Among the most targeted groups of Israel’s expanded war on Lebanon have been medical workers. Hezbollah’s Islamic Health Authority has been the hardest hit.
The founder of the far-right Oath Keepers said Monday that he is no longer part of the MAGA movement because of President Trumpâs war in Iran. While guest-hosting for conspiracy theorist Alex Jonesâs show, Stewart Rhodes lamented âthe obvious role of the influence of Zionism in our government, of the Israeli people, intelligence services, Mossad, and others in our government. âSo thatâs why I no longer call myself MAGA. I am an America-only patriot. Iâm a Christian nationalist, an American Christian nationalist. I have to open my eyes to the reality in front of my face, and itâs caused a division inside of MAGA, and itâs caused a division on the political right. But so be it,â Rhodes said. Rhodesâs 18-year sentence for seditious conspiracy on January 6, 2021, was commuted, not pardoned by Trump last year, and he plans to visit Mar-a-Lago on Friday at the invitation of the Republican Party chair of Palm Beach in the hopes of getting a pardon from the president.*âI canât let that shut me up about calling out what I see happening in our country,â Rhodes said. âAnd so if I lose my pardon because of that, then so be it. Thatâs where my mindâs at. And I think I owe that to everybody who ever swore the oath like I did.âItâs quite a revelation to see a January 6 insurrectionist break ranks with Trump. It goes to show that many of the presidentâs closest supporters believed his campaign pledge of no new wars, and arenât willing to give Trump the benefit of the doubt over Iran. Before Trump made the decision to bomb Iran, some on the right begged him to hold off, including commentators on Fox News. Now Rhodes and others on the right are abandoning MAGA. * This article previously misstated the length of Rhodesâs sentence.
