As someone leaning left with big disagreements with the US right atm, I think the right in America would feel the same way if they felt their country's foreign, and to some extent domestic, policy was being hijacked by a small country in sub-Saharan Africa, or Asia (or Europe for that matter). They signed up for America First.
Well the Morocco lobby and the Cuba exile lobby (CANF) are both pretty powerful and both explicitly model themselves after AIPAC. CANF also isn't registered under FARA (though the Morocco one is). Admittedly, neither of them are nearly as powerful as AIPAC
The American conservatives against Israel are self-consistent in that view. America first, not Israel, not Palestine either. But the Republican party line isn't that, it's MIGA.
American leftists... idk what they want. They can't even explain it, it's like they're taking radio commands from Qatar or Iran that they only barely understand.
Israel, who has made itself the standard bearer for and home of Judaism, is behaving reprehensibly. Do they not think that legitimate anti-Israeli-policy sentiment would bleed over into illegitimate anti-semitism, particularly when Israeli government officials themselves are openly racist and genocidal?
There are elements of the American right that are antisemitic but it definitely has bigger problems with Muslims, and a large slice of the American right view Jews favourably (arguably very favourably).
Pew data is one example of data that shows this. Plus, in terms of Israel specifically, if you look at current support for the Iran war (which the Trump admin has repeatedly framed as important for Israels security) it's almost exclusively on the political right.
I see both a lot of left and right criticism of Israel on YouTube, and yeah, on the left it's all about Israel's actions and policies specifically, and often Zionism as an ideology, and the criticism is often lodged by left-leaning Jews.
On the right, certainly the comments sections at least definitely feature some pretty alarming bigoted tropes--the comments explicitly make the jump from being about Israel to being about "the Jews". One could definitely make the same argument about some of the content, though most of it definitely seems to fall short of where the viewers want it to in this regard.
What do you mean by 'Jew hatred' - can you be specific? How is it different than criticism of Israel? How is it different than criticism of American-Israel relations?
If my worldview required me to dismiss 40% of American Jews as being "confused and brainwashed" to explain away why they would possibly be critical of Israel, I hope I would start questioning wether I was the one "confused and brainwashed" instead.
90% of Americans are confused about geography, but I wouldn't dismiss them as people. But I certainly wouldn't trust their judgment when asked to point to Papua New Guinea on a map for example. I think it's pretty easy to see the difference between those two things, but you try to claim they are one and the same.
don't be ridiculous. feel free to point to Democrats with clear evidence of anyi semitic statements and connections to right wing nationalists. then let's tally up the same count for the GOP eh (Nock Fuentes at the white house, "you shall not replace us", etc).
There is very little jew hatred on the left. just fatogue with unlimited aupport for a Israeli regime that is losing democratic and moral support due to it's...trigger word incoming...genocidal tendencies.
> evidence of anyi semitic statements and connections to right wing nationalists
Why the "and" there? The anti-semites on the left are of course... of the left.
> There is very little jew hatred on the left
Your head is in the sand. Leftists on the street shouting genocide of the jews ("from the river to the sea") is like a monthly thing. They started before Israel entered Gaza. Before.
Before Israel entered Gaza, "from the river to the sea" was an official plank in the likud party platform, the party of Netanyahu. If "from the river to the sea" is genocidal, then Netanyahu's party claimed the right to Gazan genocide.
Saying "from the river to the sea" = Jewish genocide is an ignorant and demented take.
Meanwhile Israel is committing an actual genocide right before our eyes and using Judaism as a shield while dragging Judaism's name through the mud and causes increasing anti-Jewish sentiment around the world.
Israel is a disgusting European colonialist project and it should be dismantled.
> Israel is a disgusting European colonialist project and it should be dismantled.
See? Why ONLY Israel? Why is Iran not an arabic colonialist project that should be dismantled? Just as example. There's only one country people say should be dismantled and their peoples dispersed and that's Israel. Isn't that strange? And the ethnic cleansing of the entire muslim world that basically caused the current population of Israel to exist is... a european project? How do you get there logically? Europe didn't make Morocco, Libya, Iraq, etc ethnically cleanse all the jews.
Why Israel, because they've been controlling our foreign policy via lobbying and siphoning off our taxes for decades. No other country does this.
Why Israel if you're a leftist? A smaller yet nontrivial number of leftists truly hate Jews. But usually it's just America bad, and Israel associated with America.
I suspect that's true, but the proportion of people is wildly different. Every leftist I know is anti genocide, and sees Gaza and the West Bank as unconscionable. Some may then take that to antisemitism (rather than simply opposing Zionism). On the right, though? I expect you see a lot more antisemitism leading to "what positions can I express to cloak my blatant antisemitism..."
You failed to cover an important fracture in the Republican party. That there are some big names getting involved with ending the genocide without being anti semitic.
The only assertion I made about the right is that the proportion of antisemitism is higher. There are absolutely people on the right who are altruistic. Just like there are people on the left who are antisemitic.
Name one thing that he has said or done that is antisemitic? The reason I don't take this phrase seriously anymore is because it's diluted every time someone notices something about Israel. I've been following Tucker for about 6 months now and I've not picked up on a single thing that is antisemitic. Prove me wrong
Not really. Republican party is 99% owned by Israeli lobby. I used to say it's both sides, but recent House and Senate bills relating to this have been way more partisan than ever before, like the one that would merge parts of the US and Israeli military passed House with almost 0 Dem votes.
One interesting comparison, the Twelve Day War against Iran in 2025 had Democrat support. Despite their rhetoric, they voted to give Israel huge emergency funding. But they're truly voting against the 2026 Iran War.
