Tucker Carlson praises Democrats for voting against Israel aid
A shift in US politics over Israel is colliding with a re-escalating Iran war, and both are turning against Trump and the pro-Israel wing of both parties.
- The largest number of Democrats ever just voted against funding aid to Israel, and Tucker Carlson — a war critic on the right — cheered them for it.
- Even top Democrats like Pelosi and the number-two House Democrat broke ranks, though leaders like Schumer and Jeffries still back Israel.
- Opposition to Israel has become the main litmus test driving the 2026 Democratic primaries, powered by big outside money flooding races.
- The Iran ceasefire has collapsed: Iran claims new strikes on US bases, the US is bombing Iranian targets nightly, and ships are again avoiding the Strait of Hormuz.
- Ships avoiding Hormuz is pushing energy prices higher worldwide, hitting countries like Australia even harder than the US.
Outlook: More escalation looks likely, with talk of a possible US move on Iran's Kharg Island, while young Republicans keep drifting away from backing the war.
