A conservative commentator reported on Monday that a prominent Jewish right-winger who actively supports President Donald Trump is being harassed by anti-Semitic far right elements \u2014 and embarrassed himself trying to fight back.<\/p>\n

After The Daily Wire head Ben Shapiro recently hired a so-called expert debater named Mat Nuclear, \u201cShapiro made clear that Nuclear\u2019s main mission was to take down white nationalist Nick Fuentes,\u201d wrote The Bulwark\u2019s Will Sommer on Monday. \u201cAnd Nuclear seemed all in. In another video last week with Daily Wire hosts, he had said Fuentes was part of an anti-Western civilization coalition with a \u2018hyperfixation on Israel.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Sommer added that \u201cthe longstanding feud between Fuentes and Shapiro is clearly ideological. But some of the motivation here may also be economics. The Daily Wire has been battered by overspending and the loss of personalities like Brett Cooper and Candace Owens, both of whom have since turned on Shapiro. Most importantly, Shapiro has struggled to connect with a Gen Z conservative audience that is increasingly critical of Israel and uninterested in the now-middle-aged white conservatives who make up most of the Daily Wire cast.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yet Shapiro\u2019s attempt to go Nuclear on his opponents hit a snag when the supposed intellectual \u201caccidentally leaked a huge swath of his chat history with Grok, the Elon Musk-owned AI, exposing both internal Daily Wire financial information and Nuclear\u2019s own doubts about his career as a young conservative.\u201d<\/p>\n

Describing what happened as being \u201cabout as dumb as possible,\u201d Sommer reported that \u201cNuclear\u2019s Grok chats were obtained by staffers at Unf\u2014 America Tour, a sort of liberal response to conservative campus tours. During his stream, Nuclear scrolled through his browser history while sharing his screen with viewers and accidentally exposed a link that anyone could follow to the Grok chat.\u201d Among other things, the chat revealed that Nuclear would \u201cbe paid $530 per episode, with four debates streams every week. Nuclear would also get bonuses as his Daily Wire show\u2019s YouTube account racked up more subscribers, from $5,000 for 100,000 subscribers to $50,000 for 1 million subscribers.\u201d So far Nuclear has roughly 2,800 subscribers and his most recent stream at the time of Sommer\u2019s article only had 976 views.<\/p>\n

After going into more detail about Nuclear’s professional history, the insecurities he shared with Grok and Shapiro\u2019s apparent attempt to cultivate a friendly working relationship with him, Sommer concluded that \u201cNuclear may have willingly chosen this path\u2014albeit with the gentle encouragement of a friendly AI-bot. And he may be bombing. But Ben Shapiro is to blame.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking with this journalist for Salon in 2019, Shapiro admitted that many of the conservatives in his movement are anti-Semitic and that he has been harassed and worse as a result.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou and I have gotten anti-Semitism from some of the same places, obviously,\u201d Shapiro told this journalist at the time. \u201cI mean, I\u2019ve gotten enormous amounts of hatred from the alt-right, and while folks on the far left try to lump me in with the alt-right, that is the height of absurdity on every possible level. I mean, it\u2019s honestly one of the most reprehensible things that I\u2019ve experienced personally, people trying to lump me in with people who have legitimately threatened to kill my children \u2026 so that\u2019s always a party.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cAs far as the idea that my supporters are engaging in an outsized amount of anti-Semitism \u2026 if anybody who follows me engages in anti-Semitism, then I don\u2019t consider them anybody who I want to be associated with, people I want listening to my show, people I want listening to my content, people who I want sympathizing with me. That\u2019s garbage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking with AlterNet in March Brandeis University historian Jonathan Sarna \u2014 who specializes in American Jewish history \u2014 argued that it is important to distinguish between criticisms of the Israeli government and broad prejudice against Jews in general.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you go back to \u2018The Protocols of the Elders of Zion\u2019 \u2014 the great antisemitic forgery of the turn of the last century \u2014 that really began this sense that Jews are all-powerful, that they operate behind the scenes, and that whatever happens is ultimately their fault,\u201d Sarna told AlterNet. \u201cBefore then, for centuries, the prevailing view was that Jews were persecuted and lowly because they had killed Christ, and that was what they deserved \u2014 they were powerless. That was their punishment. But \u2018The Protocols\u2019 flipped that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sarna continued \u201cespecially as Jews in modernity have begun to succeed economically, it doesn’t much matter what the issue is \u2014 whether it is 9\/11, which some blame on the Jews, or the crash of 2008, or now the war with Iran. You can predict before it happens that people will blame Jews, because as The Protocols taught people, it’s always the Jews. It’s the great conspiracy theory. And even many people who have never read The Protocols believe many of the things in it \u2014 just as many people have never read Darwin, but they know the word \u2018evolution.\u2019 This is simply the latest iteration.\u201d<\/p>\n

The scholar concluded that \u201cI can be critical of President Trump without being un-American. Most people who criticize President Trump or the Republicans would assure you how much they love America and hold a fundamentally positive view of it. It seems to me that it’s deeply important for us to do the same with Israel \u2014 that is, to make clear that there is a huge difference between disliking the policies of the Prime Minister of Israel and hating Israel itself. If you wouldn’t equate criticism of the President with hating America, there is no reason \u2014 and indeed it is wrong and wicked \u2014 to do so with regard to Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n

As both Republicans and Democrats see increasing opposition to the State of Israel, lawmakers in both parties have worked together to combat the rise of anti-Semitism. By contrast to the current rise in hatred for Jewish Americans and Israelis by people who conflate those populations with the actions of the Israeli government or prominent Jewish criminals like the late child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein \u2014 a prejudice similar to that held by Islamophobes against all Muslims in America and abroad for the actions of terrorists and\/or their governments \u2014 this journalist, when speaking to the late Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-CT) for Salon in 2017, heard how Lieberman did not experience anti-Semitism at all when he became the first Jew to run for either president or vice president on a major ticket in 2000. He was the vice presidential running mate to the Democratic nominee, Vice President Al Gore.<\/p>\n

Lieberman recalled that even though Gore had been concerned about bigotry, he told Lieberman \u201cI talked to a group of friends who are Jewish, among them there was high anxiety and uncertainty about whether the country was ready. Then I talked to my Christian friends, really trusted advisers, and every one of them said, \u2018No problem.’ \u2018So obviously,\u201d Al joked \u2014 he had a better sense of humor than some people gave him credit for \u2014 \u2018since I know that there are so many millions more Christians than Jews in America, I was free to make the choice that I wanted to make!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Lieberman concluded that \u201cthe Christian reaction reveals a totally different reality than Jews have experienced in any place that they\u2019ve been in the world except when Israel was a Jewish state.\u201d<\/p>\n
