American conservatives are honestly embarrassing on Israel. I'm not even saying they should be anti-Israel, but the way in which they see unconditional support for a foreign country as axiomatic is astonishing.
The US national interest is not even part of the equation.
It’s more about opposing Islamic fascism, barbarism and terrorism. Israel just happens to be on the front lines.
Jews are not going to let leftists and their islamist allies dictate terms regarding the security of our people anymore. Deal with it or get buried too

Do Jews control America or something?
No, Jews are on Israel's side while you groypers are standing shoulder to shoulder with the islamist/leftist alliance against Israel

Most Jews before the establishment of Israel were rather anti-Zionist for one obvious reason: people already lived in the area. It’s so absurdly clear how much the Israeli government lies, they’ve lied about October 7th, they’ve lied about Hamas, they’ve lied about civilian casualties, I could go on.
It’s actually extremely easy to see why a Hamas victory will increase terrorism around the world.
Can you direct us to an opposing study showing that perceptions of terrorism working decrease terrorism around the world? Of course you can’t.

The idea that, even if this were the sort of things that can be established rigorously (which it's not), it would automatically follow from it that unconditionally supporting Israel's war was in the US interest, as if terrorism were the alleged effect on terrorism were the only relevant consideration here, is absolutely preposterous.
But whatever that is not even my point. My point is that evidently American conservatives don't even think of it in terms of the US national interest.
They only make this kind of arguments when challenged. It's clear that they see "standing with Israel" as some kind of moral duty.
In recent months, the GOP has demonstrated a willingness to toss the Constitution both for Trump and for Israel. It's dysfunctional AF.
