Evangelical backing for Israel, long a pillar of right-leaning politics, is showing cracks, especially among younger conservatives. Pastor Jackson Lahmeyer says online debate has shifted as influencers like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens question the US Israel relationship; Carlson recently hosted white nationalist Nick Fuentes while disputing some of his antisemitic claims. Pollsters report steep drops in sympathy for Israel among Republicans under 50 and evangelicals aged 18-34. Scholars warn that waning support could endanger US aid, even as Christian Zionists remain Israel's most organized American allies.
