If you read my material or have watched my content, you are probably aware that I tend to focus on opinions that clash with my own rather than on those that agree with me. Recently I wrote a critique of Tucker Carlson’s interview with Rev. Munther Isaac, a Palestinian Christian preacher and anti-Israel activist. Recently Tucker interviewed another guest Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), who is also painted by the media as anti-Israel. But this is only true if one is a superficial observer incapable of reading between the lines. Massie has made it clear that he does not support foreign aid for any foreign country, whether it is Israel or not. He has opposed bills like the Antisemitism Awareness Act, and rightly so because they curtail free speech and/or they actually would not be effective in solving the issue anyway. In the recent primaries in Kentucky, AIPAC heavily backed Massie’s political opponent, which led to a whopping victory with a 75.9% vote share for Massie.
In his interview with Tucker, he made several statements that are interesting: “No I don’t [hate Israel], I don’t like AIPAC anymore”, “everybody but me has an AIPAC person”.
The problem with AIPAC and institutional Jewish groups is that they can’t brook any dissent. It isn’t OK for their policies to win by more than 400 votes in the House of Representatives. No, it must be a unanimous vote of 435-0, or else the chamber is tainted with anti-Semitism. Even if their disagreement is for a different reason. This reductive logic is not fighting Jew hatred, it is creating it. And it is all in the name of preserving the “special relationship” and keeping Israel and the US co-dependent. This is how we got to the point where despite almost $4 billion in US aid going to Israel annually they still failed to prevent October 7. Those with real foresight should recognize that like him or not Massie is right, and AIPAC is wrong, even if you don’t like his motivations.

Making new enemies is AIPAC's way of "defending Israel".
