A combative defense framing U.S. support for Israel as bad for ordinary Americans, aimed at both Shapiro and pro-Israel Republicans.

• The core argument: real patriotism means funding the benefits Americans paid for, not Israel's wars.
• Shapiro is called a fake fiscal conservative for wanting to cut Social Security while staying silent on $8 trillion spent on Middle East wars tied to Israel.
• An easy Social Security fix is offered: lift the tax cap so the wealthy pay more.
• Polls are cited to argue Republicans are split, not united, behind Israel — most under-50 adults in both parties now view Israel and Netanyahu negatively, and Republicans rate the Iran war more negative than positive.
• Other grievances pile on: a defense bill provision (Section 224) to merge the IDF with the U.S. military, and reports of aggressive Israeli spying on U.S. officials.

Outlook: Expect this right-vs-right fight over Israel to keep widening as the Iran war drags on and public opinion sours.
