Republican politicians, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, have been criticized for their stance on the military-industrial complex. However, their response to Israel's assault on Gaza has shifted to a more neoconservative rhetoric reminiscent of the Bush era. Vivek Ramaswamy, in an article for The Daily Beast, accuses Republicans of selective moral outrage and argues that their calls for a stronger military response against Hamas are driven by donor money. This criticism has drawn backlash, with some stating that Ramaswamy cannot be trusted and that his views align more with the Squad than the GOP. Ramaswamy further claims that US officials pay disproportionate attention to atrocities against Israel and Ukraine due to financial influences. He accuses Nikki Haley of seeking to profit from war. However, it is important to note that support for Israel is not solely based on financial incentives but also on justice, knowledge of America's friends, and the lessons of the Holocaust.
Ramaswamy impugned the motives of Israel’s defenders. “A lot of it comes down to money,” he said... But Americans — public officials and average voters alike — do not support Israel in this time of testing because they’ve been bought off. https://t.co/62IoaLEVU3

Ramaswamy’s comments are disgusting. Clearly, he can’t be trusted. My support for Israel is based on justice; knowledge of who America’s friends are; and the lessons of the Holocaust. Ramaswamy fits in more with the Squad than the GOP. https://t.co/1AppXFngvO

For the last year and a half, Republican politicians like @RepMTG have been cosplaying as critics of the military-industrial complex. But Israel's assault on Gaza has them right back to talking like Bush-era neocons. My latest for @thedailybeast: https://t.co/9EPNrBWYgs
