Video Description:
At a Turning Point USA event, libertarian Dave Smith got big applause from the conservative audience by declaring that Israel is not an ally of the United States, arguing that the Jewish state manipulates U.S. policy toward unnecessary conflict and exploits American support. His critique — echoed by figures like Tucker Carlson — marks a noticeable shift among younger conservatives, who are increasingly rejecting traditional pro-Israel positions held by influencers like Ben Shapiro and Charlie Kirk.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger talk about how Zionism has morphed into a censorious, authoritarian ideology, replacing the very "woke" tactics conservatives once criticized. They conclude by suggesting that recent events, including the October 7 attacks and Israel's response, have permanently altered public perception and fractured bipartisan support for Israel in the U.S.
