Carlson's opposition to GOP support for Israel to fight back in self-defense against Hamas marks him as an outlier.
But his outsized influence may move some Republicans towards a more skeptical position on Israel.
Tucker Carlson, the far-right U.S. pundit who has been among the most high-profile skeptics of providing military aid and diplomatic support to Ukraine, used his Twitter talk show to decry Republicans advocating for Israel to use all of its capabilities to fight back against Hamas in Gaza, as well as its regional backers in Iran, after the terror group's assault on southern Israel.

Where did you get this information?
So why didn't neocon Bush II do something about Iran when we had 500,000 troops in Iraq? Maybe help foment an uprising, or something useful like that?
This is what Carlson said tonight.
He is asking prudent questions. While I find his personal style unnecessarily provocative and, at times, even obnoxious that does not deflect from the point. Perhaps if German political figures had asked these questions instead of issuing Austria Hungary a blank check WW 1 might not of happed. There is a serious differences between supporting Israel and demanding the US go to war with Iran.
“There’s a lot at stake in how we encourage Israel to respond to the horrifying Hamas attacks. Wisdom and long-term thinking are essential, but you will not be surprised to learn that’s not what we’re getting,” Carlson said. “Wars beget more war. The bigger the conflict, the uglier and longer lasting the consequences

From Kiev. LOL
Watch his show. No empathy or outrage from Tucker. According to Tucker, it’s not “terrorism”. Just a “crime” that’s “illegal”.
We’ve heard that all before from Ilhan Omar.
That video is from yesterday.
Tucker went into hiding again today.
Just like he did in November and December 2020 while the election was being stolen from President Trump. Running away.
He may very well have ended his career and relevance on the right.
Exactly. It was no accident the dozen or so intel agencies that knew about this imminent attack months ago stayed mum.
1. Iran was behind it.
2. Russia was behind it, too.
3. Let’s throw North Korea into the mix to make it multi-racial and downplay any religious focus that might offend Muslims.
4. “This attack on Israel is an attack on America.”
That last one was almost an exact quote from anchor baby Nimrata Haley. I’m sure Tucker heard that one and lost his lunch like I did.
Watch is program on Twitter and decide. Get it first and instead of the media.
This is referring to his video from yesterday. It’s the pinned tweet on his Twitter page.
Spoiler alert: Tucker didn’t say what this lying newspaper is claiming.
Democrats support Palestinians over Israel, GOP overwhelmingly stands with US ally: 2023 poll
Republicans overwhelmingly support Israel with 78% supporting the Middle Eastern ally
That was 2004 John Kerry would have given him flack as it was war fever in Iraq wore off by 2004 Bush got a relatively narrow win over Kerry.
What’s interesting about Iraq as the WMD theory of the Neocons wore thin by 2005-2006 the rhetoric against Syria heated up.
It was said in Neocon Land that WMD from Iraq got moved to Syria.
By 2011 the US backed use of Al Qaeda jihadists to wage war against Iranian ally Syria was fully underway.
Putting your hope and trust in your favorite TV “conservative” talking head will always end in tears sooner or later.
This newspaper is leftist fodder like Zeeps like to support their biased agenda.
I watched it yesterday.
Tucker couldn’t even utter the word “terrorism”.
He didn’t condemn Iran.
He didn’t condemn Hamas.
He didn’t give 100% support to Israel.
Absence of compassion, empathy, outrage.
A disgrace.
Well, a Zeep posted it 🤣
Oh yeah and his buddies are here to spread the uh....
I need to rewatch it then. I was busy multitasking.
