An unexpected consequence of the killing of MAGA activist Charlie Kirk is the fierce debate among the right about negative attitudes toward Israel and the influence of the Israel lobby in American politics.

I couldn’t join my family in honoring our ancestors murdered in the Nazi genocide while Israel uses our history to justify its oppression of the Palestinians. Instead, I honor my family’s lives by doing all I can to stop the Gaza genocide today.

Benjamin Netanyahu walked back claims about Israel’s international isolation after causing a stock market crash, but he was right – the Gaza genocide has severely hurt Israel’s standing. We must deepen this isolation through boycotts and sanctions.

Infidels MC, an “anti-Islamic” biker gang turned militia, now mans Gaza’s aid checkpoints. From Blackwater to the Pentagon, Islamophobia is no aberration, but the blueprint.

The Democratic National Committee’s recent summer meeting in Minneapolis showed how the Israel lobby is working to fight increasing support for Palestine among the party’s base, and how it is failing.

Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent comments that Israel must start making its own weapons and become a self-sufficient “super Sparta” signals that the small colony might be willing to embrace its isolation — all in the name of annihilating Palestine.

In taking a stance against Israel’s genocide in Gaza and its Zionist underpinnings while running for New York City mayor, Zohran Mamdani is situating himself within a historical lineage of anti-Zionism in the city that goes back over a century.

In Palestine, journalistic integrity isn’t derived from AP or the New York Times. It is grounded in the faithfulness of Palestinian journalists to their people and to the truth of their reality. That is why Israel is killing them.

No amount of convincing and irrefutable evidence of the genocide will convince Western leaders to halt support for Israel, because it isn’t in their interests. The only thing that will stop the genocide is to make it more costly than profitable.

The breakdown of the mainstream consensus on Israel is an opportunity for the left, specifically anti-Zionist Jews, to get their message across. We must seize it, and welcome those who are finally seeing the light.
