The Divisions Within Conservative Politics Regarding Foreign Aid to Israel

This chapter explores the divisions within conservative politics regarding foreign aid to Israel and the issue of free speech. It highlights how the American conservative movement has defined itself as supporting an America first foreign policy, while simultaneously demanding that American taxpayers fund the wars and military of Israel. The chapter also discusses the contradiction between the American right's strong defense of free speech in most cases, but their abandonment of this principle when it comes to criticism of Israel, supporting censorship instead.
