Actually this sounds exactly like how the Palestinians have fractured support in Israel over the decades.
Arafat would fly in celebrities to “tour” Israel and only show them the occupied areas.
They would then go back home and tell everyone how evil Israel is.
For a very long time, southern Christians were very anti Israel until Reagan united both sides of the fence with our Jewish friends.
It is clearly back again and probably worse than in the 60’s.
I think the 1972 Munich Olympics was also a major factor in shifting support for Israel.
People are not anti israel. Rather they are pro american.
This controversy is dated. The reason is that Trump already made the peace in the middle east.
That peace did not increase his political capital. What he spent on that peace decreased his political capital.
But israel is safe enough for now.
The problem now is at home—just as Carlson points out. How do we know that. Witness the results of the Nov elections last week.
Trump has to spend the next year doing nothing but improving the lot of Americans and being seen as improving the lot of Americans. He can’t be devoting himself to foreign policy.
To many, he has been flying to close to the sun.
