James Carville Says Republicans More Likely to Support Israel Because ‘Jews Are Whiter Than the Palestinians’
Veteran Democratic Party strategist James Carville claimed that Republicans are more likely to be pro-Isreal than Democrats because Jews have a lighter complexion than their Arab neighbors.
Ten months after the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks against Israel and amid the country’s military ongoing response to them, Carville participated in the Politics War Room podcast Thursday to discuss a wide range of topics related to the 2024 election.
Carville at one point claimed former President Donald Trump is running his campaign on “racism” because, without the support of White nationalism, he would get crushed in November.
After podcast co-host Al Hunt read a question from a listener who asked him to answer why a party of avowed racists would be so open in supporting the Jewish State, Carville responded by claiming that the support is itself rooted in not only racism but also hatred for women.
“It’s really about the misogyny and the racism that drives the thing, and we got to recognize that,” Carville replied. “It’s not about any policy prescription. And the reason I suspect that most of these people describe themselves as pro-Israel is because the Jews are whiter than the Palestinians. Which I think drives a lot of what they are.”
Carville added that he’s annoyed Trump has not been met with protests from demonstrators who support the Palestinians – demonstrators who routinely target Democrats such as Vice President Kamala Harris.

“The reason they say we’re targeting Democrats is because we think they would be more open-minded about this but we’re not going to do anything to the Republicans because we’re not gonna have any influence,” he said. “Well, that’s just some dumbass political shit.”
Carville complained that demonstrators against Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza are risking harming Democrats politically on the issue – even though he believes Democrats would be more likely to broker a ceasefire in the Middle East.
