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...

Ridiculous. It was a Rothschilds creation.
Bull$hit!
No, worship in and trust on YESHUA alone, or you will not see heaven. Jew or Gentile. The National Covenant with Israel is not dependent on Israel. GOD promised that Israel would be brought back. Jeremiah 31, Ezekiel 36:24. There’s no special covenant for salvation, only trust in YESHUA alone.
Neocon's never seem to have any better arguments for their pro-endless-war tirades than petty insults.
I and most on FR will not turn our back on Israel.
Good for you. However, that doesn't change the fact that a vast majority of the American electorate no longer blindly supports Israel and that people with your view are rapidly becoming a minority even within the Republican Party.
If Donald Trump had been the Prime Minister of Israel, October 7th never would have happened. He certainly wouldn't have been taken by surprise by a primitive WWI-level attack planned over 14 months that even the Egyptians warned him about, and he would never have held back a defensive response for 7 to 23 hours in a country the size of New Jersey. And the American electorate would never have left him in office if he had failed so miserably.
A lot of that was the Israli Deep State. They were so busy trying to toped Netenyahu, that they failed to stop it. Netenyahu does deserve all the blame for fighting this half war.
