The pro-Israel movement cannot defeat Islamist extremism by embracing hatred of Muslims. Yet as the Abraham Accords approach their sixth anniversary, a loud faction within the movement is doing precisely that and threatening one of the most consequential achievements it claims to defend.

This faction insists it is protecting Israel. But when its rhetoric stops targeting Hamas, Hezbollah, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the Muslim Brotherhood, and other extremist movements and begins targeting Muslims as a people, it is not protecting Israel. It is isolating Israel, alienating potential allies, and handing Islamist propagandists exactly the narrative they want.
