| | True, but I'm talking in terms of things like foreign aid, intervention, etc. I myself am not a "free Palestine" person, I think they are terrible and I do not really hold anything against Israel and believe they have a right to self-defense, but generally, Zionism is regarded as less of a paleoconservative belief and more of a neoconservative one. I could see the Republican establishment spitting on Israel when they defend themselves against Palestine, but people like Dan Crenshaw and Nikki Haley (both neocons) have fought for Israel and want increased funding to Israel. Also, in regards to Trump moving the embassy to Jersusalem, it should be noted Jared Kushner had a lot to do with it and the aforementioned Nikki Haley strongly backed it while UN ambassador, so it could go both ways there. I personally believe that Jersusalem should be Israel's capital, though it's not really a high priority for me as a conservative. So yes, emphasization of Zionism is a neoconservative trait, and I personally think that is why the GOP establishment has been going crazy over the Israel-Hamas fight when we had the gas shortage a few weeks ago, which was a much more important priority to our country than that. I just find Zionism inconsistent with an "America First" foreign policy approach, which is why I am against it. -[[User:Mr. Nationalist|Mr. Nationalist]] ([[User talk:Mr. Nationalist|talk]]) 21:24, June 2, 2021 (EDT) | | True, but I'm talking in terms of things like foreign aid, intervention, etc. I myself am not a "free Palestine" person, I think they are terrible and I do not really hold anything against Israel and believe they have a right to self-defense, but generally, Zionism is regarded as less of a paleoconservative belief and more of a neoconservative one.
