Don\u2019t look now but the foreign policy divisions among the conservatives gathered at the\u00a0annual National Conservatism conference<\/a>\u00a0are no longer contained. Today they finally spilled out, like gushing hot lava or whatever metaphor is best, all over Breakout Session B.<\/p>\n

Fascinatingly it wasn\u2019t over the\u00a0Ukraine War<\/a>, or\u00a0China<\/a>, but over\u00a0Israel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For many realists and restrainers who include themselves in this annual event \u2014 dominated by New Right conservatives who are a bit diverse but at this confab largely support state sovereignty, traditional values, and \u201cthe idea of nation\u201d \u2014 today was a bit of a victory. For years, \u201cNatCon\u201d, launched in 2019 by\u00a0Yoram Hazony<\/u><\/a>, a staunch pro-Israel nationalist, had largely stayed away from foreign policy; a rare panel on China here, one on NATO there, interspersed with overwrought conversations about the threat of Islamism here in the U.S. and abroad.<\/p>\n

But included this year in D.C. are two sessions hosting voices from the right-of-center realism and restraint faction, including remarks on Wednesday from National Review\u2019s\u00a0Michael Brendan Dougherty<\/u><\/a>, entitled \u201cWhy Restraint is Conservative.\u201d If NatCon is the intellectual underpinning of \u201cAmerica First,\u201d it has finally come around to asking if entangling alliances, especially decades-long ones that seem to be driving us off a cliff to the unknown, are indeed \u201cAmerica First.\u201d<\/p>\n

At ground zero of this question is the U.S.-Israel relationship and it is causing a conservative schism, which played out quite viscerally in a debate Tuesday between\u00a0Curt Mills<\/u><\/a>, editor and executive director of The American Conservative, and\u00a0Max Abrahms<\/u><\/a>, assistant professor of political science at Northeastern University. It was hosted by\u00a0Daniel McCarthy<\/u><\/a>, who is a former editor of TAC and now edits Modern Age.<\/p>\n

Abrahms came out swinging to call all realists today \u2013 especially John Mearsheimer \u2014 \u201cwrong\u201d on the issue of\u00a0Iran<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Middle East<\/a>\u00a0writ large. In fact, he called them all \u201cMAGA isolationist realists\u201d who have become \u201cinsane\u201d in their wrong-headed analysis since being \u201cright\u201d on the failures of the post-9\/11 wars.<\/p>\n
