Republicans Overseas Israel Chairman: Antisemitism Becoming Mainstream in America

May 21, 2026·1 min read

JERUSALEM (VINnews) – Marc Zell, chairman of Republicans Overseas Israel, said antisemitism is becoming mainstream in America as he outlined President Donald Trump’s approach to Iran, which centers on preventing the country from obtaining nuclear weapons and limiting its regional influence.

Zell told ynet Global that Trump’s primary objective remains blocking Tehran’s nuclear ambitions and missile threats, even as American voters prioritize domestic concerns such as fuel prices, food costs and the potential economic impact of any wider conflict.

“Trump’s decision-making process is often difficult to predict,” Zell said, adding that the president listens carefully to a range of opinions before acting. “Nobody really knows what he’s going to do except for him himself. He listens carefully. He likes different points of view.”

Zell’s comments come amid ongoing uncertainty about how far the U.S. is prepared to go militarily against Iran. He emphasized that Trump’s policy focuses on curbing Tehran’s nuclear weapons development and its broader destabilizing activities in the Middle East.

The chairman’s remarks reflect concerns within pro-Israel Republican circles about rising antisemitism in the United States while highlighting the tension between foreign policy priorities and domestic economic worries heading into future elections.
