Tucker Carlson’s shift from provocative media personality to a figure openly giving platforms to Holocaust revisionism and coded antisemitic tropes shows a disturbing trajectory. His kind of criticisms of Israel, invocation of classic antisemitic cliches (such as Jewish conspiracies and collective guilt), and lack of theological credibility undermine any claim to being a genuine Christian defender of Judeo-Christian values.
Most Christians support Israel, and many conservative thinkers have long resisted Carlson’s frameworks of victim-blaming, replacement theory, and false equivalencies. His recent actions show how hidden antisemitism can suddenly reveal itself -- and with influential amplifiers.

On October 13, 2025, the popular Australian political commentator Erin Molan interviewed Dinesh D’Souza (creator of the film The Dragon’s Prophecy). D’Souza told Molan: “Tucker Carlson and Candace Owen are advancing outlandish theories to gain respectability that are outside the bounds of Christianity for 2000 years. I think deep down Carlson knows that he is somewhat of a shallow and superficial person. He has a very clever sort of technique… to inject a lot of stupidity and poisoning into the debate. That is provocational tactics to me.”
Yet on Carlson’s October 4, 2025 podcast, he said that: “Israel is a tiny country and is not critical to the US national security.” This statement reveals Carlson’s bias and ignorance. Our own government confirms Israel’s importance: “Israel has been designated as a U.S. Major non-NATO Ally under U.S. law.” Moreover, the prestigious Heritage Foundation stated: “The U.S.-Israel relationship is one of America’s most strategically vital partnerships, anchored in shared democratic values and common threats.”

Carlson did not push back on Cooper’s claims and even called him “the most important popular historian working in the United States today.” Because Carlson gave a platform to someone who claimed the deaths of millions of Jews were unintended, he engaged in what many regard as clear promotion of antisemitic revisionism. That conduct -- especially from someone who purports to hold Christian and conservative values -- reveals a far deeper level of antisemitism, previously hidden or at least less overt.
“Tucker Carlson invoked the wrath of conservative influencers and commentators after he interviewed his most controversial guest to date, Nick Fuentes.”

When Fox fired him, I was upset, believing that he was trustworthy. Boy, was Fox right.
Tucker and Candice Owens have gone off the deep end.
. What? Like the 2nd Amendment? Do Israeli citizens finallt have the God given right to keep and bear arms?
this part kind of bothers me....

OK, whether Israel is vital to our national security is not answered by an appeal to authority. It is answered by stating why that is true logically, not by quoting folks that claim it.
Can someone here logically explain why it is so critical, more so than say Jordan?
No, only we do. Tucker needs prayer
He has a VERY hard heart.
Levin calls him “Qatarlson”
Wasn’t an avid follower, but I first noticed Greenwald promoting anti-Israeli rhetoric.
then Candace
then Carlson
then MTG
under the translucent shroud of MAGA of course...
If the second amendment is the main issue regarding “shared democratic value”, then only a few countries in the world “share” our Democratic values.
Among them: Mexico ( yes THAT Mexico ), Guatemala and The Czech Republic.
“When Fox fired him, I was upset, believing that he was trustworthy. Boy, was Fox right.”
Ditto. Him and Candace are stuck on stupid.
It's gotten a lot better in the last 2 years.
Donald Trump dined with white nationalist, Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes
The former president hosted Fuentes and Kanye West at Mar-a-Lago. He said it was “quick and uneventful.”
"Former President Donald Trump hosted white nationalist and antisemite Nick Fuentes at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach on Tuesday night, according to multiple people familiar with the event.
Fuentes, who frequently posts racist content in addition to Holocaust revisionism, was brought as a guest of rapper Kanye West, who now goes by Ye."

Or... maybe they were always in the deep end, but just hid it well and managed to fool many for a while.
Could they reject the Covid vaccine?
My understanding was the author was not denying the Holocaust happened. He had a different view about how fast the SS plans, scale, and other details were developed.
RE: Can someone here logically explain why it is so critical, more so than say Jordan?
For me ( without appealing to our government ), Israel’s survival is strategically important to U.S. national security because it serves as a forward ally in a volatile region, disrupts hostile networks, shares cutting-edge defense technology, and reinforces democratic norms in the Middle East.
AS for comparing it with say, Jordan, Israel’s strategic capabilities, technological contributions, and regional deterrence posture, which far exceed what Jordan provides.
And I also think that The concept of shared Judeo-Christian values is often invoked to describe the cultural, ethical, and philosophical common ground between the United States and Israel — and it plays a subtle but powerful role in shaping their strategic bond.
- Both societies are rooted in biblical ethics that emphasize:
- Human dignity
- Justice and mercy
- Rule of law
- Covenant and accountability
These values underpin Western legal traditions, including:
- The U.S. Constitution’s emphasis on rights and responsibilities
- Israel’s Basic Laws and democratic institutions.
The shared moral grammar helps reinforce mutual trust, legal cooperation, and cultural affinity.
As for Jordan, hey, it is NOT mutually exclusive. We support Jordan because its monarchy is key to the stability of the region, just as Israel is. It’s not a either or thing. It’s a BOTH/AND thing.
Israel is a Western, democratic country surrounded by hostile neighbors. They deserve our support.
But like you, I do not see Israel as vital to our national security. The best defense I’ve seen for that opinion is that Israel is “an unsinkable aircraft carrier”. Well, okay. But when have we really needed that?
Don’t get me wrong. I support Israel. But my reasons for that are, I think, rational ones.
“promoting anti-Israeli rhetoric.”
I wouldn’t call pointing out incidences where the Israeli lobby applies undue influence on our government as anti-Israeli rhetoric.
RE: the author was not denying the Holocaust happened. He had a different view about how fast the SS plans, scale, and other details were developed.
Yep, in short, The Nazis and Hitler ain’t so bad, just misguided. The implication then is, it’s OK today to be a Nazi today as long as you don’t implement things the way the German Nazis did.
That’s the author’s thesis, and Carlson, by his silence and not pushing back, shows his approval of this thesis.
