Debate over "loyalty" in the Trumpist camp..

The pro-Israel hawks in America are in a veritable race to prevent U.S. President Donald Trump from pulling back before bringing Iran to heel. The Israel Lobby, meanwhile, appears to have launched a political lynching campaign against those in the Trumpist camp who oppose war with Iran. Of course, this campaign also implicitly targets U.S. Vice President JD Vance.

During his visit to Israel last October, Vance’s decision not to go to the Western Wall in Jerusalem disturbed Zionist circles. When American politicians visit Jerusalem, posing at the Western Wall is seen as a sign of absolute support for Israel. Instead of the Western Wall, Vance visited the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, a site of great importance to Christians. Yet, about a month before Vance, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, upon arriving in Jerusalem, made a point of donning a Jewish kippah and visiting the Western Wall for photos.

Vance is known for being distant from America’s endless wars and Neocon policies. It is also said that Vance opposes a ground war with Iran. However, Vance, who is expected to run for President in 2028, avoids expressing this stance openly in public.

The Israel Lobby and Christian Zionists, for their part, are producing content targeting Vance through Tucker Carlson, one of the fiercest opponents of the Iran war. In pro-Israel media, there is propaganda suggesting that Carlson and his allies receive support from the Vice President’s office. This propaganda is interpreted as an attempt to undermine Vance’s candidacy prematurely.

Republican Senator Ted Cruz and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are among the Israel Lobby’s favorites. Behind the scenes, the Lobby is trying to pave the way for Rubio’s candidacy. Of course, Ted Cruz also wants to get on the list by showcasing his absolute support for Israel at every opportunity.

Mark Levin, a Jewish Neocon from Fox News, has opened war on Tucker Carlson. Intense clashes took place between Levin and Carlson in the lead-up to war with Iran. In fact, Levin claimed in a post on X that Carlson wields influence in the Vice President’s office. Buckley Carlson, Tucker’s son, was Vance’s deputy press secretary. Buckley Carlson resigned from that position last month and left Vance’s team.

Another figure targeted by pro-Israel circles within the Trump administration is Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence. Laura Loomer, a hardcore pro-Israel activist and one of the people close to Trump’s ear, has emerged as the main actor in the campaign against Gabbard.

Loomer is making an intense effort to get Trump to fire Gabbard. Loomer argues that Gabbard is the person behind Joe Kent, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) who resigned in protest of the Iran war. According to backstage information in U.S. media, Trump gave up on firing Gabbard after Roger Stone stepped in.

Roger Stone, known for his loyalty to Trump, and Loomer are engaged in heated arguments. In his article last month titled "The Tragedy of Laura Loomer," Stone pointed out that his former friend Loomer had become a supporter of an all-out attack on Iran. According to Stone, Loomer has deviated from the ‘Trumpist line’ by joining the Neocon wing of the Republican Party.

Saying that he suspects Loomer is being backed by wealthy American Zionist donors, Stone included striking details about a conversation with a journalist friend. According to this, Loomer told the journalist about Mossad’s detailed plans for Venezuela. Stone said, "If true, this once again raises the question of who Loomer really works for — an issue she has so far failed to address."

Stating that he was forced to expose Loomer’s real role, Stone continued:

"It is doubtful that Loomer will be satisfied unless President Trump refrains from sending American soldiers into the field, avoids a war with Iran that would cost tens of thousands of American lives, and fails to create billions of dollars in new defense contracts for companies like Halliburton and General Dynamics. Frankly, I don’t think that is President Trump’s plan. However, at this point, it is abundantly clear that the leader Loomer is most loyal to is not Donald Trump, but Benjamin Netanyahu."

While the state of ‘non-conflict’ between the U.S. and Iran continues for now, the debates within the Trump camp are expected to intensify further in the coming days. Because Israel and its close allies in America are pressing Trump to continue fighting Iran — including a ground war.
