The right is allowed to talk about Israel, even critically, and you can’t cancel them. Folks who are pro-Israel need to update their software. It’s not 2003. National Review, which led a purge, isn’t even relevant today. Gotta use facts and logic. Adapt.

Being "allowed" to talk about something shouldn't encourage you to fall for obvious grifts and con jobs.
@CommittedMooseVeteran2mos2MO
Goes both ways, doesn’t it?
@ReferendumVultureRepublican2mos2MO
Sure, yes. Be smart, ask questions, don't take ideologues seriously. Without naming names, the "we must invade the Middle East because of Israel's war" crowd were ridiculous.
But the loud anti-Israel voices on the right emergent in the past three months are largely grifters.
@CommittedMooseVeteran2mos2MO
Yinon Plan wanted Middle East destabilized as that would be in Israel’s interest. “Wars for Israel” is a glib summary of these ideas, but it’s directionally true that GWOT would have been in line with Yinon’s strategic goals.

I will say, I’ve always had an uneasy feeling about our relationship with Israel. Ally? Yes. In a part of the world that hates us? Yes. But at what cost, and to what benefit?
At the end of the day, they’re still fighting a holy war from thousands of years ago that we really don’t need involved in.

The days of the "Unpatriotic Conservatives" smear that ousted good guys like Raymondo are gone.
Unfortunately, the DeSantis right is showing itself to be aligned with this antiquated thinking.
