I think that Fuentes' proposal is good, in that it will get immediately shot down by the left, thereby showing to everyone how evil the left is. There is a high probability that Fuentes himself knows this, which is why he put out the Olive branch in the first place.
Is it intellectual possible to support Israel and not be Israel-first? Of course it is—in fact no one who levels this accusation ever bothers to articulate WTF they mean. Moreover, Fuentes admiration of Hitler and Stalin is ahistorical, and merely the kind of shit little boys pull to aggravate their parents.
Yes, it is possible to support Israel and not be Israel first. The problem is that there are those in our government who make Zionism their entire foreign policy.
