@ggreenwald

On Monday night, Tucker Carlson argued that while all decent people view Hamas' massacre of civilians with revulsion (and only the most marginalized people have praised it), this is not an American war, but an Israeli war.

Ben Shapiro responded here to that argument

Still waiting for Tucker Carlson to:

Condemn Hamas.

Condemn Iran.

Make a statement of 100% support for Israel.

The war monger response. Thank you Lindsey Graham.

Americans who took the risk of being in a foreign nation happened to be killed. Ask yourself if you would have a different response if this happened in any other country.

At this time it is most definitely NOT out war. Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t send support or redeploy assets to keep things from getting out of control in the region but in no way is it cause for Congress to declare war.

Interventionalism has made a mess of things.

I wouldn’t mind an American airstrike against Hamas as payback for the Americans murdered and kidnapped but broadly, it is not in our interest to go in and stir things up. That’s what Hamas wants. They want to say the “real” enemy is big bad America blah blah blah and take the focus off the fact that they just committed sickening war crimes against civilians which brought this on.

This is Israel’s fight. Support them with intel and weapons if they need the help. Otherwise, a punitive airstrike against Hamas is about as far as I would go.

Did I hit a nerve by mentioning 27 Americans were slaughtered by the ragheads but some people are too cowardly to care?

I thought so

Tucker used to be the #1 guy on Fox.

Now he’s an unemployed pudge boy ranting on his Twitter blog from his garage.

Lemme ask you this-is it possible Tucker’s just playing the devil’s advocate to raise eyebrows? I’ve seen O’rielly and Savage do the same thing over the years. They coulda been telling the truth with a simple different opinion but it always gave me the idea they were in the entertainment business first. Let’s not forget Hannity.

American.

Now tell your Tucker to condemn Hamas, condemn Iran and give a statement of 100% support for Israel.

It is Israel’s war.

If we went to war every time an American was killed overseas, we’d be in a constant state of war.

Insofar as they hold Americans hostage, we should coordinate with Israel and take care of business. Free our people if at all possible, as quickly as possible.

Should Hammas be stupid enough to directly attack American forces...well, gloves off time, kiddos.

People get fooled by Tucker. He is a “personality” sometimes his take will be pro American, anti globalist, a take that Conservative Americans can support.
Sometimes he pivots into leftist positions he has held for years. This is one of the later positions, one that is poorly thought out & reflexive rather than logical.

Tucker refuses to say the words “Terrorist” or “Terrorism”,

Just like all the other terror appeasers.

You’re so tough you demean US veterans to warmonger for Israel.

Congrats.

It's realistic to assume that part of the Hamas / Iranian plan is to widen the conflict to the entire Middle East.

Our job should be to keep this from happening, not intervening in the conflict unless absolutely necessary.
