Overview

  • On Saturday, Greene posted a lengthy appeal on X urging compassion for Gaza’s civilians and vowing not to be silent about what she calls genocide.
  • She argued U.S. taxpayers are financing Israel’s war, citing $3.8 billion in annual military aid and reports of nearly $18 billion sent since Oct. 7.
  • Within minutes, Laura Loomer rebuked her by questioning support for Gazans coming to the U.S., after recently celebrating a State Department pause on visitor visas from Gaza.
  • Articles tied her remarks to worsening humanitarian indicators, including more than 60,000 Palestinians reported killed and IPC warnings that over half a million face famine.
  • The renewed stance intensified a rift on the right, with MAGA-aligned voices criticizing Greene as she continues to break from GOP hardliners on Gaza policy.
