PNN – Continued aid to the Israeli regime has exasperated even American right-wingers, who are now explicitly stating that they have grown weary of the situation.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network; the newspaper Haaretz reported on a conference held in Jerusalem—attended by American right-wing figures—noting that the attendees were shocked by the speeches delivered. The American speakers, who are also supporters of Donald Trump, declared that the United States has grown tired of the costly and bloody wars in the Middle East, and that the Jews (Israelis) need to recognize their limits.
A section of the report states: Right-wing nationalist thinkers and prominent figures within the ideological movement of U.S. President Donald Trump have arrived in Jerusalem to attend an unprecedented conference.
The messages delivered from the conference podium took the attendees by surprise: Jews occupy a minor position within the right-wing coalition, having been supplanted by Evangelical Christians; the Holocaust no longer serves as a moral pretext (to justify any crime or action); the United States has no desire to enter another war in the Middle East; and the patience of young Americans regarding Israel is wearing thin.
One of the speakers declared, “Every member of the coalition must know where they stand.” While Israeli speakers at the conference asserted that sovereignty over the settlements is more important to them than the alliance with Washington, the American guests issued an unequivocal warning regarding Israel’s actions, stating that the U.S. is already raising questions—and it is far from certain that the answers will be what Israel wishes to hear.
According to Haaretz, senior leaders of the “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) movement have warned that the United States is weary of costly and bloody wars in the Middle East.
On the afternoon of October 7, while many Israelis across (occupied Palestine) were attending memorial ceremonies, William Wolfe took the main stage at the National Building in Jerusalem to deliver a speech titled “American Right-Wing: The Next Generation.”
Wolfe, a Baptist nationalist who served in the Pentagon during the Trump administration, did not shy away from the controversial topic of the day.
He was not, however, referring to the massacre that took place three years ago, which claimed the lives of over a thousand Israelis; rather, he was speaking about himself—and the controversy surrounding his entry into Israel.
Before the conference, he said with a smile: I was labeled all sorts of things—a Nazi, an antisemite, a proponent of Zionism… and now here I am, in Israel. Being a Nazi is certainly a strange thing.
All of this served as a prelude to a speech whose primary objective was to clarify one point for Jews—and Israelis in particular: America has grown weary of its long-standing alliance with Israel.
He stated: I respect those who argue that things should happen simply because they are written in the Bible; however, in reality, this logic is no longer valid.
Many young people on the right are puzzled to see members of Congress keeping the Israeli flag displayed in their offices year-round. They are raising questions.
The conference lasted for three days, but the session in which Wolfe participated stirred strong emotions among many of those present. Even some members of the Kohelet Forum who were in the audience were shocked by these remarks.
The conference organizer stated that one participant “could not control himself” and, in response to his comments, was asked to leave the venue.
Attendees questioned why Evangelical Christians were being sidelined in favor of Jews and Catholics. The conference speakers went to great lengths to explain to the Jewish audience just how limited and insignificant their standing is in the eyes of Trump’s supporters.
William Wolfe, a Baptist nationalist and former senior Pentagon official, emphasized that America is weary of Middle East wars, noting that young people are asking why the Israeli flag is flying in Congress. Matthew Peterson, a prominent figure in the “Make America Great Again” movement, also stated that Christianity does not mandate blind support for Israel.
These speeches—the central message of which was “Enough already; stop complaining”—sparked controversy even outside the conference. For instance, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz wrote in a disparaging tone on social media: Americans—especially those on the right—are fed up with attempts to downplay the Holocaust. They are disgusted by Hamas supporters. And they loathe conspiracy theories about Jews.
James Lindsay, a conservative author and researcher, reacted more bluntly: I was naive to think that, on October 7th, they wouldn’t parade a bunch of American fools out to give speeches… what a surprise.
The National Conservatism Conference—established about a decade ago at the initiative of Israeli-American scholar Yoram Hazony with the stated goal of creating a network of far-right figures, nationalists, and hardliners—has been held multiple times in the United States and the United Kingdom. Last week, the conference arrived in Israel—specifically, in Jerusalem—for the first time.
Participants included Poles, Hungarians, Americans, Britons, Spaniards, and Italians; they had all gathered to engage in dialogue, chatting with one another over cups of coffee and around the buffet tables.
One of the first prominent speakers at the gathering was Jonathan Kibberman—a former educator who had published works under the pseudonym “Loomis,” in which he advocated for German nationalists, white supremacists, and monarchist conservatives. His true identity was only revealed in 2024, following an investigation by The Guardian*
At a session also attended by Wolff, Kibberman—before launching into a harsh critique of Israel—emphasized his own Jewish identity. Like other participants at the event, he cited opinion polls indicating a generational divide and growing dissatisfaction with Israel among young people.
Israel is in the spotlight due to its overly interventionist foreign policy. Wars in the Middle East have benefited Israel while imposing heavy costs on the United States—yielding no benefits whatsoever for the American people. All these factors have contributed to Israel’s growing unpopularity among the political right.
The term “Judeo-Christian” was invoked repeatedly at the Jerusalem Conference, including during a panel discussion on the next generation in America.
Nevertheless, the grievances voiced from the podium made it clear to those in attendance that the alliance between the two sides could potentially unravel.
Matthew Peterson, a scholar at the Claremont Institute and a prominent voice for the “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) movement among Trump supporters, spoke more bluntly than others: The very idea that the United States owes a debt to the State of Israel is offensive.
He added: Pro-Israel Republicans have grown tired of this argument. They have asked me to make this clear: they do not believe that their Christianity obligates them to support Israel blindly.
This is a form of self-aggrandizement. They do have a religious connection to the Holy Land, but if you rely solely on this approach, you will reach a dead end.
The discussion did not focus solely on the religious bond—a connection that is now being called into question. The speakers expressed intense anger toward Jews who point to antisemitism or who use the Holocaust to justify any political action (or crime) in the twenty-first century.
According to Kiberman, American right-wingers have grown skeptical of this strategic partnership. They are tired of the Holocaust—or Jewish suffering in general—being used to justify a moral obligation to support Israel. This is a discussion that should no longer be a taboo subject.
