‘Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens don’t represent American Christians when it comes to Israel’
World Israel News ^ | 4/11/24 | David Rosenberg

Posted on 04/12/2024 5:15:14 PM PDT by Roman_War_Criminal

Victor Davis Hanson, a historian and professor emeritus of California State University, Fresno, pushed back on criticism of Israel on the American Right, adding that recent comments by right-wing pundits like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens do not represent the conservative movement or the American Religious Right.

Hanson, who has frequently appeared as a guest on Carlson’s now-cancelled Fox News show, “Tucker Carlson Tonight”, and his current, independently-produced “Tucker Carlson Uncensored,” spoke with Megyn Kelly on Wednesday regarding the rise in anti-Israel rhetoric on the American Right.

Ignorant Arguments about Christians and Israel

“Most of the evangelical community I know is still very pro-Israel,” Hanson said.

“I think what we’re talking about is the libertarian, right intellectual movement. I know that Tucker Carlson is voicing things, Candace Owens has, the CATO Institute has been very vocal.”

“But I don’t think it represents most Christians, much less most Americans. But I don’t know quite what their argument is because I’ve seen so many of them.”

“It doesn’t take a lot of brains to say ‘there’s 500 million people in the Middle East and there’s 12 million that live in a democratic government.’ And that is the only democratic constitutional system there.”

After Tucker was forced from Fox, I’ve noticed that Candace and Jason Whitlock also are no longer featured on the network.

Yes, I fear for the United States. I’ve been worried about cultural marxist control of education for over 30 years. And you celebrate it.

The Birchites at The New American also have a couple of articles by a "palaeolibertarian" attacking Israel and accusing it genocide while completely ignoring the 10/7 attack.

I grew up a pro-Israel Fundamentalist (which I still am, really) and I learned in a really hard way how most (historical) chrstians and conservatives hate the Jews' guts and apparently actually believe in the Protocols.

Even Southern Baptist Jesse Helms was originally anti-Israel!

“I stand with Israel” does nothing. It just shows many here care more about a foreign country.

Rhodesia was a foreign country, but that didn't keep you from caring about it.

I’m sorry to say that I agree with you on your assessment.

Sickos like Helms, Pat Buchanan, and others (do we really need to name them?) who hate Israel are jerks and horrible with their belief in replacement theology.

Heck even Calvin towards the end of his life became one.

The only thing that makes sense to me about everybody hating Israel is that it is demonically inspired.

Those who subscribe to it have demonic influences in their lives.

You come across as very Christophobic. The violence and persecution committed by Israeli Jews against Israeli Christians is damnable and satanic.

So what if Jews have been persecuted? Armenians, Belarusians and Russians have suffered mightily. In case you didn’t know, Armenians have suffered GENOCIDE by the Turks. In fact, Turkey is using their client state Azerbaijan to continue continue with their continuing slaughter of Christian Armenians. Yet, Israel sides with the murderous Azeris and even denies the existence of the Armenian Genocide. Shameful.

FYI, Armenia was the First Nation to adopt Christianity.

For the record, I don’t support Hamas. The majority of Palestinians are trouble and I have no problem with Israel attempting to destroy Hamas. Hamas started this current mess.

I just get angry when an ignorant person ( not referring to you) accuses someone of being a Nazi if the aforementioned person dares to criticize Israel.

One more thing: Can someone please enlighten me as to the motivation of Israel’s attack of the USS Liberty? That event took place before my time and we didn’t really learn about it in school. I just wanted an unbiased explanation of the incident.
