While the summer slump struck Washington, influencers Maga can never really go on vacation, especially if they have spent their careers promising to reveal the truth about Jeffrey Epstein. Although their politicians are now in power, they become glasses and in the absence of juicy “Epstein files” to feed on their audience, a new discontent mechanism breaks, which involves much more than allegations in the ring of sexual trafficking of a pedophile. The complex ditch around the loyalists of Donald Trump and the pure and hard truths of Epstein can no longer be separated from the question of Israel, and as the days pass, the vocal criticism of the Israeli government becomes stronger inside the American right wing – something which was once unthinkable.
It should be noted that some of the most anti-Israeli voices on the right are simply open anti-Semites, and this uses the word in the most narrow sense possible. (For example, the white nationalist Nick Fuentes married the denial of the holocaust and praised Hitler.) It is also true, however, that Israel is currently engaged in an exceptional arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court for the Israeli Prime Minister, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin for the war crime as a Warfare method.
For the hardened anti-Semitic, the simple fact that Epstein was Jewish established a link between the so-called Epstein and Israel files; Elsewhere in the magists, major characters (like Tucker Carlson) advance the theory that the billionaire sex offender was an active in Mossad. (This theory is in part reinforced by long -standing rumors according to which the father of Ghislaine Maxwell was a Mossad agent.)
The faction highlighting both Epstein and Israel is either non -ideological (like Theo von, which pressed JD Vance on Epstein files and questioned “why we [America] Support Israel ”), deeply populist and / or conspirator, and sometimes a combination of these categories. The two most recent podcasts of Tucker Carlson, for example, were deeply plunged into the history of Epstein and strong criticism of Israeli military strikes on Christian churches in Gaza – just weeks after having referenced the cover of the theory of Epstein Mossad to the Tpusa conference. Epstein is developing this week this week and organized a debate with Fuentes on Wednesday in which he qualified the Trump administration as “absolute failure”.
But shocking, the faction that tried to support Trump while soaring their audience also pivoted: the representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Maga Megastar who somehow balances Trump with her frequent anti -Semitism, went even further and called Netanyahu’s actions a “genocide”. Matt Gaetz and Steve Bannon, whose Epstein Waxes and Wanes messaging, recently described the Gaza situation of political responsibility for Trump.
As an event of news, it is impossible to ignore the occupation by Netanyahu of Gaza and the subsequent humanitarian crisis, and how it is far from the feeling of the Americans towards the State of Israel, now to historical stockings. Trump himself broke in particular with Netanyahu on Monday, telling journalists that he did not believe that the Prime Minister’s assertions that children were not hungry in Gaza. “Based on television … These children look very hungry,” said Trump, adding later: “I see it, and you can’t simulate this.” Although little clear if they would have started to criticize Israel if Trump had not done it first, the pivot of influencers was inevitable if we look at the changing attitudes of the demography of the fight against the podcast.
A PEW survey published last year revealed that only half of the young republican men between 18 and 34 years old were sympathetic to the actions of Israel, while the other half was either opposite or uncertain – a shocking statistics compared to the older Republicans, which massively supported Israel. This has not improved since: a Gallup survey published on Tuesday revealed that if the majority of self-identified Republicans continued to support Israel’s actions in Gaza, 51% of men, 54% of whites and 82% of people aged 18 to 34.
Maintaining a good relationship with Maga influencers is a fairly different dynamic than maintaining their alliance with Fox News
For the Trump team and the republican party as a whole, it becomes clearer than maintaining a good relationship with influencers Maga is a fairly different dynamic than maintaining their alliance with Fox News. Only one influencer is held responsible for his audience and the commentary section, while if a speaking head of Renard becomes Voyou, the White House can call Rupert Murdoch – whose media Empire, and in particular the fox, needs access to the White House – and group them. (By the way, during last week, according to a Media Matters analysis published Thursday, Fox News spent three cumulative minutes talking about Epstein and 85 minutes to talk about the controversy in Sydney Sweeney denim.))
Even if the Trump administration establishes a symbiotic relationship with a few Influencers, in the hope that they parrot Trump’s line on Epstein (or Israel), they can see that their power to persuade is so far. A recent example of the manosphere demonstrates the limit of an influencer to, well, to the influence: earlier this month, the Nelk Boys, two Canadian right-wing Canadian podcasters, published an interview with Netanyahu, whose government (and, by extension, Israel) has become more and more unpopular with younger Americans because of its actions in Gaza. It turned completely over: their audience immediately started to accuse the two of the platform of a genocidal Zionist, becoming ballistic when the hosts admitted that the Israeli government has fed them questions and aroused criticism from the left Streamer Hasan Piker And Nick Fuentes during the same Livestream. Their YouTube channel has lost more than 20,000 subscribers since the interview’s publication, according to Social Blade.
But Being on the White House’s Good Side Does Have Its Benefits Even If One Loses Followers: Laura Loomer, One of the Loudest Voices Calling for Epstein Documents, has recently Dialed Down Her Trutherism and Intetead Clung Harder to the White House’s Official continued support on Israel: Criticizing Zohran Mamdani, The Current Democrat Nominee in the New York City Mayoral Race, She annoudéd that She would never “Feel Safe with Muslims occupied an office in America” and that she did not care who she offended. “That is why I will never care about Gaza” Unconditional loyalty has its advantages: Loomer has been recognized for convinced Trump to draw more than a dozen officials for perceived Maga disloyalty.
