Check out MAGA's main public intellectual, Prof Victor Davis Hanson on this topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2h-tiHkyfcM

I don't know much about Mark Levine, though, after looking him up, it is evident that he is now pro-Trump and is for free speech and other conservative values. Yes, he defends Israel; you can be both pro-USA and pro-Israel as they are key allies on the worldwide stage. Iran and China are foreign hostile powers that want to see Israel eradicated. American isolationism is a good principle, but it's not practical when you have enemies like that plotting your destruction (and yes, by the way, they are doing that and openly say so). Israel is a key ally of the USA against the rise of anti-American Islamic terrorism. This is why Trump supports Israel has been the best president in American history on this issue, to his credit.

So what's really going on here?

There is an anti-Jewish faction of conservatives splitting from those who see America First and support for Israel as consistent and complementary.

You know who is against Israel? Leftist socialists like Mandami and AOC, terrorists like Hamas, and mass-murdering Islamic tyrants who lead Iran. Tucker Carlson is adding his voice to theirs? Why?

Here's my explanation for this, take it or leave it:

Many people who like Trump are upset with the decline of the West, largely orchestrated by the Left (e.g., feminism, race ideology, trans ideology) and globalists pushing mass immigration -- though it's also the result of free trade and secularism. And they have good reason to be upset; these are disastrous developments, ruining a great civilization. The West is committing suicide, and its future is in peril. Just look at the mess that the UK is going through.

So those of us upset with this wish to blame someone. It's human nature to do that.

Throughout history, which small group has been scapegoated the most, perhaps due to their superior intelligence and their proximity to the West? Jews, of course. This is nothing new, but it is ironic because Jews helped found the West: it's in the name Judeo-Christianity. Recognition of the God of Abraham, the focus on laws to govern society, the Bible (entirely written by Jews except for Luke), and, of course, Christ Himself, who was a Jew -- Biblical Judaism provided all that, without which the West would not exist.

Scapegoating is a natural psycho-social mechanism that happens on an unconscious level; see the work of theologian René Girard on this topic. But saying that it is natural does not make it right; it is unethical and leads to religious violence. There is Islamic violence, and Leftism is also a kind of religion.

I became aware of the issue watching a show on YouTube called Fleccas Talks, which is critical of mass immigration and crime, is pro-MAGA, and critical of the Left (so far, I agreed), but inexplicably and without any evidence, it blames it on a fictional Jewish worldwide conspiracy that they allege is controlling even President Trump. They call this being "America First" as though being pro-Israel is not mutually exclusive to American patriotism.

So now, with Leftists being useful idiots for Islamic terrorism (the red-green alliance) and some MAGA-like Tucker Carlson influencing many young conservatives, the phrase "never again" is being forgotten. If anyone doubts that this is dangerous, look at the antisemitism that contributed to the Holocaust. It started like this, with people scapegoating Jews for real problems. There is no worldwide conspiracy of Jews. If so, why is the United Nations anti-Israel?

If you want to understand it from a Christian theological perspective, it is the abandonment of the true meaning of the Bible, which is in agreement with Zionism, and the putting of something called supersessionism or Replacement Theology in its stead. Some of you know what I am referring to. This essentially erases Judaism and Israel, which is theologically and morally in error. Radical Muslims are also supersessionists and, on a psychological level, are motivated by a deep insecurity and fear of being inferior. This goes back to Mohamed himself. For Leftists, it is scapegoating using neo-Marxist ideas like anti-colonialism, which they incorrectly superimpose on the Middle East. I think Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens are on the wrong side of history with this issue and Prof. Hanson is correct in his assessment.
