When Defending Israel Backfires: Are We Pushing Our Last Friends Away? With Karys Rhea

In this episode of Ami’s House, we sit down with journalist Karys Rhea to ask a hard question: Are we alienating the last allies Israel has left on the American Right? From the rise of “woke right” factions, to the fallout of October 7, to the mainstreaming of antisemitism in conservative spaces — we explore how the pro-Israel camp risks losing support from its own friends. We get into Tucker, Candace, Megyn Kelly, Charlie Kirk, and the usefulness of the term "antisemitic."

This is not just about politics — it’s about whether Israel’s defenders can hold their coalition together without pushing people away.
