‘Drop Israel’: How military escalation with Iran divides Trump’s base​

Key right-wing figures, including some Trump allies, question the Israeli strikes and warn against a US war with Iran.

Washington, DC – After taking the oath of office for his second term in January, United States President Donald Trump said he would push to “stop all wars” and leave a legacy of a “peacemaker and unifier”.

But six months in, missiles are flying across the Middle East after Israel attacked Iran, risking an all-out regional war that could drag US troops into the conflict.

The Israeli strikes on Iran, which Trump has all but explicitly endorsed, are now testing the president’s promise to be a harbinger of peace.

They are also dividing his base, with many right-wing politicians and commentators stressing that unconditional support for Israel is at odds with the “America First” platform on which Trump was elected.

“There is a very strong sense of betrayal and anger in many parts of the ‘America First’ base because they have truly turned against the idea of the US being involved in or supporting any such wars,” said Trita Parsi, executive vice president at the Quincy Institute, a US think tank that promotes diplomacy.

“They have largely turned sceptical of Israel, and they strongly believe that these types of wars are what cause Republican presidencies to become failures — and what causes their broader domestic agenda to be compromised.”

‘Drop Israel’​

Several conservatives questioned the Israeli strikes on Friday, warning that the US must not be dragged into a war that does not serve its interests.

Influential conservative commentator Tucker Carlson — seen as a major figure in Trump’s Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement — said the US should not support the “war-hungry government” of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“If Israel wants to wage this war, it has every right to do so. It is a sovereign country, and it can do as it pleases. But not with America’s backing,” the Tucker Carlson Network morning newsletter read on Friday.

It added that a war with Iran could “fuel the next generation of terrorism” or lead to the killing of thousands of Americans in the name of a foreign agenda.

“It goes without saying that neither of those possibilities would be beneficial for the United States,” the newsletter said. “But there is another option: drop Israel. Let them fight their own wars.”

Republican Senator Rand Paul also cautioned against war with Iran and slammed hawkish neoconservatives in Washington.

“The American people overwhelming[ly] oppose our endless wars, and they voted that way when they voted for Donald Trump in 2024,” Paul wrote in a social media post.

“I urge President Trump to stay the course, keep putting America first, and to not join in any war between other countries.”

Right-wing Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene also sent a message suggesting that she opposes the strikes. She has previously cautioned Trump against attacking Iran based on Israeli assertions that Tehran is about to acquire a nuclear weapon.

“I’m praying for peace. Peace,” she wrote on X. “That’s my official position.”

While many of Israel’s supporters have cited the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran, the government in Tehran has long denied pursuing a nuclear weapon. Trump’s own intelligence chief, Tulsi Gabbard, testified in March that the US “continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon”.

Charlie Kirk, a key Republican activist and commentator who is a staunch Israel supporter, also voiced scepticism about engaging in a war with Iran.

“I can tell you right now, our MAGA base does not want a war at all whatsoever,” Kirk said on his podcast. “They do not want US involvement. They do not want the United States to be engaged in this.”

Only a raging, evil leftist would accuse a country defending itself from the biggest state-sponsor of terror in the world looking to arm themselves with nuclear weapons for the sole purpose of complete and total genocide of said nation as "evil."

It's amazing how you pro-gay, pro-tranny, pro-Muslim, so-called anti-racists put Hitler to shame with your rampant hatred of Jewish people. But I shouldn't be shocked. You're all socialists, just like Hitler. Of course you'd empathize with him.
- Hey. You're the guy from David Bowie song. Now i get why you spend years looking from the sky. How does Bibi pubic hair taste?

Yeap.
Let us not forget that time when Israelis cold blooded killed 34 American sailors and wounded another 171 aboard the USS Liberty in 1967. We were flying the American flag, but the idiots ignored that.

And the MAGET crew is full on board with it. The narrative shifted from "Trump better keep the US out of it, he had nothing to do with Israel's bombing of Iran" to "We fully support Israel and have been giving them intelligence as well as bombs, and we will join the war if Iran hits any of our assets in Israel"

Fucking crazy. Also WTF does this mean?

More bombs incoming
 
That was an accident and multiple investigations by the US stated clearly that it was. That is a bullshit narrative. But I guess conspiracies is what it is all about these days.
- Lol; Obviously Israel botom bitch would say that. Bibi could get his dick off, slap at Trump face, and US govement would say it's was a acident!
 
The assertion that Iran's openness to negotiation is a sign of weakness is a schoolyard interpretation of international diplomacy. It presumes that dialogue is defeat while violence is valor.

Iran is interested in diplomacy, meanwhile the Genocidal State of Israel is the antithesis to diplomacy. Israel has no interest in diplomacy, only in dominance dressed up in defense.
Israel wouldn’t give a fuck about Iran if Iran didn’t fuck with Israel. What goal do you think they have with Iran?
 
Seeing Netanyahu’s circumcised dick would probably spark legislation mandating circumcision of American male infants. To not do so would be anti-Israel.

Unusual post even for Sherdog.
