Tucker Carlson has sparked ire among several conservative commentators after interviewing a Palestinian pastor, who discussed how the ongoing Israel-Hamas war has affected Christians in the region.

“This is mendacious hit piece that shows Tucker's generally well-hidden hand. The Christian population of Bethlehem all but disappeared after the PLO took over in 1996 due to Islamic persecution. The only Christian population in the Middle East that is growing is the Christian community in Israel. The Christian community in Gaza disappeared after Hamas took over in 2005.”

Darrell C. Scott, a pastor and vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump, opined that Carlson "is trying to spark anti Jewish sentiments among Christians."
Breitbart Senior Editor-at-Large Joel Pollak responded with a lengthy thread, commenting of Carlson: "He says he is concerned about Christians; I'll accept that. But there's no excuse for this."
"First, a fact about Bethlehem. Christians used to be a majority there; they are now a minority," Pollak continued. "The Palestinian Authority has been Islamizing the city since taking control of Bethlehem 30 years ago. Israeli 'occupation' is hardly the primary issue."
"Another fact: Bethlehem has become an antisemitic city under Palestinian control, far worse to Jews than even to Christians," Pollak went on to state. "In 2007, I was told not to speak Hebrew there; in 2023, I was told to remove my yarmulke, or cover it with a hat. In the birthplace of Jesus, a Jew."

Instead of condemning Israel, Tucker should be praying for them Tucker should be praying for them, and crying out for their Salvation. as JESUS did on before he entered Jerusalem to die for our sins. Tucker is completely biblical ignorant.
He accused Israel of Genocide.
I told you not to post to me. I don’t want posts from idiots who post Stalin with a Maga hat. DO NOT DO IT!
I agree with President Trump. Israel has been TOO WEAK in fighting this war.
Pardon my intrusion...
Trump rocks!
And I just explained his position on Israel, and it is the correct one.
He criticized them for going overboard in their response. Meaning you don't punish babies and children indiscriminately. He also agreed that they have done harm to the non violent Palestinian churches that have nothing to do with Hamas.
The idea that criticizing things Israel has done makes somebody antisemitic is simply not true.
Again, I agree with President Trump. Israel has been TOO SOFT in fighting this war. It should have been over long ago. We fought all the way in World War 2.
True, it makes them a moron.
ha! now you’re in trouble:)
I have no problem with agreeing with that. Allowing this administration to make them stand down from responding to Hamas has been a mistake.
Here’s my opinion from October 7, 2023.
It hasn’t changed one iota, except I have become even more hardline:

Listen, you. I don’t support Z. I do support ISrael, and Tucker is being a moron for saying that Israel is going to far, when Israel has in fact, been far too soft. Open up a bible.
He is a charter member of the “Zero Sense of Humor Club”
Ok, I did not know that. I certainly don’t support Z. Tucker can be completely right on Ukraine, and completely wrong on the other. And we don’t need to get involved.
I am reading that you meant those who think criticizing Israel for doing wrong things are antisemites are actually morons.
