I questioned whether the term "Woke Right" is part of a foreign influence operation by the Israeli Government in my monologue on "The Matt Gaetz Show." I noted that White House insiders criticized Israeli PM Bibi Netanyahu for meddling in U.S. politics and using American influencers to promote this term. I also responded to a comment, calling out someone for being vague and suggesting they are a pawn of Netanyahu.

I have to ask, is the astroturfing of the term “Woke Right” a foreign influence operation being peddled by the Israeli Government? I broke down the evidence in my monologue for “The Matt Gaetz Show” on One America News Network tonight with Patrick Casey.

Video Transcript AI Summary
The piece examines the woke right, a vague label that surged after the October 7 Israel-Gaza war to describe a small, vocal online fringe. It focuses on who uses the term and for what purpose rather than defining it. Jonathan Greenblatt of the ADL calls it a "generational problem" and a "TikTok problem" as fewer young Americans back Israel. He frames the issue as a broader fringe influence on both sides that fuels antisemitism. JT Lonsdale, Palantir cofounder, discusses the "new woke right" on CNBC, associating it with Carlson, Bannon, and others. Matt Brooks of the Republican Jewish Coalition warns the woke right is existential for Israel and urges MAGA to stay pro-Israel. Netanyahu invokes the term, prompting questions about foreign influence. Patrick Casey argues the term is owned by others and should be used cautiously.

