      It’s becoming a growing rift on the right. If you’re an actual (white) america first nationalist it doesn’t make much sense to send billions of dollars to Israel so they can kill Palestinian children and piss off Arabs who’ll do terrorist attacks against you or embroil you in costly forever wars.

      It’s also become a generational divide, support for Israel has dropped more among young Republicans than it has young democrats, something like 75% -> 25% vs 50% -> 20%. The new Gen z Nazis don’t remember 9/11 and don’t view Muslim terrorism as much of a threat, they want to focus on the “antifa terrorists” and immigrant gangs infesting the big cities.

      Just like with the left you see it more in the alt media sphere as opposed to the politicians, though Marjorie Taylor Greene was a notable example but she pretty much got kicked out of the party. Nick fuentes, Tucker Carlson, Candice Owens, and if you believe Candice’s conspiracies charlie kirk was coming around to it before the mossad killed him, are all very critical of Israel recently.

      And of course, especially with fuentes, there’s a lot of anti-Semitism mixed in about the Jews controlling politics. Israel is a gold mine for conspiracy theories and the right has been building their platform on affirming whatever crazy shit their base believes.
