In this episode of The Western Spirit, Ariel Whitman sits down with political commentator, author, and longtime radio host Larry Elder for a powerful conversation about the shifting attitudes toward Israel in the United States.
For decades, support for Israel was bipartisan. Today, that consensus is breaking down — not only on the left, but increasingly among younger conservatives as well.
What changed?
Larry Elder explains why support for Israel is collapsing among key demographics, how misinformation and ideological frameworks are distorting reality, and why many Americans can no longer distinguish between allies and enemies.
We discuss:
*The collapse of bipartisan support for Israel in the U.S.
*Why younger Americans are turning against Israel
*The influence of media, ideology, and misinformation
*The rise of anti-Israel sentiment in both parties
*The failure to distinguish between “firefighters and arsonists”
*DEI, race politics, and their impact on foreign policy
*Whether America is heading toward a post-Israel political era
Larry Elder argues that Israel is not just another foreign policy issue — it is a test case for Western civilization itself.
This is a direct, unfiltered conversation about politics, truth, and the future of America’s alliance with Israel.
