I used to enjoy the occasional Tucker Carlson monologue on Fox News. His content was usually pointed and amusing and delivered with a breezy charm. But I rarely bothered with a Tucker Carlson interview. As an interviewer, too often, I found him strangely incurious and glib instead of breezy.
But his interview on Tuesday with Reverend Munther Isaac was so much worse than merely glib or incurious.
Carlson chose to interview Isaac to find out how the Jewish State of Israel treats Christians. Isaac is a priest who neither lives nor works in Israel and who uses the loaded phrase "Occupied Palestine" as his location on his Twitter/X profile. He is a Palestinian Christian from Palestinian-controlled Bethlehem, where Christian ministers serve at the mercy of the Palestinian Authority.
These things would have been nice to know before, during, or after the interview. Barring providing context, Carlson could have conducted a second interview with a Christian priest who actually does live and work in Israel. Or he could have spoken to them both at the same time in a discussion/debate format. Or maybe Carlson could have at least asked Isaac more pointed and revealing questions.
But he did none of these things. Why not?
For what it's worth, Palestinian Authority diplomat/propagandist Husam Zomlot endorsed the interview, calling it "an important interview and a powerful voice."
But there's more.
Did Carlson not know before he chose to interview Isaac that Bethlehem was 80% Christian before the Palestinian Authority took it over and that now it is 80% Muslim? Was Carlson unaware before the interview that the Arab world has been on a decades-long ethnic cleansing of Christians from their ancient communities in the Middle East and North Africa?

Make no mistake - Tucker has a problem with the US helping Israel.
No Christian organization, let alone Turning Point USA, should be endorsing this approach. It’s enough to have the pro-Hamas, liberal, woke and antisemitic mob in that camp…
Are you some kind of biologist?
That is what I am hearing from posts on Amir Tsarfati’s Telegram. Shame on TUCKER!!!! And Shame on Charlie Kirk if he has Tucker on and promotes this!!!
He gets a tingle when he sees The Tucker.
“Putin and the Palistians are not the same.”
Let me see - hmmm, Putin is alligned with the Mullahs in Tehran and Hamas is alligned with the Mullahs in Tehran.
Hmmmmm?????
Yes, I know that is your argument, but it is spacious.
Dan Crenshaw is Big mad at Tucker

Theater fail.
Some info with sources. This "Evangelical Luthern" is spun out of Anabaptist Mennonite cloth, polished by the Brits as they lose their own Church of England. He is not representative of "the Christian community" of Bethlehem, many of whom have fled militant Islam.
Bethlehem Bible College is Accredited by:This particular "Evangelical Lutheran" fellow as dean of the little school asserts the "Abrahamic" source of Judaism, Christianity AND Islam. The notion than Islam is in any manner a sister religion to Judaism and Christianity is a "new age" Obama-ism, as was spouted by John Kerry and his ilk. Geopolitics as religion still ends up be geopolitics. And we mix in the fact that our own FBI asserts that traditional Catholics, as an example, as like homegrown terrorists. Carlson's team did not do their homework.

A pastor from Jerusalem gave Bishara the first offering towards his dream: $20. The group formed a board with leaders from different backgrounds, including Orthodox, Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican, and Evangelical. Hope Christian School made its campus available and Bethlehem Bible College began evening classes with 9 students."

One recalls that Tariq Assiz who worked for Saddam Hussein as Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs, was an Arab Christian. He was both a socialist member of the Ba'ath Party and of the Chaldean Catholic Church. Not all Christians are the same, nor do they all hold actually similar beliefs, as one watches the rift between the Evangelical Lutherans and schismatic Lutherans who reject the LGBT+ stance of the ELCA.
Listen, there is nothing wrong with interviewing people and listening to what they have to say. There’s going to be a problem if all you have is people from 1 point of view all the time but if you interview people from all sorts of sides and listen to what they have to say; you’re doing a good job.
Isn’t that what we all complain about? A MSM that is hellbent leftist? Fox News and other opinion sites on conservative or right side do the same. Wouldn’t it be nice to have more balanced information? Let people expose themselves for their own idiocy out of their own mouths? Or show their brilliance and moral fiber?
That’s what I want! I am sick to death of people trying to spoon feed me their opinions disguised as news.
Maybe you mean specious.
I admit it may be a stretch, but who knows how Carlson’s latest threads are connected.
I guess I was wrong. I figured Trucker probably interviewed Reverend Ike because he said Jesus was a space alien. /s
I’m a Christian Zionist who watches Tucker Carlson not a Globalist Zionist like Glenn Beck.
Israel needs to kick some butt what’s holding them back.
But there’s nothing wrong with discussing human suffering in regard to the Palestinians on the current battlefield and even historically.
Those Gulf Arab Sheikhs need to give a rip about Palestinians because as I see it they don’t.
Too frickin mixed up with the Globalist Moderates who rule over us.
If the Saudi’s etc. did care about Palestinians the home for them would be built in Southern Jordan and Saudi Arabia not Judea and Samaria (The West Bank).
Why are you calling him a priest, when that’s not what he is?
Maybe you’re as bad as Tucker is. You’re fraudulently trying to whip a patriot against Catholics even though it has nothing to do with this.
Your obsession with Tucker is creepy stalker ish.
.
Tucker helped his boss Rupert Murdoch steal the election for Brandon. And he went radio silent about The Steal until after Brandon was inaugurated.
He’s not alone in that.
