Although it is the Democrat Party that seemingly is going off the deep end on Israel and many other core issues, problems – serious problems – also exist on the Republican side of the aisle. That is what Lindsey Graham is addressing in this necessary speech about who is standing up for what is right and who is standing up for what is wrong.
If America pulls the plug on Israel, God will pull the plug on us.⁰

The Republican Party ranks are actually filled with well educated, genuine supporters of the State of Israel. Between Marco Rubio, Ron DeSantis, Nicki Haley, Mike Johnson, Tom Cotton, and a whole host of other major leaders of the Party, the Republican side is clearly the side that Israel must hope retains power over the next few election cycles. It’s a choice between Democrats showing “even-handedness” and Republicans offering real support.
However, the isolationist wing of the Republican Party is filled with the likes of Marjorie Taylor Green and Thomas Massie who are squarely against any form of support for Israel. The pundits like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens fan the flames of anti-Israel rhetoric nearly every day, and the billions from Qatar clearly impact indirectly on the decisions of the masses.
The most important up-and coming potential leader of the Republican Party is Vice President JD Vance. He is young enough and relatively new to foreign policy positions. Therefore, he is liable to still be swayed by logic that is based on rights and wrongs, and not on deep-rooted anti-Jewish biases. The Republican Jewish Coalition and others who are working to impact on the long-term pro-Israel norms of the Republican Party should redouble their efforts to educate and impact on JD Vance. Even if he chooses to not run for President in 2028, he is certainly a formidable potential candidate in the future elections for the Oval Office.
