Unconditional American support for Israel — once the bedrock of conservative foreign policy — is crumbling in real time.
From Congress to right-wing media and Trump-aligned grassroots organizations, a new tone is taking shape towards Israel: one of skepticism, impatience and in some cases outright hostility. The Republican Party’s old covenant with Israel is no longer sacred — and the cracks are widening fast.
In the mid-20th century, Republicans were generally skeptical of Israel, instead favoring Arab ties. Support grew later, driven by Cold War strategy, evangelical Zionism, neoconservatism and post-9/11 alliances — ultimately transforming the GOP into Israel’s most loyal political partner.
But that alliance is now eroding at a stunning pace. If Israel hopes to preserve its standing, it must act swiftly to reassert its dependability as a strategic ally — or risk forfeiting support not only from the American left, but from its most reliable partners on the right.
Nowhere is the fracture more evident than in President Trump’s second term. In April, his administration slapped Israel with a 17 percent reciprocal tariff. Israeli officials were “in complete shock” after having abolished tariffs on U.S. imports in hopes of an exemption. This signaled that Trump would not give Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu everything he wanted — friendship doesn’t mean favoritism.
That message grew louder during the 12-day war between Israel and Iran. Trump brokered a fragile ceasefire that Israel broke within hours. On June 24, Trump erupted in fury. “They don’t know what the f— they’re doing,” he snapped. “I’m not happy with Israel … you don’t go out in the first hour and just drop everything you have on them.”
And it wasn’t an isolated outburst...

Government may not censor speech.
Individuals and businesses can and should.
It’s called discretion.
Have some.
“”We do agree on one aspect...those other countries shouldn’t be given any thing either. The US is technically insolvent.””
Yes, agreed.

Tucker and Candice are not the Right.
I simply see Israel as a bastion of civilization as our front line holding back the Islamic hordes. And I have no problem fighting fire with fire. Their leaders have the guts to do things our litigious western world has scared out of our leaders in the US and elsewhere.
Israel is not perfect, but they are the right “man” at the right time. Just like McArthur and Patton.
Projection. I normally only see that from the left. But that is usually because most in the left are just ignorant kids. With age comes wisdom. (but sometimes age comes alone)

If here is anything to go by he’s wildly wrong
Someone writes a blog and we are supposed to believe it all.
I yearn for real news these days.
MTG is a turncoat and must be removed!
“Benjamin Netenyahu’s still unexplained delay in responding to the October 7th attack, his Epstein links, and his complete destruction of Gaza have done immeasurable harm to Israel’s support around the world. The neo-con Boomers are in denial if they think either party will be able to blindly support Israel much longer.”
You sound like just another a leftist idiot bemoaning Israel for fighting back. Why the hell are you on FR? There are other sites more accommodating to your muzzie loving views.I suppose the good book did talk about the world turning on Israel. I and most on FR will not turn our back on Israel.
Do us a favor and quit posting.
Anything that is above the Teinune GOD is a golden calf, especially veneration of a human woman.

America is a Biblical Nation, theonly ome, and has certain responsibilities as one.
Lol, Netenyahu has fought a half war
If President Trump was the Israli PM, nothing would have been left standing
Spit on the Bible, or you’re an idolator.
Britian didn’t want Israel to come into being and is STILL mostly anti- Israel.
