Mike Pence: No Place for Antisemitism In America Today, Tomorrow or Ever

My position on Donald Trump, Israel and the Jewish Question in the 2024 election was that I was voting for Trump anyway on the basis of immigration and other issues. The GOP was overwhelmingly pro-Israel because of monolithic support from Boomers. Looking ahead, I anticipated a gentle, declining slope of support for Israel on the Right as Boomers cycled out of the electorate.

Basically, I thought the fight over Zionism on the Right was a lost cause until the 2030s. There were too many Boomers. Older people are more likely to vote. The anti-Israel Right was too small to wrest control away from the Zionists during Trump’s second term. Activists also assumed that the Zionists would remain dominant in Trump’s second term and would be strong enough to incite a war with Iran.

FOX News:

“The conservative movement has found itself in a season of confusion in recent weeks. Former friends quarrel, familiar institutions are in turmoil, and some voices, both new and old, on the right have begun to wonder aloud whether the United States should still stand with Israel. 

That question deserves a resolute answer, and the answer is this: for our security, for democracy in the Middle East and for the very destiny of our nation, America must stand with Israel.

Americans should always be open to debate how we spend our money abroad and whether our foreign policy truly serves national interest. The rising generation in particular demands rigorous answers beyond empty platitudes.  

But lately, it seems that something deeper, something darker, has driven those questions. After decades of conflict in the Middle East, some are tempted to embrace isolationism, to treat moral clarity as naïveté, and to spurn our allies as unwanted burdens under the strain of massive national debt. For others, it is nothing more than antisemitism. …”

What if this assumption was wrong though?

I didn’t anticipate that Trump would strike Iran, attempt to take out the nuclear program and pivot away like the Soleimani assassination in his first term, but that it would demolish the taboo on the Jewish Question on the Right in the process and ultimately do more damage to Israel.

The Iran strike was intended to be a purely symbolic, token gesture of support to the pro-Israel Right. The Trump administration didn’t anticipate that it would lead to months and months of infighting and division in the MAGA coalition or that it would be rocket fuel for Nick Fuentes. They didn’t anticipate that Israel would launch this fateful PR campaign in response or that it would backfire on them.

As we close out 2025, Israel has failed to eliminate Hamas in Gaza and was forced to accept a ceasefire it never wanted. Israel failed to overthrow the Iranian government this summer. Israel failed to reignite the war with Iran in the fall. MIGA has also lost the war over the Tuckercaust. By forcing the issue and having this public meltdown over Israel, they have only driven down support for Israel even further.

MIGA has been reduced to Ted Cruz chest thumping at the RNC and Mike Pence writing sanctimonious Reaganite articles about “a time for choosing.” They have even lost Nikki Haley’s son. If they have another year or two like this, support for Israel could fall below 50% on the Right before 2028.
