Just ten days ago, in an article titled “From Overselling the Holocaust to Public Revolt: The Rise of Anti-Zionist America”, Helleniscope predicted that American politics is entering a new phase: politicians will soon be judged on whether they stand for America first, or whether they are in the pockets of AIPAC. That prediction has already proven true.

We also highlighted how the anti-Israel, anti-AIPAC voices in media and podcasting now overwhelm the old mainstream. The trend is unmistakable. Megyn Kelly, with her millions of followers, is the latest big name to break ranks, joining the likes of Tucker Carlson and Joe Rogan, two days ago!!…  These are not marginal figures—they dominate America’s media landscape. The result is that the Israel lobby no longer controls the narrative: the American public is hearing directly from powerful voices who reject the endless propaganda.

This media revolt is now mirrored on the ground in local and national politics. The clearest example came in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, where Congressman Bryan Steil was confronted at a town hall that quickly turned hostile. Before a packed auditorium of over 200 voters, Steil was jeered, booed, and interrupted so relentlessly that he could barely finish his remarks. Take a look at this short video:

Mainstream outlets like ABC and Wisconsin Public Radio dutifully framed the backlash around tariffs, immigration, and Medicaid cuts. But the viral videos circulating online tell the real story: voters denouncing Steil as “an AIPAC pawn” and condemning his blind loyalty to Israel while Gaza is being reduced to rubble. For his constituents, Steil’s unwavering defense of Israel symbolized something deeper—politicians who put foreign interests and lobbyist dollars above the needs of ordinary Americans.

And Wisconsin is not alone. Similar episodes are erupting across the country:

  • In Missouri, Rep. Wesley Bell faced chaos on August 19, 2025, at his town hall, accused of selling out his district to AIPAC donors.

  • In California, Rep. Sara Jacobs, at the end of July, was grilled by furious voters who accused her of enabling war crimes by backing weapons sales to Israel.

  • Even self-styled progressives are not spared: earlier this year, AOC was heckled in Queens and called a “war criminal” for refusing to take a clear stand against Israel’s actions in Gaza.

  • In Oregon, a few days ago Sen. Ron Wyden had his event shut down entirely when pro-Palestinian protesters overwhelmed the hall.

  • The pattern stretches back further—Ted Cruz, once a rising GOP star, was booed off stage years ago by Middle Eastern Christians for defending Israel in Washington.

Each of these confrontations points to the same truth: the old taboo is broken. For decades, politicians of both parties treated unconditional support for Israel as politically untouchable. But today, they are being forced to defend those positions in front of angry voters—and they are failing.

The rise of anti-Zionist America is no longer theoretical. It is real, it is national, and it is growing. Podcasters, journalists, and millions of ordinary citizens are openly rejecting the Zionist lobby’s grip on U.S. politics. The pressure on members of Congress is mounting. From Wisconsin to New York to California, voters are demanding that their representatives stand for America first, not Israel first.

  1. The genocide that Israel is committing in Gaza is well documented, from brave journalists and humanitarian organizations, even from the UN. That’s why there is a warrant from the International Criminal Court for the arrest of the Israeli Prime Minister!

    You would expect that a supposedly Greek originated organization like AHEPA would sympathize with the innocent civilians that are massacred in Gaza, especially when some of these civilians are Orthodox Christians belonging to the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem!

    You would expect AHEPA will say something, a word of sympathy for the civilian victims, for the starving children, something… Unfortunately, AHEPA continues to support Israel and close their eyes to the brutal genocide… They only condemned the bombing of the church of Saint Porfyrios by Israel, but they keep supporting the Israeli slaughter of civilians and children and the blockade of the humanitarian aid.

    And my question to my fellow Greek-Americans is this: Do you still want in our churches the hypocrites of AHEPA that side with the Israeli anti-Christian criminals? It is like having wolfs between a flock of sheep! This cannot continue, our priests cannot be silent about the genocide… You need to choose, are you Greek Orthodox priests, or members of under cover Zionist AHEPA?

    • Jane,

      Unfortunately, most of the archbishops, bishops and priests of the GOARCH are members of Masonic AHEPA, so they support in every way they can the Zionists of Israel. Silence is a big help for Israel at this time…

      By controlling GOARCH, AHEPA controls who are the priests that will be appointed and where they will be appointed. If you are a priest and you are not AHEPA, probably you will end up without employment…

      If I am wrong let’s hear some priest. Why don’t you come forward? Are you afraid for your salary?

      • Great question! I feel that they spare afraid of losing their salary. I do understand their fear but without them coming forward to lead us out of the trap we find ourselves we are doomed. The world cannot continue as it is. I had no idea AHEPA was the controlling factor. I am shocked.

  3. As long as AHEPA members can have their fancy steak dinners, and check their fat bank accounts, they could care less about the poor suffering victims in Gaza. Sad, but true.

  4. Hey Helleniscope , before your featured anti Zionist protestors of the Republican and Democratic ruling Zionist parties , the Greek Orthodox Christians citizens of New Jersey for the past two years have not been just protesting against these “Foreign Zionist Agents of Israel and Ukraine” like Menendez and Kean of N.J. .. to embezzle trillions of dollars of the Christian Treasury of America to support the starvation and mass murder of Christians and Muslim in Gaza, Palestine , Lebanon, Syria and most of the Middle East thru Economic Sanctions, Tariffs , Military , Political and Media warfare.. but filing legal Criminal Complaints against them with the law enforcement agencies of New Jersey and America ! When these protestors join the Greek Citizens of New Jersey .. and file formal criminal complaints against those congressman featured in your article .. and prosecute them for crimes against humanity and War crimes , and undermining the U.S democracy .. then I will take Part one and Two .. “Anti Zionist America seriously! And there is overwhelming evidence … to prosecute them …

    Israel Justice Minister Shaked said the truth loud and clear:
    ” Zionism contradicts human rights, and thus is indeed an ultranationalist, colonialist and racist movement” Harretz News ..Israel

    “I am a Zionist , and you don’t have to be Jewish to be a Zionist ” source : Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Netanyahue , Zelensky , and House and Senate leaders of the Republican and Democratic and the 68 % of the member Evangelical Protestant and Jewish Zionist criminal enterprises called the Republican and Democratic party .. who are all charges with being ..”Foreign Zionist Agents of Israel , Ukraine , and America …..

    The “Smoking Gun indictment of accused “Zionist foreign Agents of Israel and Ukraine and being the leaders of a Criminal enterprise looting and plundering the entire civilian population of the World …

    ” ALL THE ENEMIES OF THE JEWISH ZIONIST STATE OF ISRAEL ( Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Gaza , Iraq, Iran, Syria , Yemen, and those who do business with them … Russia , China , and all Arab countries )…. ARE MY ENEMIES AND TERRORIST IRAN WILL BE DEALT WITH ”
    source: Republican Congressman Tom Kean Jr of New Jersey .. Town Hall Meeting

    It is estimated that Pastor John Hagee of the Evangelican Protestant Christian Zionist Church represent 31 million Evangelical Protestant Zionist parishioners of America , and according to opposing Protestants Pastor are directly married to the Republican party .. who is clearly the prime supporter of Israel .. Period ! So making America First .. more like making Zionism First ! Both parties must be dismantled. by the Orthodox, Protestant and Catholic populist .. because they are going to be responsible for destroying the Christian label and Name of our lord…. Christ by their actions !
