MAGA Divides Grow as Israel War Intensifies

The Israel-Hamas war has fractured MAGA supporters, dividing conservatives on how the United States should respond to the escalating conflict that has claimed more than 4,000 Israeli and Palestinian lives in the last nine days.

Republicans have long been more united in their support of Israel than Democrats, but an increasing sympathy for Palestinians is popping up among those on the right, as well.

While many conservatives have been steadfast in supporting the Israeli government, several MAGA supporters have spoken against U.S. support for Israel since the fighting began on October 7, when Hamas led the deadliest Palestinian militant attack on Israel in history.

Israel subsequently launched heavy airstrikes on Gaza and warned that it's preparing for a ground invasion as a humanitarian crisis grows in the Palestinian territory. Nearly 2,800 people have been killed in Gaza, according to the Associated Press. More than 1,400 Israelis have been killed, the AP reported.
