Does Mark Levin Support Israel?

David Svetsky Updated Jul 27, 2026 4 min read

Short answer: As of July 2026, yes: Mark Levin, the syndicated radio host, Fox News "Life, Liberty & Levin" host, and bestselling author, is one of the most consistently pro-Israel voices in American conservative media. He is Jewish himself (raised Reform), regularly defends Israel on air, publicly excoriates anti-Zionist and antisemitic voices on both the left and the right (including within his own MAGA coalition), has co-headlined a fundraiser that raised over $1.35 million for Israeli and Jewish charities, and has repeatedly praised President Trump's Israel-related policies (the Jerusalem embassy move, the Abraham Accords, and 2026 strikes on Iran).

What Mark Levin has actually said and done

  • October 27, 2019: Levin co-headlined "A Night to Honor Israel" with Pastor John Hagee at Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, marking the first anniversary of the Pittsburgh Tree of Life shooting. The event raised more than $1.35 million for Israeli and Jewish charities. Levin told the crowd, "the one place that Christians flourish in the Middle East is the state of Israel," according to Fox News.
  • November 20, 2023: On his radio show, Levin argued that Marxism is incompatible with practicing Judaism, calling some Jewish critics of Israel who backed a Gaza ceasefire, including Bernie Sanders and Jamie Raskin, "self-hating Jews" who are "Jewish by birth, but not Jewish in any other way." This was reported by Media Matters for America, with additional coverage here.
  • October 2, 2024: Levin partnered with Yael Eckstein and the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (IFCJ) to host "On the Frontlines," an original podcast series built around IFCJ's Israel and Jewish welfare work, per a GlobeNewswire press release.
  • November 1, 2025: At the Republican Jewish Coalition's 40th-anniversary Leadership Summit in Las Vegas, Levin publicly attacked anti-Zionist voices on the political right, widely understood to reference Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes, saying: "You don't get to claim you're MAGA and America first when you're lining up with the Marxists and the Islamists and Hamas... That's not America first. That's sick!" This was reported by VINnews and by JNS.
  • July 8, 2026: Levin's radio show covered Iran sinking three crude-oil tankers and firing ballistic missiles at U.S. bases, followed by President Trump's retaliatory strikes on Iran. Levin has framed the U.S. strikes as directly tied to defending Israel, according to the archived Mark Levin Show broadcast.
  • July 9, 2026: Levin argued on-air that the Democratic Party has developed "a significant Israel and Jewish problem," saying Democrats increasingly run on anti-AIPAC, anti-Israel platforms, per the show archive.
  • July 16, 2026: Levin's show discussed Sen. John Fetterman's statement that he would leave the Democratic Party if it officially turned anti-Israel, which Fetterman called a matter of "moral clarity," according to the show archive.

Jewish identity and where Levin draws his lines

Mark Levin was raised in a Jewish family in Reform Judaism. He is not observant in a traditionally religious sense, but he treats Jewish identity and Israel's security as closely linked themes in his commentary. He is not simply a media commentator praising Israel from the sidelines: he has fundraised directly for Israeli and Jewish charities (the 2019 Hagee event), partnered with a leading pro-Israel philanthropic organization on a co-branded podcast (IFCJ), and used his platform, including a marquee slot at the Republican Jewish Coalition's flagship summit, to publicly break with parts of his own political coalition over what he views as creeping antisemitism and anti-Zionism.

His sharpest and most contested rhetoric is not aimed at critics outside the Jewish community but at Jewish Americans, mostly Democratic-aligned, whom he accuses of prioritizing progressive politics over their Jewish identity, going as far as to use the term "self-hating Jews." That framing has drawn pushback from watchdog groups like Media Matters, which characterize it as inflammatory rather than as legitimate criticism, so it is presented here as a verified statement, not an endorsed judgment. No credible reporting surfaces any boycott participation, boycott refusal controversy, or business dealing with Israel to report; Levin's Israel engagement is entirely in the media and commentary and charitable fundraising space, not commercial.

The bottom line

The public record through July 2026 supports the core claim clearly: Mark Levin is a consistent, vocal, and active supporter of Israel, both rhetorically (regular on-air advocacy, RJC summit remarks, criticism of anti-Israel Democrats and of anti-Zionists on the right) and materially (the Hagee fundraiser, the IFCJ podcast partnership). His praise of Trump's Israel policies and his Jewish identity are both verified. The one point worth stating plainly rather than softening is that his criticism of "Jewish Democrats" is not a mild policy disagreement; it includes the specific, more inflammatory charge that some are "self-hating Jews."
