The Spectrum on Israel Accepted in the MAGA Movement (part three)

Part One     Part Two Starting with the worst of the positions on the spectrum on Israel in the MAGA movement, let’s say moving left to right in your mind’s eye, is, first, a virulent antisemitism, and, second, anti-Israel.  As I and I’m sure many others see it, the anti-Israel position, contrasted still from antisemitism, […]
