Liam Bartlett’s interview with Pauline Hanson on Spotlight was a disappointing exercise in gotcha journalism. Instead of probing her policy vision for Australia’s future immigration control, cultural cohesion, or One Nation’s platform, Bartlett fixated on dredging up decades old personal matters, her first husband’s opinions, and the 1996 “swamped... show more

![VDH Pointing At Megyn Kelly Morphing Into A Zombie: “They’ve Lost Their Minds” “It reminds me of all of these movies like The Invasion of the Body Snatchers or The Last of Us or The Walking Dead... you never really know who’s a zombie until they turn." Victor Davis Hanson, the historian and national speaker, addressed the evolving landscape of American attitudes toward Israel and antisemitism in a recent in today's episode of the Victor Davis Hanson In His Own Words, highlighting what he described as a troubling shift across the political spectrum. Hanson argued that while the Democratic Party and elements of the cultural left had long embraced antisemitic tendencies, certain voices on the right were now joining in, leaving staunch support for Israel primarily in the hands of former President Donald Trump and the MAGA base. Hanson traced the roots of the problem to the political left, noting that during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, and further intensified by diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, “they became anti-semitic.” In contrast, he emphasized, “It was the Republican party that stood up for Israel.”He expressed particular disappointment with figures once aligned with conservative or Republican circles who have recently voiced skepticism toward Israel. Citing Megyn Kelly as an example, Hanson recounted her public reflection: “I think I’ve been mistaken. And I might have been affected too much by people who were pro-Israel. And now I think we’ve been a little bit too hard on Islam and Netanyahu did this and Netanyahu did this.” Hanson grouped her alongside others including Steve Bannon, Candace Owens, and Tucker Carlson. Of Carlson, Hanson observed that the podcaster is “very informed” and “very bright,” yet still questions strong support for Israel despite knowing key historical threats. “He knows that Roth and Johnny said that Israel was a one bomb state. One bomb could kill all the Jews. He knows what Akmanagen Akminad [Ahmadinejad] said he wanted to wipe,” Hanson stated, adding pointedly, “Why would he say it would be helpful if Iran had a bomb?” Hanson noted the absence of forceful pushback within conservative circles. “There’s no party that says, ‘How dare you?’ They’re both in on it, their bases,” he said, referring to growing tolerance for anti-Israel rhetoric on both sides. Hanson contrasted this with the unexpected defenders of Jewish communities amid rising campus harassment and demonization: “The only people now in the United States who will stand up and say, ‘No more. We’re not going to let you demonize a whole people and push them around and rough them up on campus and call them all these names’ is who? It’s Donald Trump and the MAGA base, the irredeemables, the clingers. They’re the people who are still supporting Israel. They still support Jews and evangelicals.” Hanson explicitly rejected other factions as reliable allies. “It is not the Democratic Party. It is not the podcaster right base. It is not the DEI people. It is not the bicoastal leftwing elite teachers unions,” Hanson declared. To illustrate the sudden, widespread nature of the shift, he invoked pop-culture metaphors of infection and transformation. “It reminds me of all of these movies like The Invasion of the Body Snatchers or The Last of Us or The Walking Dead that certain people, you know, get infected and now they’re lost and they’re zombies and the other people, you never really know who’s a zombie until they turn,” he said. “Well, now they’re all turning and they’ve lost their minds.”](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2055099100073259458/amplify_video_thumb/2054917712187445248/img/v4evZ37N7DDNoxNg.jpg)
