Tucker Carlson: Ben Shapiro, pro-Israel voices don't care about America
Jerusalem Post ^ | 12/31/2023 | Staff

It was not the first time that Carlson, the 53 year old heir to the Swanson TV dinner fortune, had challenged American support for Ukraine’s wartime leader. On the first episode of his online program following his firing from Fox News, Carlson described Zelensky, who is Jewish, as “sweaty and rat-like, a comedian turned oligarch, a persecutor of Christians, a friend of Blackrock.”

He also referred to him as “shifty,” “dead-eyed,” and as “a person who would enjoy flooding villages or starting a famine.”

“It’s painful to even quote that,” said Ian Bremmer of the Eurasia group, in a response to Carlson’s statements. “These are all antisemitic dog-whistles, with a sprinkling of blood libel, plain and simple.”

The Anti-Defamation League also denounced Carlson’s comments about Zelensky as antisemitic: “This is exactly the type of dangerous, hateful content that has no place in mainstream public squares,” the group said.

Sure there are: Getting someone else to kill Russians. The fewer Russians in the world, the better off the US is. Putin is helping a lot too.

There are NO VITAL AMERICAN INTERESTS IN UKRAINE,

I think you misunderstood my point. I agree with your statement 100%. Backing Ukraine falls squarely into the category of being the police force for the globalists, which I absolutely oppose.

Continetti observes, "This is a dangerous moment for the American right. The nationalist right has viewed [Russian President Vladimir] Putin as a sort of Che Guevara, a rebel-like figure. But [Putin's] political turn toward antisemitism could have widespread effects. He has sided with Hamas. The Russo-Iranian alliance is affecting Putin's public stance on Jews… That is a danger, because of the section [of the American right] that tends to lionize him."

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend" at work. But while Russia is against wokeism, and I think we might presently be better under a Russian conquer than a Chinese communist one, yet any dictatorial leader that outlaws evangelicals acting accordingly, and threatens wholesale destruction of the West, and laments the demise of the Soviet Union, and seeks to regain its glory (not that the West did not much fail to wisely and honorably deal with to Russia in the 90's) is an enemy.

Kicking Russian corruption and influence out of Europe is certainly a “vital American interest”. If you don’t believe me just ask those Americans in Texas with good new jobs exporting energy to Europe.

I understand. What I’m saying is that it’s not antisemitism.

Russia Resumes Massive Missile Strikes as Ukraine Continues to Rely on Deadly, Senseless PR Stunts

Update on the conflict in Ukraine for January 1, 2024…

- Russia’s taking of the heavily fortified town of Maryinka demonstrates the futility of Kiev’s “dig-in” strategy;

- Ukrainian General Valery Zaluzhny has admitted that the likewise fortified city of Avdeevka will inevitably be taken by Russian forces;

- After months of stockpiling missiles, Russia has carried the first of what will likely be many large-scale strikes across Ukraine;

- Ukraine’s retaliation targeting Belgorod civilian targets is admittedly done solely for domestic “morale” and will only likely harden Russian resolve across all levels of Russian society;

- Ukraine’s strike on Crimea, destroying a landing ship, while a PR “victory,” demonstrates just how difficult it will be to “isolate” the peninsula considering the large number of ports and airfields Russia can use to supply both the civilian population and its military installations even without the Crimean Bridge and land-bridge;

- As Ukraine’s inevitable defeat becomes more widely accepted, NATO will have to decide whether to cut its losses and demonstrate to other proxies its lack of commitment or continue its commitment and demonstrate to its proxies that the collective West is simply, fundamentally weak;

Tucker is kind of going off the rails.

Kevin Spacey and a few other questionable guests. Some of his interviews have been a little weak too. He doesn’t need to let his head get too big.

It’s sick what that globalist puppet Zelensky is doing in Ukraine. Now they been reduced to grabbing women off the streets, old men, underaged men all this for a war they have zero chance of winning. Those pushing for a continuation of this are just evil, there’s no other word for it.

“Automatic”? You’re just lying. Even Ben Shapiro, with an Israeli wife, has a process to go through, and, considering his conservative politics and Israel’s socialist bureaucrats, it’s not a guarantee.

“laments the demise of the Soviet Union, and seeks to regain its glory”

Oh give me a break, Russia had a hard enough time taking over the Donetsk, Putin is in no position to resurrect the old Soviet Block. Some of you people are just delusional.

*****************************************************

This is just a geopolitical realignment taking place, it has nothing to do with hating Jews. So much ridiculous propaganda gets posted on this forum, it brings down the intellectual level of things here.

Not lying…..you can even be a convert ! Look it up

Who gets automatic citizenship in Israel?
These and other immigrants gained automatic citizenship under the 1970 amendment to Israel’s Law of Return. The law offers citizenship to anyone with one Jewish grandparent, a right extended to their spouses and immediate family irrespective of their religion or heritage.

Another thread with arguments that are so weak that posters resort to insults and name calling.
