Netanyahu Sees That.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel is racing to eliminate regional threats because he sees that U.S. support for the country is collapsing, Mona Charen, the policy editor at The Bulwark, argues on \u201cThe Opinions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-8hvvyd\">There\u2019s a pincer movement where you have people on the progressive left who despise Israel because they consider it a settler colonialist imposition on the Middle East that is the cat\u2019s paw for imperialism in the West. And then you have the hatred of Israel and, frankly, and of Jews, coming from the hard right in the United States. The Tucker Carlsons and so forth, who are influencing the younger generation of Republicans. And so the hatred for Israel is coming from both sides. And Netanyahu seems to have made a calculation that he\u2019s aware of this declining support for Israel in the United States. And he seems to be saying, yep, in the future, we\u2019re not going to have the U.S. And so we\u2019re going to go for everything right now while we\u2019ve got Trump. Try to get everything done, eliminate Iran as a threat, eliminate Hezbollah, Hamas. And then we will be secure and we won\u2019t have to worry about American good opinion. So you\u2019re saying the loss of some American support has the perverse effect of creating more, a greater complaint against Israel in the United States. It\u2019s very possible.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/30opinions-theconversation-clipimage-jumbo.png\" data-testid=\"betamax-poster\"   fetchpriority=\"high\" class=\"_poster_13tnt_20\"\/>Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel is racing to eliminate regional threats because he sees that U.S. support for the country is collapsing, Mona Charen, the policy editor at The Bulwark, argues on \u201cThe Opinions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By Mona Charen<\/p>\n<p>March 30, 2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"new video loaded: Support for Israel Is Collapsing.
