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."

I don’t think Tucker is an Anti-Semite. I do think he is a biblically alliterate moron.
Just saying.....
We agree completely here.
You are right, I should pray for him.
Good idea. Right response.
My opinion of Tucker is decidedly mixed. Some of his product is excellent, while some is horrible. Therefore I’m usually only mildly interested.
In this case, he is correct. There are Christians in Gaza, although not near as many as there were. But there are still thousand if not tens of thousands, and some of them may even be descendants of the disciples of Christ. They should not be ignored, or slaughtered.
That Tucker is speaking to this is surprising. Conspiracy theorists have him pegged as a Kabbalist due to that red string wristband he’s often pictured wearing.
Exactly.
Yep
one thing one must never, ever do, is criticize Israel in any way whatsoever.
Tucker is over the target on this, like he is on most issue.
I don't think it is possible to commit "war crimes" against muslims, because they aren't civilized enough to follow the rules of warfare. If they launch a single rocket from a hospital, Israel has every right, and indeed a duty to level that 'hospital' to the ground.
Boy, there are tons of hate keywords against Tucker Carlson on this post. Wish I could read who added them (moderators can). If you hate Tucker, I assume you’re an anti-Semite - to be ignored.
What does SPLC have to do with Jews?
I must’ve skipped that in my brief read through of article, because I didn’t realize it NEVER said what anti-Semitic things Carlson said. Now I know it was nothing. Thank you for this summary.
Russia and Iran-first Tucker isn’t America first. He’ll stop being anti-China the second they do anything on Taiwan
Orthodox rabbis still curse the Ameleks. We are required to.
They certainly remember the more recent Crusades, Inquisition, pogroms, and Holocaust, and they hate Christendom for it.
Some do. Grievance rots the mind and soul. Look in the mirror, before you fall to the same pathology
Newsweak. LOL,LOL birdcage liner!!!
