGA and questions about the U.S. support of Israel have been raised, mostly prompted by the GAZA situation.
The policies of Benjamin Netanyahu in Gaza is what has focused the world on Israel, Zionism and now the U.S. support for Israel. It is all now under a magnifying glass and details and questions are being raised concerning decades of mid-east war in general and even details about the Oct, 7 atrocity of the Hamas attack and how the best intelligence agency in the world did not see it coming.
The response to these questions, first by Netanyahu himself, and then by supporters in the U.S. has been to label anyone who questions the U.S. support as being anti-Semitic. a NAZI, and every form of vile adjectives that could be thought of. These labels have now been applied to even Tucker Carlson, Meghan Kelly and Candice Owens or anyone who should question the extraordinary support that the U.S. has given to Israel. In an effort to silence the questions they have now been spread with a megaphone around the world.
Mark Levin has especially been vile in his accusations, and in todays world his speech at an Israel/Republican conference is all over the internet. His speech just reinforces the arguments of those who question the Israel policy. While it may have played well at the select meeting, in todays world everything can be expected to surface and go viral within hours. The same for Netanyahu publicly calling those who question the policy "Right Woke" It bewilders me how they really believe that this approach will insure continued support from the United States.
Then there are those who applaud any division in the republican party as a "WIN" no matter how dangerous and destructive. They are going to magnify the potential damage to the nation.
Everyone understand Israel's dependence on U.S. support and anyone with a knowledge of history and public relations should understand that what is happening will undermine Israel's support and sadly also may create real animosity to the Jewish population is general. Real antisemitism is nothing compared to what I have seen growing up in the 1950's, and now they are setting the stage by their false use of the term to create real antisemitism.
Just as the policies of overreaction by Israel has been counterproductive, so is the vile over response by its supporter in the U.S. in setting the world on a dangerous path.
