## Key points

- Antisemitic views are more common among younger Republican voters.
- Some on the American right oppose US support for Israel.
- Nationalist politics can combine pro-Israel rhetoric with antisemitism.

## Summary

Historian Suzanne Schneider argues that the American right is increasingly split over support for Israel, while antisemitic ideas are becoming more visible among some conservatives. She says this exposes a tension in nationalist politics: some figures praise Israel’s exclusionary policies while promoting beliefs that could marginalise Jewish people living elsewhere.

Schneider cites a 2025 Manhattan Institute poll in which 25% of Republican voters under 50 said they held antisemitic views, compared with 4% of those over 50. At the 2026 National Conservatism conference in Jerusalem, speakers warned of growing opposition to US involvement with Israel among younger conservatives; others blamed Jewish organisations and support for immigration for the hostility. The article links the shift to conspiratorial thinking and frustration over war, debt and economic decline.
