“fully subscribed to Zionist narrative of an exclusive Israeli right to the land”
Not really. That ignores all the important nuance. Half of the current American right is America first and or ideologically libertarian, and are being pretty heavily vilified in the press and pundit circles because they want less aid to Israel and fewer forever wars. That’s it, I think they’re called woke-MAGA by detractors. Hillary even suggested Tulsi (who claimed Iran wasn’t building nukes) was a Russian asset.
Israel has a lot of soft power in the west, because our shared history (Jesus was a Jew) and because many of the greatest Americans have been Jewish. We love the Jews because they are great people, and siding with them when they are attacked is what people with western values will do when friends are attacked.
