While conventional wisdom has long held that Republicans, and particularly evangelicals, are the staunchest allies of Israel in the U.S., the latest bloody exchanges between the state and Hamas militants have revealed fault lines in that critical base of support. Rather than close ranks to back Israeli attacks on Gaza, some right-wing influencers have turned on each other.
For instance, Islamophobic conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer and pro-Russia MAGA influencer Jackson Hinkle, who mere weeks ago appeared to have a friendly relationship on X (formerly Twitter), are now sniping at each other over the conflict. Loomer, who is Jewish, has endorsed Israel’s actions, while Hinkle took a stance against their response to Hamas’ initial surprise attack, disputing reports from their military. He is now encouraging users to subscribe to his premium content for $3 a month to support his work “exposing Zionist propaganda.” Loomer, in turn, is accusing him of sympathizing with Hamas and buying bot followers (his audience has grown by hundreds of thousands this month alone). On Wednesday, she tweeted that Hinkle has “gone off the deep end.”

They claim anyone who is against sending more money to Ukraine, to support another proxy war with Russia as being pro-Putin, and Putin trolls. Their simple minds can’t seem to grasp the obvious difference. And like the good Nazis they are, they have to label people when they don’t like what they say, or have the mods remove their comments from certain threads. Plenty of those Nazis here on FR.
They are the same rag that in 2000, had to enhance Al Gore's crotch on the cover, to make it look like he had more than a roll of dimes.
Um, what? Surely, murderers, rapists, child molesters…are more evil. Let’s not lose all perspective like the leftists do when they come across a racist and decide he’s exactly the same as someone who committed genocide against 6 million people...
I think the real points here are 1) there are some distasteful people who are not conservative or even right-of-center claiming to be on our side to the leftists’ delight and 2) anti-Semitism is very popular among young people of all sorts of different perspectives and backgrounds because of the ways in which they were indoctrinated.
Thanks everyone for filling in the gaps. Still doesn’t make sense how RS can label Jackson Hinkle as MAGA or try to make this look like MAGA infighting.
You mean Mick Jagger and Kieth Richards are weighing in on this?
Blimey!
