Democratic strategist James Carville believes that racism is what’s really behind the Republican Party’s strong support for Israel over the Palestinians.

During the latest episode of the "Politics War Room" podcast, Carville and co-host Al Hunt discussed why there is a disparity in support for Israel between the Republican and Democratic Parties, stating that the Republicans are much more unified in their support for the country because its citizens are "whiter."

"And the reason I suspect that most of these people describe themselves as pro-Israel is because the Jews are whiter than the Palestinians," he told Hunt.

The topic came up during a question-and-answer segment where Hunt read a guest question asking how a party that has "openly embraced" the "alt-right" and "neo-Nazis" can present itself as the "most pro-Israel party."

Carville replied, stating that the racism of the party drives it to support Israel.

"It’s really about the misogyny and the racism that drives the thing, and we got to recognize that. It’s not about any policy prescription," he said, adding that the GOP supports the "whiter" Jews over Palestinians.

The strategist then discussed why pro-Palestinian protesters choose to focus on disrupting Democratic Party events, when the GOP is far more supportive of Israel.
