Nick Fuentes lays out what his foreign policy will look like once Groypers take power:
“I would do regime change in Israel, I would install a puppet in Israel working for the US government, and I would hold them back.” pic.twitter.com/z7Iita6ODf

This is noteworthy because Fuentes and the “Groypers” are growing significantly in influence on the right. Yet here, Fuentes is contradicting positions that the putative America-First movement has taken in the past. They claim to want to avoid foreign entanglements, yet here is Fuentes saying he will topple a duly-elected leader and put one in his place who is more to the liking of the U.S. government. He is also saying he will hold Israel back, which means he will be actively aiding the advancing Islamic jihad. He doesn’t know or doesn’t care that the jihad envisions the conquest and subjugation not just of Jews, but of Christians as well.

I think it’s fair to bet that if “Groypers” hypothetically ever take power, Israel won’t have any political party that looks even remotely favorably at them. If anything, they’ll treat a President Fuentes the same way that they treated President Biden – as a problem to be managed. Also, if Israel attains self-sufficiency in arms production, that US influence to be able to hold back Israel would be gone. Also, unlike Trump, who did great things for Israel not only in his first term but in this term, got the return of all the surviving hostages, there is nothing that Fuentes promises to do for Israel to make Jerusalem even consider taking US inputs as non-hostile
Also, I get that he hates Jews, but why can’t he simply stop at saying that his government will simply butt out of the Middle East and take no sides in this conflict. Instead, he’s promising that everytime Israel is hit w/ any attack, he’ll pull them back. Also, how does he plan to install a US puppet when Israel is a democracy w/ well established institutions, just like the US? Do an armed takeover of that country, suspend their constitution and then install a viceroy there? If he were to try it, it would make the Vietnam War look like a picnic in summer
Problem w/ the groypers is that they don’t have the numbers to produce a victory for anybody, but they do seem to have the numbers to deny someone a victory. Which is the annoying aspect of all these fringe movements
Heidi says
You’re correct on most counts but Israel doesn’t have a constitution unfortunately. David Ben Gurion had decided it wasn’t necessary.

I’d guess Israel attaining self-sufficiency in arms production is highly unlikely. The raw materials that go into the manufacture of modern jet fighters, missiles and a blue water navy might well be out of Israel’s reach. Even the infrastructure required to produce such weapons in quantity might not exist.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
On the contrary, they have a pretty thriving arms industry. All that they need is to increase their own production capacity. Or they can offshore some of that manufacturing to India, or buy those weaponry from them
Taffy says
One of Israel’s internal problems is they do not have a constitution. Instead rule is established by a coalition government that is constantly in danger of collapse when significant disagreements occur. Israeli politics is an utter mess. The only thing that holds the country together is the common defense need. And drafting a constitution that would be acceptable to most, would be a difficult task.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Don’t they have a constitution? From where does the Knesset, or Israel’s Judiciary, or even Executive, get their powers?
Taffy says
I needed the help of ChatGPT for this one:
Short answer: No — Israel does not have a single, formal written constitution.
Longer answer:
When Israel was founded in 1948, it intended to draft a constitution, but political disagreements—especially over religion and state—prevented the adoption of one unified document. Instead, Israel created a series of “Basic Laws”, passed by the Knesset (parliament), beginning in 1958.
These Basic Laws function collectively as Israel’s de facto constitution. They govern:
• The structure of government (Knesset, presidency, courts, etc.)
• Civil rights and liberties (e.g., Basic Law: Human Dignity and Liberty)
• The role of the military
• Jerusalem’s status
• Separation of powers
In 1995, the Israeli Supreme Court confirmed that the Basic Laws have constitutional status, meaning courts can strike down legislation that contradicts them.
So:
✔️ Israel has constitutional law
❌ Israel does not have a single, formal constitutional document like the U.S. Constitution
If you want, I can give a list or summary of each Basic Law.

No, what you wrote was adequate. Thanks for the explanation

Fuentes lives in a Fantasy Land . . .
a wanna-be fascist who thinks his idiotic reasoning and opinions matter to anyone but the Intellectually Challenged.

࿗Infidel࿘ says
Problem is that in this divided electorate, he has enough of a following to deny one side a victory. Even if his followers can’t win over either party on their own
KufarDawg says
That’s an ugly and apt observation.
