In a spirited, yet friendly debate on July 1, 2025, conservative filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza and far-right commentator Nick Fuentes tackled U.S. support for Israel amid rising tensions with Iran. Hosted by Infowars and moderated by Alex Jones, the exchange, streamed on Infowars, Rumble and other platforms, showcased Israel’s biblical significance as God’s chosen nation, especially as Iran’s recent attacks threaten the Holy Land.
D’Souza, known for “2000 Mules,” passionately defended U.S.-Israel ties, framing Israel as a divine bulwark against Iran’s menacing influence in the Middle East. “Israel is not just an ally; it’s God’s outpost in a region of chaos,” he declared, emphasizing Iran’s role as a destabilizing force. His call to stand with Israel resonated deeply with Christians who see the Jewish state as central to biblical prophecy, and he dismissed Fuentes’ isolationism as a dangerous retreat from God’s call to protect His people.

Fuentes, the 26-year-old America First advocate, countered with a plea to keep America out of foreign conflicts, questioning the need to engage in Middle East struggles. He pointed to D’Souza’s past support for the Iraq War as a cautionary tale of misguided intervention and argued that Iran’s regime doesn’t require U.S. action to falter, citing the Soviet Union’s collapse. Yet, some felt he sidestepped the spiritual and strategic weight of Israel’s role in God’s plan.
Held at 7 p.m. central time, the debate felt more like a brotherly chat than a showdown, with D’Souza and Fuentes trading kind words and shared frustrations over censorship. D’Souza teased Fuentes as a “Democrat” at one point, but they ended with warm handshakes, praising each other’s boldness. Jones won applause for steering the talk smoothly, giving both men room to share their convictions.
Social media buzz showed a divided flock. Many believers rallied behind D’Souza, moved by his unwavering support for Israel as a fulfillment of Scripture, while others found the debate too gentle, craving a fiercer defense of God’s land. Some nodded to Fuentes’ call to focus on America, but the absence of deeper talk on Israel’s spiritual and practical importance left viewers hungry for more.

The debate, viewable on Infowars and Rumble, revealed a rift among conservatives: D’Souza’s conviction that supporting Israel aligns with God’s will versus Fuentes’ push to turn inward. Its warm tone fostered dialogue but skirted tougher questions about the costs, and eternal rewards, of standing with Israel.
