There’s a pretty straightforward ‘isolationist’ case against America being involved with anything that happens outside its borders. It’s happening out there. It doesn’t involve us. We shouldn’t pay attention to it. (The problem with that case is that some things happening out there, like Islamic terrorism, are a worldwide threat that does involve us.)
But as I previously pointed out, the folks trying to tilt MAGA against Israel so often sound like leftists. Instead of making an isolationist case, they insist on believing everything the media tells them, they bring on leftists to attack Israel and they make common cause with the Left.
Case in point.

What occasioned this outpouring of love from the media? Aside from accusing Republicans of sexism, Marjorie Taylor Greene began going on about “innocent people in Gaza” and claimed that they were suffering “genocide”.
This is on a level with Tucker Carlson bringing on George Stephanopoulos’s sister (without telling his audience that she was the sister of a top Clinton adviser and media figure) to claim that Hamas just wanted freedom.
Some people call this isolationism. It’s not isolationism. Isolationism would be not giving a damn about Gaza. Crying about the ‘suffering’ of the terrorists and repeating the same propaganda you get in the media for Islamic terrorists isn’t isolationism.
These same people throw around terms like “Israel Firsters”, but what they sound like is “Gaza Firsters”.
