    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    While conventional wisdom has long held that Republicans, and particularly evangelicals, are the staunchest allies of Israel in the U.S., the latest bloody exchanges between the state and Hamas militants have revealed fault lines in that critical base of support.

    For instance, Islamophobic conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer and pro-Russia MAGA influencer Jackson Hinkle, who mere weeks ago appeared to have a friendly relationship on X (formerly Twitter), are now sniping at each other over the conflict.

    But that doesn’t sit well with others on the right, like Elijah Schaffer, a podcaster and writer for Gateway Pundit, who on Wednesday described one of Shapiro’s tweets as a “call for genocide” against the Palestinian people, comparing it to the Nazi rhetoric of Adolf Hitler.

    This particular post resurfaced on Gab, a “free speech” social media platform rife with antisemitic extremism, where failed Senate candidate Sam Parker used it as a pretext to declare that Shapiro is an agent of the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad.

    Shaprio has also sparred here and there with red-pill mansophere influencer and alleged human trafficker Andrew Tate, who has accused Israel of committing war crimes and the American right of “screaming for genocide” against the Palestinian people.

    Looming in the background of all this infighting — and perhaps the only far-right operator who relishes the idea of a Republican schism over Israel — is Nick Fuentes, the Hitler-loving white supremacist whose “groyper” troll army pushes an ultranationalist “America First” agenda.
