That poll came months before socialist candidates, united by their opposition to Israel and America, won Democratic primaries in New York and Colorado and met with little protest from Democratic leaders.

The state of the GOP is a striking contrast to the anti-Israel sentiment that seems to be overtaking the Democratic Party. An April 2026 Pew Research poll found that 8 in 10 Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents have an unfavorable view of Israel, while just 4 percent of Muslims view Israel in a positive light.

The poll also found that Republican voters were supportive of the war in Iran by a whopping 59-point margin. But they remain focused on the economy and immigration: Asked to identify the biggest issue facing the country today, the cost of living, immigration, and jobs and the economy topped the list at 31 percent, 13 percent, and 12 percent, respectively.

Candidates who describe Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a war criminal, take steps to isolate Israel economically, and vote against congressional resolutions denouncing antisemitism are less popular. Respondents say they are less likely to back such candidates by margins of 25 points, 43 points, and 43 points, respectively.

The poll, which was conducted by Echelon Insights in early June and surveyed more than 1,100 likely GOP primary voters across the country, found that likely Republican primary voters prefer a candidate who supports a strong U.S.-Israel relationship by a margin of 57 percentage points. They also prefer a candidate who explicitly denounces antisemitism by 52 points.

Anti-Israel radicals are ascendant in the Democratic Party. Not so in the GOP, where primary voters remain deeply supportive of the Jewish state, a new Free Beacon poll finds.

Remember former CNN “chief national security correspondent” Alex Marquardt, who was canned from the network after he smeared a Navy veteran, refused to apologize, and then lost a multimillion-dollar defamation judgment? He has a new job hosting a show called “This Is America” for… the Qatari state-run Al Jazeera English channel.

Left-wing Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed recently said he was “honored” to earn the endorsement of the Dearborn-based Arab American Political Action Committee, led by an unabashed supporter of Hamas and Hezbollah who has called for Israeli Jews to be sent “back to Poland.”

The Times did not respond to a request for comment on Abdu’s remarks, questions about Euro-Med Monitor’s credibility, or its reliance on the CPJ’s slain journalists list for the Kristof piece and multiple other reports published by the outlet’s two newsrooms.

“While the Times’s public relations department has vigorously defended Kristof’s report, and the sources behind it, the outlet has declined to comment—or not responded to requests for comment—as both the CPJ and Euro-Med Monitor are picked apart by various media watchdog groups. Two senior Times employees are on the CPJ’s prestigious board of directors, including the anti-Israel polemicist Lydia Polgreen,” writes Kredo.

The post came two days before another primary source cited in the Kristof piece, the New York City-based Committee to Protect Journalists, announced a wholesale review of its list of journalists killed in Gaza, which has included dozens of confirmed terrorists. freebeacon.com/israel/commit…

He also said that the publication of Palestinian “obituary statements” listing the “slain journalists” as terrorists “serves the false Israeli narrative.”

Abdu, who has known ties to senior Hamas terrorists, acknowledged in his June 23 post that a “limited number” of “slain journalists had engaged in acts of resistance prior to their journalistic work—a right belonging to a people living under injustice and occupation, which no fair-minded person can deny.”

The Hamas-linked founder of the anti-Israel advocacy group Euro-Med Monitor is defending Gaza-based “journalists” who serve double duty as Hamas terrorists, writing in an Arabic-language Facebook post that it’s their “right” to engage “in acts of resistance.” The group, led by Ramy Abdu, happened to be a key source in New York Times columnist Nick Kristof’s outlandish May 11 piece accusing Israel of training dogs to rape Palestinians—and the Times won’t comment on Abdu’s remarks, @Kredo0 reports.
