Shapiro&#8217;s show \u200cis featured on the\u2063 Daily Wire, a \u200bnews service co-founded by Carlson. However, since the\u200b brutal attack on Israel, Shapiro, an Orthodox Jew, has\u200b had\u200d little patience for those who have called for restraint in\u200b Israel&#8217;s retaliation.<\/p>\n<p>Shapiro took aim at Carlson after his interview with Vivek Ramaswamy, where Carlson \u2062compared America&#8217;s drug crisis to what happened in Israel. Shapiro played a clip \u2063of the interview, pointing out that the video playing alongside \u200cCarlson showed Hamas kidnapping a woman.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s showing video of their rape, as he&#8217;s talking about it,&#8221; Shapiro exclaimed. &#8220;To go this far \u2064afield to link these issues \u2014 \u200dthe only reason you&#8217;re doing \u2064this is you wish to\u200b downplay the atrocity that just happened in Israel.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Shapiro \u200dcontinued to criticize Carlson, stating that \u200cthe deaths of\u2062 drug addicts from imported illegal substances are not the\u2063 same as \u2062the terrorist acts committed by Hamas. He expressed his\u2062 frustration with Carlson&#8217;s perspective and accused him of playing a &#8220;dumb game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Shapiro \u200dtook to social media \u2064to further express\u200c his disdain for those condemning Israel&#8217;s\u2064 retaliation,\u200c highlighting the biased media coverage of the conflict.<\/p>\n<p>This divide amongst conservative allies has not gone unnoticed, with one commentator remarking that it is a clear sign of the current\u200d state of Republicanism.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>A Note from Our Staff:<\/h3>\n<p><em><b>Did you \u200dknow that 90 percent of advertisers will have nothing to do with The \u2062Western Journal?

Many conservatives have a\u200c strong pro-Israel stance, viewing \u200cIsrael as an important ally in the Middle East and supporting its \u200dright \u200dto defend \u2064itself \u2062against\u200d terrorist attacks. On the other hand, there are \u2062some conservatives who argue for a more measured\u2063 approach, advocating for diplomatic solutions and \u2064expressing concerns about civilian casualties.<\/p>\n<p>The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has long been a complicated\u200d and contentious issue, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-blasts-appalling-assault-against-israel-by-hamas-terrorists\/\" title=\"Biden condemns Hamas' 'appalling assault' on Israel.\">deep-rooted historical<\/a>, religious, and\u200b political complexities. It is\u2063 no surprise that this complex conflict has \u2064led to divisions among allies, even within the conservative movement.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is important to\u2064 remember \u2064that differing opinions and debates are \u2063a healthy part of any democracy. While it may be disheartening to witness a divide among allies, it is a testament \u2064to the \u2064diversity of perspectives\u2064 within\u2063 the conservative \u2063movement and the willingness to\u2062 question and challenge ideas.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, it is\u2064 crucial \u2064for \u200cconservatives \u2063to engage in respectful\u200d and constructive \u200ddialogue, seeking to understand different\u200b viewpoints and \u200dfind common\u200b ground. Only through open and honest discussions can we hope to \u2062bridge the gaps and work towards peaceful \u200cresolutions in the \u2064Israeli-Palestinian conflict.<\/p>\n<p>The war in Israel has not only deepened divisions among Middle-Eastern nations \u2063but\u2063 has also revealed a divide amongst allies across \u200cthe \u2062globe, including \u2062within the conservative movement. It is now\u200b more important than ever\u2062 for all sides to come together,\u200b to \u200clisten, to learn, and to seek common \u2062ground.
