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.

Nope, that is childish attempt at diversion
You are making a claim. You are required to defend your statements. It absurdly infantile of you to post what you just posted
If you cannot make a rational statement for your views, don’t waste out time with this sort of buffoonish bombastic response. You are just embarrassing yourself here.
Either act like a rational adult or get treated like a hysteric child. The choice is yours.

Just another puffy, Neocon windbag destined for obscurity.
Thanks!
No, I thank you for allowing me to show the board what a Re-Animator looks like! Please continue.
Keep monitoring me. I’m flattered by your clinical interest.
Who’s monitoring you? You’re a Drone. You add nothing and say nothing. What was your prior screen name?
What are you? Ex-Stasi?
Get a life.
I don’t have to prove a damn thing to you. Run along now.
That didn't take long.
Have they called you troll or worse like they do me when I don’t agree with them
Lots Russian sympathizers here. Lots people here who couldn’t give a crap about genocide and who iy care that a gallon of gas is 1$ more then last year.
Lots people here have their morals twisted.
Bunch of turds they are and Putin lovers
Pretty %#@! sad.
If we conducted our foreign policy with the simple maxim "kill 1 of ours, we kill 10 of yours" then we would not need 750 bases all over the world, 5 or 6 would get us by.
LOL. Almost invariably, Carlson aligns with America and her interests. We are NOT the policemen of the world. If Israel wants to kill off the any muslim group in the world, they can have at it as far as I'm concerned. It is not up to us to bankroll it. It simply isn't our problem or our fight, much like the kleptocracy of ukraine.
These threads are great for identifying deep state potted plants.
USA-FRANCE LOL got your white flags ready for when the scumbag muslims invading your country continue their rampages?
After 80 years of carrying the World on its back, maybe it time the US voters start asking the questions Carlson is asking.
It’s the quite the opposite in reality. Americans have spent the last 80 years benefiting from the US economic and military policy. Our standard of living reflects that. But please do continue with your fantastical day dreams if that is your hobby of choice.
The Radical Islamic Terrorists are all over Western nations....
Hamas and many other terrorist groups have sleeping cells over America, France, Sweden, EU.... you name it.
This shows just how ignorant you are, they want American money to spend for their defense, freeing their money for other expenditures. what a useful idiot you are.
Like I said enjoy what is coming to our country, that this administration is purposely allowing you clueless twit.
Agree completely.
The Holy Grail has been a two-state solution, a terrorist state next to Israel. Monroe didn’t even want a European presence in the Americas, yet we foist a two-state “solution” on Israel.
