No...they are out there. A person I've known for many years has come out as one of the "anti-Israel" sots in the last year or so.
Quite surprising to me as he has always been, and as far as I know still is, a very pro-defense, pro-U.S.A. conservative in all manners.
He is a former (retired) DOD security specialist and rather worldly person. I have been surprised, and of late annoyed, by his increasingly virulent anti-Israel comments. Turning into a full-blown looney, which I have told him, over this matter.

The actual number of anti-Israel conservatives is probably miniscule.

Most of the people I know who this author might describe as "anti-Israel" conservatives are really just "America-first" conservatives, and really don't give a damn about the troubles facing other countries around the globe that are not U.S. allies in the true sense of the word.

Patrick Buchannan is the prototypical anti-Israel conservative, and nobody in their right mind would call him Libertarian.

I tend to think of the Libertarians as universally indifferent to foreign affairs (often to the point of delusion of course) but not specifically targeted. Mind you there are plenty of wingnuts in the Libertarian movement (as there are in the conservative movement and of then the majority of devoted lefties are all wingnuts). Some of those wingnuts probably buy into the BDS hogwash.

Yes, I do include Ron Paul as a wingnut.

Nope, you are 100% wrong.
