Edge to Nick, but I think he left a lot on the table and would have been more effective spending more time contextualizing "islamofascism"
What Barnes calls Islamofascists are in large part instruments of US government, and Israel has been a part of this -- specifically ISIS

Both the US and Israel have at the very least used "Islamofascism" (particularly Sunni variety) to advance geopolitical aims
-Imo Nick was a little bit too stuck in emphasizing differences between US policy and Israel when to critique latter

I am pro-Israel generally and specifically with respect to the Israel Palestine question (though American politics is disproportionately obsessed with this dispute)
But there are valid geopolitical criticisms of both US and Israel and the instrumentalization of Islamo-terror is definitely one of them.
