Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson and his guest, retired Army Col. Douglas Macgregor, scoffed at the idea that the United States was scoring “moral victories” through its assistance of Israel and suggested that the world’s only Jewish-majority state was committing “war crimes” by bombing Gaza during an episode of the former’s show released on Monday.
After a conversation during which the two commentators argued that wiping out Hamas was an unrealistic goal, they said that the U.S. was hurtling toward war with Iran and bizarrely submitted that Turkey and Russia would be eager to join such a conflict on the side of Iran, Carlson adopted a mockingly inquisitive tone.
“But we’ll be, as we become impoverished and chaotic and subject to these terror attacks, we’ll be winning important moral victories, don’t you think?” he asked.
He continued:
This is the problem with collective punishment. This is the problem with annihilating Gaza and trying to sweep out its population. That’s unacceptable to us as Americans. I don’t think if you sat down any of Israel’s most ardent supporters in the United States and said, ‘Are you willing to trade the lives of several hundred thousand people in Gaza for the lives taken in Israel by Hamas?’ After all, Hamas and Palestinian Jihad were the fighters. They lost 1,500, there were 3,000 involved in the several waves of the attack. They’re dead. Now we’re looking at perhaps 5,000 civilians dead. How many more will we witness? Is that somehow or another justified morally?
So @BasedMikeLee retweets Tucker & Douglas Macgregor talking about how Israel is committing “war crimes” employs “collective punishment, [is]annihilating Gaza & trying to sweep out its population,” before equating the lives of Hamas’s sadistic butchers with the people they killed pic.twitter.com/InzHrKb4fM

It’s unclear what Macgregor has that leads him to believe that all of the terrorists involved in planning, preparing for, and carrying out the October 7 attack on Israel are already dead.
At the outset of the Russian war on Ukraine, Macgregor submitted that Russia would win the war within a couple of weeks. He has also spread Russian propaganda by declaring that Vladimir Putin only invaded because Ukrainian military forces were massing at the Russian border and that the Russian leader has taken pains to avoid kill civilians in Ukraine.
As of July, over 9,000 civilians had been killed, and nearly 16,000 had been injured by Russia in Ukraine. The statistics cited by Macgregor about civilian casualties in Gaza come from Hamas.
Carlson and Macgregor join the ranks of far-left commentators and politicians such as Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and Mehdi Hasan in suggesting that Israel has committed war crimes in its defensive war against Hamas.

I listened to the entire video and cannot imagine a more falsely depicted slant than what’s written above.
Is this POS ever been right yet??? Feh...
Yes. For a former military man, he seems to have a rather romantic uncritical, unrealistic view of war. This is what real war for survival looks like.
Imagine it is 1944 and you had a US radio commentator broadcasting this statement worrying about dead German and Japanese's. What would of been the reaction?
This. EXACTLY.
Tucker Carlson is a traitor a scum and a Russian plant
Disgusting piece of dog turd
I just watched that interview. That is a very misleading take on what McGregor said. He spoke very frankly of the challenges that the world faces right now. There are no easy options. War is dirty and messy. People will die. The public and the media may not be ready for that reality.
While I disagree with Tucker on the wisdom of crushing the disgusting Hamas, I think the heavy lift of any action in that part of the world should be Israel’s responsibility.
Hamas must be destroyed but it must be destroyed by Israel .
Get outta here ya trouble making n00b. You have all puked up this site pretty bad.
Maybe that is you real purpose.
The problem is that at the end of the day, the enemy is not Hamas. The enemy is Islam.
And I don’t think they should “kill all the civilians” in Gaza. They should relocate them to their homeland, Jordan. Then Jordan can deal with them as they failed to do in the past.
You are describing your Bush lovin’ crap self.
That answers the question I had as I read the article. Thanks.
Sleeper troll interfacing with noob troll alert!
What do you base that on? This article? Did you actually watch the interview?

Nonsense. He said nothing that was pro Putin. He’s going through what attacking Iran might do. Someone has to because people cheer on war and are utterly clueless at the possibility that everything won’t go according to plan. They make it sound easy, like you’ll be greeted as liberator. Apparently almost no one has learner anything over the last 20 years. It won’t go according to plan. Talking about possibilities is not pro Putin or Anti American. Get a grip.
Wow, Mooch is the biggest man in that photo.
MacGreggor and Tucker are now pushing a barely veiled anti-Israel rhetoric exactly the same way they have been pushing against Ukraine’s right to defend itself for over one and a half years now.
