It's not news that the prevalent strains of bigotry and #Islamophobia that permeate segments of the global right-wing have proven advantageous for #Israel's interests, despite the undercurrent of antisemitic sentiment that often accompanies such ideologies. This paradox is exemplified by the continuing belief among most nationalist Israelis that Trump's policies were beneficial for the Jewish state, despite his cultivation of support from factions that espouse overtly antisemitic views.
A case in point is Mark Robinson, the Republican nominee for Governor of North Carolina, who secured his party's nomination with the backing of Trump's #MAGA base and evangelical Christian supporters, many of whom profess their support for Israel. However, Robinson himself has made controversial statements that seem antithetical to such support, including denying the #Holocaust, opposing abortion rights, and opposing #LGBTQ rights.
