Tucker Carlson, in a recent episode of his show on the Tucker Carlson Network, criticized Christian leaders in the United States for their support of Israel’s actions in Gaza, claiming that they have “lost the thread” of their faith. Carlson’s comments came during an interview with Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac, a Palestinian Christian pastor from Bethlehem.
Carlson highlighted the destruction of a Greek Orthodox church compound in Gaza, which resulted in the deaths of at least 17 people, and questioned how Christian leaders could support such actions. He emphasized the need for a ceasefire, citing the loss of thousands of civilian lives in Gaza.
Isaac echoed Carlson’s concerns, stating that the war is “genocide” and that “fellow Christians are suffering.” He urged Christian leaders in the US to remember that “when the state of Israel was created, it was not created on an empty land. It was created on a land that had millions of indigenous Palestinians, including Palestinian Christians.”

Hmm, I’m afraid you might be referring to Trump’s running mate.
Tucker shouldn’t comment on things he knows nothing about. There weren’t “millions” living in the entire Palestinian Mandate including Jordan. Christians are free and safe only in Israel, no where else in the Middle East!
Looks like aipac lost the narrative.
Both the far left and far right are beginning to converge on isolationism, Zionism was only supported by boomer evangelicals tricked into believing it. Now that generation is waning and American Zionism with it.
I always that it was funny EY thought they needed America more than HaShem to save them, look how well that’s turned out.
The political world, like the real world, in round. When you go all the way to the right, you pop up on the left.
Tucker has always been hinting at hating the Jews. He said that he despised Ben Shapiro for wanting American troop involvement in Iran to help Israel despite the fact that neither Ben Shapiro nor the state of Israel requested it. He talks about the Christians being persecuted in Israel ONLY when he thinks he can get away with it like in Ukraine with Zelensky (who had his children baptised in the Ukrainian Orthodox Church,not that that shielded him from being picked on as a Jew when he practices Christianity). Carlson said “Who gains from a war with Iran”andwe are to draw the conclusion “The Jews”.
I listened to a chunk of it
Tuckers main goal is to highlight side affects of American taxpayer involvement in conflicts around the world. he has a bigoted ill informed narrow view but his point is that he shouldnt need to know what goes on in israel
The Torah relates how Esav married Machlas bas Yishmael. Chazal see this as a convergence of Esav and Yishmael against Klal Yisrael before the arrival of Mashiach. The two people in this conversation are a graphic illustration of this truth.
Trump will have to decide whether he wants to be similar to Tucker, whose foreign policy views are similar to those of the “America First” of the 1930s, or whether to attempt to define “America First” is a way that allows for Republicans of the type who supported Eisenhower, Reagan and Bush to support Trump in 2024.
Given that the Democrats are increasingly anti-Semitic and anti-war (“ghosts” of McGovern), it would be very easy for Trump to interpret MAGA to include leading the “free world” while expecting allies to contribute. For Yidden, that is the best we can hope for. We would be comfortable with a United States who sees itself as “America First” in opposing an axis consisting of China, Russia and Iran.
AIPAC can blunt anything he said
Carlson has a very selective interest in other countries. I stopped believing that he simply only cares for America. He cares deeply about Hungary, Argentina, Russia etc. He doesn’t stop talking about Christians in Ukraine. Etc. etc.
Bottom line: When he wants to, he knows how to figure out foreign conflicts to the last detail. In this case, for some reason he cares about the Palestinian Christians hurt by Israel, but no care at all for the many Christians killed by Hamas and so many other Muslims.

Fake news, of course. He said no such thing, at least not in the clip above.
I have thought for the last few years that Carlson was a latent, glib, subtle anti-Semite. His Jew-hatred became clearer as he hosted more and more anti-Semites on his show, permitted various negative opinions to be expressed about Israel without allowing any positive opinions to be expressed.
Now, he has fully exposed his underlying and long-standing Jew hatred and supports overt lies regarding Israel. He backs the taqqiya lie that the colonizers from Arabia are somehow “indigenous Palestinians” when it is clear that the Jews are the indigenous people of Israel.
He is a vile, evil hater of Jews and, as such, his opinions about any topic are worth less than diddly squat.
WHY IS IT SO COMPLICATED?! A person can have legitimate questions and criticism of Israel without being an antisemite. Now idk what Carlson’s view is about Jews but we gotta know. The whole stupidity of calling EVERYONE who isn’t 100% behind Israel an antisemite IS NOT WORKING ANYMORE. No one (both on the left and the right) is falling for this lie anymore.
We live in a country with a 1st amendment which guarantees free speech. That’s an amazing thing. If someone wants to criticize Israel that’s fine and we can refute them if their arguments are bad.
It’s such a sick obsessive way to live, to look for anyone who criticizes Israel and scream Antisemite! and try to make their lives miserable. Ppl should be able to say whatever they want
Tucker kisses up to Russia, that’s actually a problem. But why is he all of a sudden an antisemite if he refuses to buy into AIPAC’s lies?! Most people are fed up with Israel lying and lying over and over again, killing foreign aid workers, and even killing our own people (remember the captives that were shot by Israeli soldiers after they escaped from the Hamas terrorists?)
