Pretty much every morning you wake up and open your phone and think to yourself, I wonder if this roiling fight on the right is still ongoing, the fight over who's a Nazi and who's Nazi adjacent and who should be platformed and who should be deplatformed, that fight, the one that has mesmerized X users across the world.
What is that fight actually about and how long will it continue?
Well, the first thing to know about it is that it didn't start three weeks ago with Nick Fuentes' appearance on a podcast.
No, this has been a fight taking place mostly behind the scenes since January.
And that tells you a lot about what it's actually about.
So here's how it began.
Donald Trump inaugurated January 22nd of this year.
Almost immediately after, he is visited at the White House by the first head of state to come to Washington, the prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu.
And the visit is not simply a congratulatory visit.
They're not actually allies in any sense.
Remember that Benjamin Netanyahu is one of the very first to congratulate Joe Biden after the 2020 election.
So there's probably not a lot of warmth there, just guessing.
No, there was a purpose to the visit and the subsequent visits by the prime minister of Israel to Washington.
And that was to get American support for regime change war in Iran to overthrow and replace the government of Iran, which the nation of Israel sees as its primary regional threat.
Iran has all kinds of very dangerous conventional weapons.
The United States spends a lot protecting Israel from those missiles.
And Israel is also concerned that at some point, Iran will either make or buy a nuclear weapon.
leaving Israel no longer the only nuclear-armed nation in the region.
So that's what it's actually about.
And to be honest, you can see from Israel's point of view, if you're trying to identify long-term serious threats to you, Iran would be at or near the top of the list, especially since Israel has taken out almost all the other threats.
