Glenn Greenwald and the growing right-wing shift against the US-Israel alliance
A notable change in US politics: parts of the right are now openly questioning America's support for Israel, which is bad for the pro-Israel lobby and good for critics of that alliance.
- For the first time, loud voices on the right — Tucker Carlson, the late Charlie Kirk, Megyn Kelly — are challenging US backing of Israel, especially after October 7th.
- Megyn Kelly has moved away from the standard Fox News line on Israel after repeated on-air debates with Glenn Greenwald over student protesters and free speech.
- The bigger lesson pushed here: voters get ignored if they always back the same party, so they must apply pressure and make their vote feel up for grabs.
- Change comes from talking to people who disagree, not from censorship or staying in a friendly bubble — the same way public opinion shifted on gay marriage.
Outlook: Expect the right's split over Israel to keep widening as more conservative media figures break with the old bipartisan consensus.
