The Anti-Israel Right Joins the Pro-Iran Left

MAGA influencers replace the mainstream media as vehicles for traditional information campaigns targeting Israel—and Trump
Donald Trump says he is going to fight to end antisemitism and the left-wing delegitimization and hatred of Israel that has plagued college campuses since Oct. 7, which led to the murder last week of two Israeli embassy employees. Standing in the way of his efforts to rid America of a violent and deadly scourge are the radical left, Democrats, federal courts, and university presidents who are determined to protect pro-Palestinian terrorists from his deportation campaign.
Everyone wants Trump to lose. This includes certain self-proclaimed MAGA influencers, who are obsessed with the idea of Israel as a uniquely evil force in world history and American Jews as a malignant fifth column. The influencers are joined by Trump officials trying to reorient the president’s Middle East policy and negate the successes of his first term. Both camps now find themselves on the same side as the globalist institutions they say they despise: the United Nations and other world bodies that threaten national sovereignty, America’s as well as Israel’s.
Since Oct. 7, the United Nations has used its monopoly on aid distribution to bring Israel’s military campaign to a halt and save Hamas. The international body has also been the leading voice in what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described as the “blood libels against Israel,” baselessly accusing the IDF of genocide and creating a climate that led to the murder of the two embassy employees. On May 20, the day before the attack, the United Nations’ under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs Tom Fletcher said, “There are 14,000 babies that will die in the next 48 hours unless we can reach them.”
But there is no famine—only an ongoing series of reports, many produced by the same organization, warning of famine since almost immediately after Oct. 7, without ever having produced one starvation victim. It’s a blood libel meant to incite antisemitic violence, and it’s also a pro-Hamas propaganda campaign. Call it the famine hoax. It began even before Israel entered Gaza, and was designed to reshape the rules of war in ways that would ensure Hamas’ survival.
Trump was elected to hold the line and make America great again, not to implement the failed policies of his predecessors while allowing lunatics to mainstream conspiracy theories and incite hatred.
On Oct. 16, 2023, nine days after 1,200 were killed and hundreds taken hostage, the World Health Organization warned of a “catastrophe” in Gaza, claiming that there were only 24 hours of water, electricity, and fuel left. “You cannot use aid, or food and water, as an instrument of war for any political or military ends,” said Marwan Jilani, director general of the Palestine Red Crescent Society. “There is an urgent need to alleviate the suffering of Palestinian civilians in Gaza,” said Egypt’s foreign minister. But back then, Israel hadn’t invaded Gaza yet. Egypt controlled the Rafah crossing—and was fully capable of getting food into Gaza. But it didn’t. Needless to say, no international tribunals threatened Cairo with war crimes charges, nor did Palestinian activists accuse the Egyptians of genocide.
In late December 2023, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification issued a famine warning and claimed that at least a quarter of people in Gaza were experiencing famine-level forms of deprivation. In mid-March 2024, the Biden White House’s USAID administrator Samantha Power said that Gaza was at a “serious risk of famine,” meaning that the famine predicted four months previously had not materialized. She called to “dramatically surge” humanitarian aid “as conditions continue to deteriorate.” Again, there was no famine. . . .
