Yoram Hazony is Surprised by Blatant Antisemitism in the MAGA Coalition — But Antisemitism is Second Nature for Nationalists

For years Hazony & his ilk have been feeding the flames of MAGA antisemitism, scapegoating George Soros as a progressive puppetmaster & demonizing liberal Jews as illegitimate. Their gamble was that Christian nationalism would remain 'Judeo-Christian' & pro-Israel

In last week's interview Hazony still wanted to deny that Gaza has anything to do with rising MAGA antisemitism. But that's ridiculous- Nick Fuentes, Tucker Carlson & others are rejecting the neoconservative consensus. Israel is central to today's MAGA fault lines

In 2022 & 2024 I went to Hazony's NatCon conference, a who's who of US & global far-right leaders. In 2022, the Jewish nationalists I spoke to insisted antisemitism wasn't a big problem in their movement. By fall 2024 they started changing their tune --> inthesetimes.com/article/demo...
The Right Is Increasingly Exploiting the Horror of Genocide
Right-wing operatives are channeling the genocide in Gaza into mainstream antisemitism.

2. Not taking him seriously. He's not only a shock jock stoking young male alienation with rage bait. He also gives his audience sophisticated political analysis (moreso than many MAGA pundits) which they take seriously. When we don't, they can tell we look down on them.

I agree with you. But for that reason I don't think Schumer introducing a bipartisan resolution is going to isolate Fuentes at all. MAGA isn't going to join hands across the aisle and admit they have a racism problem. If anything they'll double down and close ranks

How? I think most of MAGA will polarize hard against this. The opposite of helpful

Maybe it's just me, but I think Jews deserve better friends than folks like these who ultimately want most of us to burn in End Times hellfire & stop being Jewish.

at FRC's DC conference, nodding affirmingly as another speaker outlines a grim End Times scenario where 2/3 of Jews will die, & calls on Jews to convert now. Jewish Zionists have long expected their Christian partners to disavow this stuff. But here Bramnick & Perkins are speaking only to Christians
