An Orthodox right-wing pro-Israel group, Israel365, plans to honor Steve Bannon as a 'Warrior for Israel' at an event in Dallas, despite recent criticism of his alleged Nazi salute. The group's founder, Rabbi Tuly Weisz, defended Bannon against accusations of antisemitism and called him a staunch ally in the fight against far-right antisemitism. The event has sparked controversy, with a local Orthodox Jewish day school canceling the booking after a parent complained. Bannon's gesture at the conservative confab CPAC drew criticism from Jewish groups and even led to the cancellation of far-right French leader Jordan Bardella's own CPAC appearance.