Speaker 0: Tonight, I want to focus on an obscure concept that has made its way into political discourse in the recent years. I'm talking about the woke right. What is it? I wish I could actually tell you. The main critique of this term is that it's, in fact, vague, amorphous, and bends to the will of the person who uses it, usually to attack or smear someone as too radical or too right wing in their thoughts or ideas. Lots of ink has been spilled over the last year as to warn readers of the scourge of the woke right and how it's especially popular amongst young people, particularly young men. Niche and obscure academics have used the term sparsely since 2021, though its use really took off after 10/07/2023 when the Israel Gaza conflict reignited. Many people started using the term to describe a very small but very vocal segment of the online right that could be considered anti Semitic. But the term didn't just stay to that small segment. As I had mentioned, the meaning of the term is vague and amorphous, thus the targets of the term also started to resemble nothing close to who this term was originally used to label. So I don't want to focus on what it means or who has been smeared with that label. Instead, I want to focus on who is using it and for what purpose. The main concern after October 7 was that young Americans' opinions and sentiments towards Israel was sinking fast. CEO of the Anti Defamation League, Jonathan Greenblatt, stated as much in this leaked audio with his donors and board members. Speaker 1: But I also wanna point out that we have a major, major, major generational problem. All the polling I've seen, ADLs polling, ICC's polling, independent polling suggests this is not a left right gap, folks. The issue in The United States support for Israel is not left and right. It is young and old. And the numbers of young people looking to come on this, you know, massacre was justified as shockingly and terrifyingly high. And so we really have a TikTok problem, a Gen Z problem. Speaker 0: A generational problem, not left or right. A TikTok problem, a Gen Z problem. Greenblatt sounds terrified. So, what to do? How does one solve this sentiment issue around Israel when talking about America's younger generation? Well, fast forward a year later, and here's Greenblatt on MSNBC with a new song he's eager to sing. Speaker 2: What I'm focused on, really, are how the fringes, like the woke right, the Tucker Carlsons, the Steve Bannons, the Candace Owens, and the sort of radical left, the Hassan Pikers, and people like Mehdi Hassan, unfortunately. Max Blumenthal have been fomenting antisemitism, blaming this war on the Jews or the Zionists or the neocons. And I think that kind of classic antisemitism, I find very troubling. Speaker 0: Sounds like Greenblatt has found his new crusade. The push to mainstream this term and concept doesn't stop there, of course. Here's JT Lonsdale, cofounder of Palantir, going on CNBC to push the same line during the twelve day war. Speaker 3: I don't understand what this new woke right's doing. I think we've actually shown that the vast majority of the right does not want them to have a nuke and supports that activity. There's a lot of Islamist bot accounts online right now trying to pretend that they're on the right, that they're against doing this, but Speaker 4: They're they're right now. The new what you think what he is describing is the new woke right. I heard. Yeah. Does the new woke right is that is Steve Bannon and Yeah. And Tucker Carlson part of that? Speaker 3: Those guys are part of it, and a bunch of Pakistani accounts online pertaining to be Christians are part of it. Speaker 0: Lonsdale founded Palantir with Alex Karp, the same Alex Karp that bragged about Palantir doing this. Speaker 5: We built PG, which single handedly stopped, the rise of the far right in in in Europe. Speaker 0: Proud of stopping the right wing in Europe? How did that turn out, by the way? Because it looks like a cutscene from a Elder Scrolls video game as we speak. Make sure to thank Alex Karp for hellish scenes like this coming out of Scotland since he's so eager to take credit for stopping the only people who could have prevented this scene from happening. What do you think Palantir intends to do to the right in America, by the way? I shudder to think. It doesn't stop with Lonsdale or Carp either. Matt Brooks, CEO of the Republican Jewish Coalition and allegedly American political organization, has declared war on the woke right because he sees it as an existential threat not to America, but to Israel. Speaker 5: The bigger issue, and this is something that I've spent a lot of time thinking about and I'm to prime minister Netanyahu and others about, is the threat from the woke right is existential. And by that I mean if we don't combat the woke right now and if it follows the trajectory of what happened in the Democratic Party and gets a foothold and ultimately becomes the mainstream of the Republican Party, there is no party and nobody in politics to support Israel. Israel will be alone. Without a strong pro Israel Republican party, there is no support for Israel. If we lose the Republican party, Israel has nobody. Those voices on the woke right have got to know that you if you are MAGA, you are also pro Israel. And if you wanna try and argue that Israel is not an ally and Israel is a liability, well, let me just tell you, you're gonna have to go through the Republican Jewish coalition first. Speaker 0: And rest assured, that concept has made its way all the way to the top of Israel's leadership. Speaker 6: If you're telling me that there's work to be done on Gen Z and across the West, yes. And by the way, it's not only our our job. We are, as your colleague Douglas Murray has said, we're the litmus test for the survival of the West because these people are against the West. They're not for the West, they're against the West. And there's the horseshoe effect of the walk left meeting the walk right and challenging the basic precepts of Western civilization. And I think that has to be challenged not merely by Israel or by me, but by you. And I know that you're doing it, and I wanna commend you for doing it. Speaker 4: Well, we've certainly been challenging the woke right. Speaker 0: Is incredibly important to note that Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is the only head of government, the only leader of a nation, to use the term woke right unironically in this manner. No other world leader has mentioned or uttered this term. None. Not even President Trump. Netanyahu gives the game away right there. That this is about America's Gen Z. This is about their sentiments towards Israel. And that combating the woke right will determine the West's survival. I want to say that it is highly inappropriate for the leader of a foreign nation to not only comment on the domestic politics of Americans, but then also incite rage and foment anger among our fellow Americans in response to domestic politics he doesn't like. It is not okay for foreign leaders to try and divide Americans for their own political interests. I have to ask, is the astroturfing of the term woke right a foreign influence operation being peddled by the Israeli government? That's exactly what it looks like. I know many countries try to influence our domestic politics China, Russia, and the like. Guess what? They are all labeled as our adversaries and enemies. This is not the behavior we expect of our allies. Some might even say our greatest ally. If Bibi and Israel do not want to be accused of interfering with America's internal politics, then they need to stop doing exactly that. I don't think Israel came up with this woke right concept, but I do think that they cynically co opted it for their national interests and now want to use it to drive a wedge in not just American domestic politics, but particularly to divide up and destroy the MAGA right. This is not the type of behavior an ally of The United States should be engaging in. The only thing that Israel should be concerned with is if it has good relations with the American government, not particular factions within America. And so a word of advice to BB and Israel. Americans know you have a you have big issues to resolve right in your own backyard, and we hope you bring the problems you face to a swift end. But when it comes to American domestic politics, listen to our founding father, Ben Franklin, and just mind your business. Joining me now is the man who wrote a piece for Chronicles magazine declaring the woke right crusade has already failed. He's the writer and host of Restoring Order, Patrick Casey. So what do you think, Patrick? Do I have a case here? Has this term woke right been co opted by the Israeli government, and are there others who have done the same by just co opting it for their own purposes? Speaker 4: Sure. Well, thank you for having me on. I to answer your question, I think that a lot of different people who have have who have, problems with the direction that the right is moving in have gravitated toward this term woke right. First of all, I think that the term is completely ridiculous. I think that, you know, there are some elements of of kind of like the extreme fringe right that are I certainly want nothing to do with, that are, you know, all they do is whine and they say ridiculous things, and, you know, maybe they do really hate Jews, and that's all they wanna talk about. But it's it's worth pointing out that the guy, as far as I can tell, came up with the term or at the very least pioneered it, popularized it. James Lindsay is referring to far more than just like some extreme freaks, the the outer edges of the right. You know, James Lindsay is someone that has made it very clear that no critique of liberalism is to be allowed. That anyone who is critiquing liberalism is therefore guilty of of being part of this this woke right. And the the point that I'm getting at here is that I understand there's some people that either stuff I see on the right that I that I disagree with, people should be very careful about using this term because it applies to a lot more. And in fact, James Lindsay has applied it to Ioram Hazoni, who's an Israeli nationalist. You know, this is saying that he's more loyal to Israel than than America and things like this. So it's when you use a term that someone else has created and basically owns, you're picking up a lot of baggage and you might not be aware of it. So when it comes to Netanyahu, yeah, of course, he he definitely sees that there is declining popularity and support for Israel in America, even even on the right, not just on the left. And so I don't think he really knows any of that. I think someone just told him this is a good term that you should use to talk about people right of center who are critical of Israel. But it's just definitely a term that anyone who regardless of honestly, regardless of of their position on Israel, anyone right of center who's like a real Trump supporter, a real nationalist, real conservative should just not be using whatsoever.

The woke right is an obscure, vague label whose use surged after Oct 7, shifting from a descriptor to a strategic target. The focus is on who uses it and why. Jonathan Greenblatt of the ADL says: "the issue in The United States support for Israel is not left and right. It is young and old." He adds: "a TikTok problem, a Gen Z problem," and identifies fringes—“the woke right”—fomenting antisemitism. JT Lonsdale of Palantir calls it "the new woke right" and notes "There’s Islamist bot accounts online" pretending to be on the right. Matt Brooks warns: "If we lose the Republican party, Israel has nobody." Netanyahu is said to be "the only head of government, the only leader of a nation, to use the term woke right unironically in this manner." The host asks, "Is the astroturfing of the term woke right a foreign influence operation being peddled by the Israeli government? That's exactly what it looks like." Patrick Casey says "the woke right crusade has already failed" and that the term should be avoided by right-of-center voices.
