Far-right podcaster and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has taken aim at Israel again, accusing the Israeli government and its supporters of engaging in a campaign to promote fear of Islamic extremism and terrorism, while he downplayed the threat of violence by radical Islamic groups.
On Friday, Carlson spoke by phone with Harrison Berger in an interview published by The American Conservative magazine.
The magazine was established by former Republican strategist and presidential hopeful Pat Buchanan to promote his isolationist brand of paleoconservatism after he split with the Republican party.
Berger, a correspondent for The American Conservative, is also a contributor at Drop Site News, a far-left anti-Israel blog established last year by two writers for The Intercept.
During the 26-minute interview, Carlson claimed that radical Islam is not a threat to the United States, accusing the Israeli government of fomenting fears of Islamism.
“I don’t know anyone in the United States in the last 24 years who’s been killed by radical Islam. You know, I know a lot of people who have killed themselves, a lot,” Carlson said.
Trump says Ilhan Omar ‘hates Jewish people,’ calls her ‘garbage’ Notably, in 2014, Steve Sotloff, a contributor to Carlson’s outlet, The Daily Caller, was beheaded by ISIS terrorists in northern Syria.
When asked by Berger where concerns in the US over Islamism and radical Islamic terror come from, Carlson responded “the Israeli government and its many defenders and informal employees in the United States.”
Carlson went on to accuse Israel, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, of “mass murder” in the Gaza Strip.

I feel like I’m living in 1940 and hearing Charles Limbergh.
I wish this fool would shut up; he’s destroyed any remaining cred.
WTF has happened to Tucker and MTG?
Satan.
“Far-right”? Someone that has Glenn Greenwald, Oliver Stone and Ana Kasparian of the Young Turks on his program is far right? I don’t think so.
I don’t know anyone in the US who was killed by radical Islam in the last 24 years.
HMMMM. That takes you back to, um, 2001. The fall of 2001. Anyone killed by radical Islam then?
I can’t quite remember.
Islam would be less of a problem if we banned muslims from coming into the country.
Far-right podcaster “
Carlson is not far right but he is bought by the arabs. Israel is an ally but you really really have to keep an eye on them. They are not above going against our interests if it benefits Israel.
Is the4 Israeli government Satan then? It admits that most Jews are Jews by conversion, not DNA.
He personally doesn't or doesn't know of any?
The latter is easily proven:
2009 Fort Hood shooting: A U.S. Army psychiatrist, Nidal Malik Hasan, killed 13 unarmed soldiers and wounded many others at Fort Hood, Texas, in an attack described as being explicitly in the name of Allah.
2013 Boston Marathon bombing: Two brothers, Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, planted two pressure-cooker bombs near the finish line of the marathon, killing three people and injuring more than 180.
2015 San Bernardino attack: A married couple, Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik, opened fire at a workplace Christmas party, killing 14 people and injuring 22 others. They had pledged allegiance to ISIS.
2016 Orlando nightclub shooting: A lone gunman, Omar Mateen, who pledged allegiance to ISIS, killed 49 people and injured 58 more at the Pulse gay nightclub. This was the largest mass shooting in U.S. history at the time.
2017 New York City truck attack: An Uzbek immigrant, Sayfullo Saipov, drove a rented pickup truck down a bicycle path, killing eight people and injuring 12 others before being shot and apprehended by police.
2019 Naval Air Station Pensacola shooting: A Royal Saudi Air Force officer training at the station opened fire in a classroom building, killing three people and wounding eight others.
The Boston Marathon bombing was in 2013
I guess reminding him of 9/11 and 10/7 would do no good at this point.
“I don’t know anyone in the United States in the last 24 years who’s been killed by radical Islam”

Among dozens & dozens of others - if not hundreds...thousands.
Putting aside Tucker's false premise about the last 24 years, wasn't Tucker recently bitching about the USS Liberty which was 58 YEARS AGO!
Having never been a fan of the bow-tie, it’s a pleasure to watch him bury his credibility and professional reputation on this particular hill.
>> WTF has happened to Tucker and MTG?
They abandoned truth and gave in to pride and ego
Islam would be less of a problem if we banned muslims from coming into the country.

Why would we want them to come into our country? 90% of Somalis stay on welfare.
$$$$ from wicked sources. Soros, maybe?