Nothing new here. Everyone knows TC is one big fat neonazi. He hates Jews more than anything. Some big Jew high up in the corporate press world must have taken away or deny him some high paying job along the way and like a good ol’ antisemite blames all the Jews for it. He will meet the same end that every antisemite will eventually face. No respect for him. Never had any.
Yanky1998 you’re pathetically naive. Everyone knows Israel is far from perfect, but when a goy like TC talks like this only about Israel and not his friend Putin who has done far worse things, or his own country who has done far worse things in their wars, that has only one name: ANTISEMITISM. But keep your head in the sand. You’re good.
No, it is you who are naive @sickofidiots. We as the frum community have a major issue: we let wackos speak for our community and aren’t vocal ourselves. Shmuley Boteach declares someone an antisemite and we all parrot after him without thinking. Even worse, AIPAC which is a completely freie organization will declare someone an antisemite an many of us, especially the more modern will agree and nod their head without thinking.
Let’s face it. We want a safe Eretz Yisroel, but tbh under the current government thanks to nut jobs like Ben gvir and smotrich making crazy laws that make Arabs feel like they have nothing to lose, we have a situation more dangerous than ever seen before in EY. Ben Gvir goes to har habayis, and even banned Palestinian flags. That causes the average Arab to think he has no future except to fight Jews.
The Israeli government’s interests and frum Jews’ interests might overlap but they are not the same.
A goy isn’t mechuyav to love Jews. We know eisav soneh l’yaakov. People who make a fuss someone asks a legitimate question about all the American funds going to Israel, are not necessarily antisemites. Many of them might be, but trying to have them fired is not helping anyone.
What do you think your whining will accomplish? If anything it’s creating more antisemitism
The comments on here are crazy. Since when did we become like a totalitarian mob who will bully anyone who’s critical of Israel? The left AND the right are not falling for this anymore. If we’re not careful we might not have any allies left after the current Israeli government ruined our (the Jewish community’s) relationship with every single civilized country.
Yanky1998 we don’t appreciate infiltrators on this forum thank you
Tucker was always a fringe host with fringe guests talking about fringe topics.
Thank you, Yanky1998. The Zionist idol is exactly that.
As well, Mr. Carlson is all about what is in America’s interests. In a foreign conflict, it isn’t relevant to him who is right; he just doesn’t want America involved.
Finally, Mr. Carlson had Chaya Raichik on his show. He certainly didn’t seem at all antisemitic. Don’t make him into one by accusing him falsely.
He’s right.
Modern evangelicals are not Christians ideologically.
They have rejected replacement theory and many other ideas.
But they still hold onto some paganism.
The evangelicals do NOT care about the old fashioned church Christians.
Yanky1998, you are really good at echoing the talking points of the anti-Semites. Enjoy being naive, it certainly is a more blissful life, at least temporarily.
@sickofidiots, @philosopher, and @coffeeroomguy,
You are all sick with the illness called, CBCWZS (Cry Baby Crying Wolf Zionist Syndrome).
Your a bunch of idiots with no similarity to Judaism besides for your evangelical Jewish blood thirsty friends.
If I’d put you together I’d call you the coffee room idiotic philosopher…..
@Yanky1998, is 100% right.
Just for your knowledge, the evangelical christians are only pro-Israel because according to their rubbish, they believe that in order for their second coming, Jews need to go back to Eretz Yisrael, not accept christianity, and then they’ll kill us all…
Very pro Jewish must say….
But someone who raises a totally legitimate point, that holding dual identity rooted in a distorted and twisted view of what Judaism, expressing itself as living the life of an American, but expressively and factual identifying as an Israeli is wrong, it is, and in fact it is the cause for the worst types of anti-Semitism.
Just as the British do not want afro’s, islamists, and others coming to the UK and milking the UK, whilst (the islamists telling British media that they’ll outbreed them,) actively living a life of an enemy of Britain, and the same for the USA regarding the Mexicans and others etc etc, so too, Carlson, as a patriot of his country doesn’t like that people living in the USA, do this, it is wrong and imorral.
If those people shouting like hooligans really want what they want, why don’t they catch a flight to israel and leave everyone alone, it only winds people up and raises anti-Semitism to higher proportions….
A goy is mechuyav to love Jews
who is this guy?
“we as a frum community”
proceeds to mimic leftist talking points.
Is he a goy infiltrator? An OTD infiltrator who uses the language to pretends to be something he no longer is? Or did woke ideology actually make inroads into our communities? I hope it’s not that, that would be heart-wrenching and catastrophic.
@doom777,
your comment makes me laugh.
This is so typical of the emotion-controlled zionist train of thought.
Instead of taking in the point Yanky wrote, you attack him with irrelevant stupidity.
What has his wording got to do with the point he made?
Besides, maybe you are otd maybe not, but one thing I definitely do know is that Yanky wrote a comment from the point of view of a normal not zionist rat-infested mindset, in accordance with Da’at Torah.
doom777 hahaha if not being proudly pro Israel is considered OTD for you then your definition of yiddishkeit and mine are different.
Any Jew who doesn’t keep taryag mitzvos is someone we should stay far away from. That includes bibi
Ben Gvir is a rasha for bringing Jews in danger, this is the opinion of most normal roshei yeshiva in EY and America
Anyone can criticize whoever they want and doing so doesn’t make you an antisemite
