Much has been written about how the Israel/Palestine conflict is dividing the left, but the
same is true of the right. Tucker Carlson’s interview with the antisemitic critic of Israel Nick
Fuentes has created an intense debate on the right about anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism,
currently playing itself out in turmoil at the Heritage Foundation. I spoke with the historian
David Austin Walsh, whose bookTaking America Back: The Conservative Movement and the Far
