Tobin<br \/><em>Jerusalem News Syndicate<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the main stage of American politics, the lines of debate about Israel and the Hamas atrocities of Oct. 7 have been clear. Almost all Republicans and most Democratic officeholders support the Jewish state in its necessary war of self-defense against Islamist terrorists who seek its destruction and the genocide of the Jewish people. Much of the Democrats\u2019 left-wing base disagrees with progressives being the loudest voices raised against Israel. They also have supplied the ideological foundation and the activist passion behind the surge in antisemitism that has been on display on the streets of America\u2019s cities and college campuses in the past six weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The political left has become the primary engine of the spike in Jew-hatred, while most of the political right has become even more closely aligned with support for Israel during this crisis. It would be untrue, however, to claim that there are no exceptions to that rule. Though they don\u2019t reflect the overwhelming majority of American conservatives, there is a small but highly influential group on the right that is not only unsympathetic to the Jewish state but providing intellectual cover to those openly engaged in antisemitic invective and demonization of Israel and its supporters. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jns.org\/how-dangerous-are-the-anti-israel-conservatives\/\">Click here <\/a>to continue reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LTRP Note: The following news&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":60,"featured_media":15603,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4806,16],"tags":[709,1978,2251,2913,387],"class_list":["post-36858","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-antisemitism","category-israel","tag-conservatives","tag-holocaust","tag-antisemitism","tag-israel","tag-the-jews","wpcat-4806-id","wpcat-16-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.4 (Yoast SEO v28.4) -
