JD Vance: Blaming Israel Won't Save Republicans in 2028 | Nitsana

Blaming Israel is easy. Winning back voters is harder. Following the Republicans' 2026 midterm election defeats, Vice President JD Vance pointed to the Iran war and voter dissatisfaction with America's relationship with Israel as reasons for the party's losses. Shurat HaDin President Nitsana Darshan-Leitner challenges that explanation, arguing that Vance and other Republican leaders must take responsibility for their own political choices. She criticizes Vance's alignment with the GOP's anti-Israel wing and the rhetoric of commentators Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, warning that this approach risks deepening divisions within the Republican Party and alienating Jewish voters and donors. With the 2028 presidential election approaching, Nitsana asks whether blaming Israel will only deepen the GOP's political challenges. ▶️ Subscribe to Shurat HaDin for more commentary on Israel, antisemitism and accountability. 🌐 https://israellawcenter.org/ #JDVance #Midterms #Israel
