Anti-Israel commentators from all sides of spectrum lament Republican Massie’s primary loss

Anti-Israel and anti-Zionist commentators from the far left, the far right and Middle Eastern groups lament Republican Thomas Massie’s loss in a primary election this week.

Massie is one of the Republican Party’s only anti-Israel representatives.

“Thomas Massie’s primary defeat is the saddest political development in a long time,” far-right commentator Tucker Carlson says, accusing a “globalist lobby” of orchestrating Massie’s loss.

“Globalist” is sometimes a dog whistle for Jews and anti-Israel commentators fixate on the pro-Israel lobby in the US.

“Thomas Massie was the standalone, lone voice, and lone vote against funding Israel” in the party, says the far-left Hasan Piker.

“I don’t agree with Thomas Massie on 98% of issues,” he says, “and yet on this one issue he showed integrity and he was punished for it.”

The Palestinian Youth Movement says Massie “consistently opposed aid packages to Israel.”

“Consequently, the Zionist lobby spent record amounts of money to unseat Massie,” the group says. “Tuesday night’s results show us just how dangerous the Zionist lobby remains on the US political scene.”

The far left, the far right and Middle Eastern groups represent the three pillars of the anti-Zionist movement in the US.

The three movements agree on little besides their shared antipathy to Israel.
