Tucker Carlson Sparks Outrage by Allowing Pastor to Blame Christian Zionists for Oct. 7. Tucker Carlson allowed Bethlehem Pastor Munther Isaac to use his platform to sanitize the October 7 massacre. Without a single interruption, Carlson sat silent as Isaac blamed American Christian Zionists for the deaths of "thousands of Palestinians" on October 7th.
JFeed Staff. Feb 16, 2026.
.. commentator Tucker Carlson did not interrupt or challenge his guest during a recent interview when [antisemitic] Rev. Munther Isaac, a Palestinian Lutheran pastor from Bethlehem, appeared to hold Christian Zionists responsible for the deaths of "thousands of Palestinians" on October 7, 2023, the date of Hamas's massacre that killed over 1,200 Israelis and took 250 hostages. In the clip, which has circulated widely on X since Sunday, Isaac ties evangelical Christian support for Israel directly to the casualties on that day amid the ongoing Gaza war.
Carlson, who has hosted Isaac on multiple occasions, maintained his characteristic impassive expression and allowed the claim to pass without rebuttal.
Isaac, pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Christmas Church in Bethlehem and head of the Bethlehem Institute for Peace and Justice, has a documented history of downplaying or reframing the October 7 atrocities. In a sermon the day after the attack, he praised the "strength of the Palestinian man" and described the Hamas assault as "the embodiment of the injustice that has befallen us as Palestinians since the Nakba[sic] until now."
The interview continues Carlson's pattern of featuring Palestinian Christian voices critical of Israel... while rarely platforming pro-Israel perspectives from the same community...
Commentators, including Joel Mowbray, who first amplified the clip, condemned the segment as part of Carlson's "long & deep pattern" of allowing "dangerously misleading/false allegations against Israel to go unchallenged."

While Islamic Qatar's America-last Tucker Carlson is in-search-of Islamo-Christians Arab propagandists... thereby promoting Islamization. 2.16.26.

The topic of **persecution of Christians by Muslims**, particularly in the context of **Palestinians**:

Arab Palestinian Christians (a small minority, now around 1% of the population in the West Bank and Gaza) face pressures from multiple sources,, economic hardship, and restrictions under both the **Palestinian Authority (PA)** in the West Bank and **Hamas** in Gaza. .

Reports from Christian advocacy organizations and some analyses highlight instances of discrimination, harassment, social pressure, and occasional violence from Muslim-majority Palestinian society or authorities, often linked to **Islamic oppression**, second-class treatment (echoing historical dhimmi status), employment discrimination, family/societal pressure on converts from Islam, and fears of Islamization. These factors contribute to significant **emigration** of Palestinian Christians over decades, with the population declining sharply under PA and Hamas control (from ~11% in 1922 to ~1% today in those areas).

Key points and sources include:

- **Open Doors** (a major tracker of Christian persecution) classifies the Palestinian Territories as experiencing Islamic oppression, with converts from Islam facing severe family and societal pressure (extreme in Gaza). The Israel-Hamas war has caused major harm, but pre-existing vulnerabilities for converts and minority Christians are noted.
: 1

- **International Christian Concern (persecution.org)** reports ongoing pressures under Hamas in Gaza (e.g., second-class status, past attacks like the 2007 murder of a Christian bookstore manager, and fears for converts), and similar issues in PA areas, contributing to exodus and risk of the community's disappearance in Gaza. 2 -3

- A BESA Center analysis and older reports describe widespread discrimination, violence, vandalism, and pressure not to report incidents under PA rule, leading to fears of escalating Muslim aggression and abandonment by authorities. 4

- A Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs (JCFA) study attributes the drastic decline in Christian numbers under PA/Hamas rule to religious/legal discrimination, desecration of sites, social exclusion, and harassment (including of clergy). 5

- Historical reports (e.g., a detailed paper on human rights of Christians in Palestinian society) link emigration to post-Oslo empowerment of the PA, corruption, lawlessness, and perceived religious persecution from Muslim neighbors/PA. 6

- Broader context from sources like the **U.S. State Department** religious freedom reports notes that Hamas has not prosecuted some anti-Christian cases in Gaza.7 (and related excerpts)

Though facing hardship from "Muslims especially by Palestinians," the Christian population thrives and grows in Israel proper by contrast, per multiple reports.

[Mount Athos]

This is stupid.

The pastor said this, not Tucker.

They twist and twist to demonize tucker.

[Jan_Sobieski]

When Israel controlled Gaza, Christians thrived. Once Gaza was handed over to the Islamic savages in 2005 the Christian population began its precipitous decline. Fromm 5000 in 2005, it was down to 800 in 2023. Decades of persecution, rape, and murder drove them out.

[pissant]

It’s just Tucker being Cucker. Won’t be long until he transitions and joins some sheik’s haram. Then he will be known as Sucker

[Jan_Sobieski]

Tucker deserves to be called out. He’s a paid Islamic shill who now trafficks the virtues of sharia law, while trumpeting Israeli genocide

[Republican Wildcat]

Actually - you twist and twist to defend him. There’s certainly no excuse for defending him at this point.

