A public feud between two big online political commentators has turned into a fight over loyalty to Israel, US war spending, and who counts as a real American — bad news for anyone hoping the pro-Israel debate on the right and left stays civil.

• Ben Shapiro questioned what immigrant families like Cenk Uygur's, Zohran Mamdani's, and Hasan Piker's have contributed to America.
• Uygur fired back that Shapiro pushes Israel's interests over America's and echoes talking points shared across pro-Israel media.
• The core charge: the US has handed Israel over $300 billion and spent trillions fighting Middle East wars, while Americans, not Israelis, do the dying.
• Netanyahu is accused of boasting in Hebrew about how easily he steers American politicians, and of recycling 30 years of warnings about an Iranian nuclear weapon.
• The fight also touches deportation threats against critics of Israel, including students on college campuses.

Outlook: Expect this split over US support for Israel to keep widening, with immigration status and loyalty accusations increasingly used as weapons on both sides.