Tucker Carlson has taken aim at Israel again, accusing the Israeli government and its supporters of engaging in a campaign to promote fear of Islamic extremism and terrorism, while he downplayed the threat of violence by radical Islamic groups. During the 26-minute interview, Carlson claimed that radical Islam is not a threat to the United States, accusing the Israeli government of fomenting fears of Islamism. “I don’t know anyone in the United States in the last 24 years who’s been killed by radical Islam. You know, I know a lot of people who have killed themselves, a lot,” Carlson said [Fort Hood, Florida Night Club, etc.?] . Notably, in 2014, Steve Sotloff, a contributor to Carlson’s outlet, The Daily Caller, was beheaded by ISIS terrorists in northern Syria. ... Carlson went on to accuse Israel, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, of “mass murder” in the Gaza Strip.

[Jan_Sobieski]

They twist and twist to demonize tucker.

No twisting required at all. Just quoting Tucker reveals his bias

[bray]

I am proud to be a Christian Zionist. I love Israel and God’s Chosen people.

[aimhigh]

The pastor said this, not Tucker.
They twist and twist to demonize tucker.

Yah, Tucker is just being exactly like the CNN reporters who let liberals lie and smear without challenging them. Tucker is a sellout.

‘Bulls***’: Tucker Carlson Mounts Full-Throated Defense of Mamdani From Anti-Semitism Charges and Slams ‘Ethno-Narcissist’ Jews

---------------------------------------------

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4262726/posts Carlson’s interview on Tuesday with alleged historian Darryl Cooper — like his interview in April with Reverend Munther Isaac, referenced in today’s flashbacks — was so much worse than merely glib or incurious.

Carlson chose to interview Cooper, whom he endorsed as “the best and most honest popular historian in the United States” to learn exactly how World War II didn’t happen. According to Cooper — and Carlson nodded along the entire time — Winston Churchill was perhaps “the chief villain of the Second World War” and “primarily responsible for that war becoming what it did.”

It’s true that Hitler did not want or expect Britain to fight. He wanted Britain to acquiesce to German dominance of Europe from the Urals to Gibraltar and subsume the UK to Nazi interests. This is all a matter of historical record. Britain could fight or submit — that was Hitler’s choice, not Churchill’s.

FLASHBACK: 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.

To: fruser1 <> This is more Tucker's speed - along with his segment on the "benefits" of tanning your testicles, which he aired 2 years ago.

He is way too **** retarded for anything serious, like foreign policy.

Christians highlight Israel's biblical roots to Hague court (7.17.24)

Nearly 1,000 Christians from 45 countries submitted a decree to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, supporting Israel’s biblical connection to the Holy Land, particularly East Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria, ahead of a crucial ruling on their legal status. This decree, delivered before the ICJ’s decision on the legality of Israel’s control over these areas, was signed by Christian leaders, including former U.S. Congresswoman Michele Bachmann and Pastor Satish Kumar of Calvary Temple Church in India. The declaration asserts that these lands belong to Israel and are an inheritance of the Jewish people, emphasizing that dividing them contradicts biblical teachings.

The case was brought to the court following a U.N. General Assembly vote in December 2022, asking for a non-binding opinion on the disputed areas, often referred to as “Occupied Palestinian Territory.” The U.N. vote, which passed despite U.S. opposition, has been criticized by Israel, with Prime Minister Netanyahu arguing that it distorts historical facts.

Evangelical leaders like Jack van der Tang and David Parsons voiced concerns about the potential impact of the ICJ ruling, asserting that it could delegitimize Israel and make peace less likely by ignoring the views of millions of Christians who support Israel's connection to the land.

We came to support this initiative in The Hague to make sure the justices at the World Court heard the perspectives of tens of millions of God-fearing Christians worldwide who stand with the Jewish people’s 4,000-year-old claim and connection to the Land of Israel.

It would not be just or fair for the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to be allowed to present their shameful annihilist view on the very existence of Israel, while an even larger global Christian constituency was being ignored.

Andrew Tucker of The Hague Initiative for International Cooperation warned that such a ruling could damage the court’s legitimacy and worsen the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Uhhh, people could just ignore him. His reach is much smaller these days, that’s why he’s gone hinky. If he acted normal, he wouldn’t make any money.

His reach, by now , consists of millions of Arabs of the Middle East...not so popular any more here.

[Resolute Conservative]

First time I saw him and his bow tie I knew he was an effeminate loser.

[Chewbarkah]

I’m not the official Carlson Defender, but he seems to give people with controversial opinions a forum to have their say. We are too used to media networks and “hosts” censoring all who stray outside the offical line (which is why I’ve never heard of this guy). Idiots generally reveal their fullness of crap without help or delay, letting us judge for ourselves rather than having to trust someone’s opinion.
