Tucker Carlson recently made headlines with his anti-Jewish rant during his podcast interview of Nick Fuentes, a commentator with antisemite beliefs. They cleverly displayed their racial prejudice under the guise of questioning Israel’s prominent place in world affairs.
Although Tucker Carlson professes to be a Christian, the dialogue between the two turned ugly as they attacked what they called “Christian Zionists,” referring to them as having a “brain virus.” They ridiculed the belief of believers like us who believe that Israel has a special place in future Bible prophecy as God’s chosen people.
During the podcast, Carlson displayed his unmistakable bias against the Jewish people while at the same time mocking millions of believers. If he had done so against the blacks or Hispanics, his career as a journalist might be short-lived at best. Instead, many conservatives continue to revere him.
What lies behind his hatred for the Jewish people? Is it not the teaching that God has rejected Israel?
Antisemitism Often Begins Inside the Walls of Churches
Based upon Carlson’s comments and his claims to be a Christian, it’s evident that he adheres to a form of Replacement Theology. This teaching asserts that God rejected the Jewish people after Jesus’ crucifixion and replaced Israel with the church. In other words, there’s no future restoration of a kingdom to Israel and no thousand-year reign of Jesus over the nations. The church inherited God’s kingdom promises to the nation of Israel, albeit spiritually rather than physically.
Historically, the anti-Jewish mindset of those who have held to Replacement Theology beliefs has never stayed within the walls of the church. During the Spanish Inquisition of the fifteenth century, the Catholic Church turned its fury against Jews as well as Protestants. Propelled by its belief that it was God’s true kingdom on earth, they forced hundreds of thousands to either convert or face torture and, in many cases, death. Because of its errant beliefs regarding Israel, the Catholic church persecuted the Jews during this time and forced as many as 100,000 of them to leave their homes in Spain.
Martin Luther, who also taught that God had rejected Israel, preached an angry sermon against the Jews after they failed to convert to Christianity. Adolf Hitler later used this message as a part of his justification for the holocaust.
Now we have a highly respected and influential conservative journalist taking his errant beliefs regarding Israel outside the church walls to the world. His words will influence many Americans, which will give Satan the opportunity to turn his angry words into hatred for the Jewish people. Carlson’s words are music to the ears of Israel’s enemies.
Pastors who deny Israel’s place in Bible prophecy or refuse to talk about Bible prophecy from the pulpit create a vacuum that the enemy seeks to fill with hatred for God’s chosen people. Please know I’m not saying that false teaching is the only reason for today’s rampant antisemitism, but it is one of them.
The Resulting Antisemitism Is Divisive
Not only does the antisemitism embedded in Replacement theology spill over into the world, but it also causes much division. Carlson’s comments are already causing divisions among conservatives. In his podcast, he specifically attacked Mike Huckabee and Ted Cruz, who agree with him on most political issues. Another conservative commentator, Mark Levin, has also sharply criticized Carlson.
Senator Ted Cruz responded to Carlson’s put-down at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual summit on October 30, 2025. He said, “In the last six months, I’ve seen more antisemitism on the right than I have in my entire life. This is poison, and I believe we are facing an existential crisis in our party and in our country.”
The popularity of Bible prophecy teachings that come directly from Replacement Theology has long caused divisions among believers, and it’s getting worse. Because we adhere to Premillennial beliefs such as the Rapture, the thousand-year reign of Christ, and the Lord’s future restoration of a kingdom to Israel, we are no longer welcome in many “Bible-believing” churches.
Carlson had this to say about those he described as Christian Zionists: “I dislike them more than anybody … because it’s Christian heresy, and I’m offended by that as a Christian.”
Is this not what Jude wrote about long ago? (verses 17-21) It’s the scoffers, driven by errant theology, who divide the body of Christ.
Antisemitism Is Prophetic
What the Bible reveals about the Tribulation period tells us it will be a horrific time for the Jewish people. Jeremiah 30:7 refers to it as “the time of Jacob’s trouble.” In the Olivet Discourse, Jesus urgently warns the Jewish people living in Israel to flee after the antichrist defiles the temple (Matthew 24:15-22). Zechariah 13:8-9 sadly tells us that only one-third of the Jews will remain alive at the end of the time Jesus refers to as “great tribulation.” It’s this remnant that will turn to Jesus with saving faith.
Twenty-five years ago, one might have said that the nations of the world would never accept such deadly persecution of the Jews. Now, however, we see vast numbers of people marching in support of Hamas in spite of its October 7, 2023, brutal and barbaric massacre of the Jews. Nations openly condemn Israel for seeking to eliminate the deadly threats on its borders.
A sympathizer of Hamas and outspoken antisemitic, Zohran Mamdani, is now the mayor-elect of New York City. As Amir Tsarfati posted on Telegram, many of the Jews who live there are now in fear for their future. Will the Lord use this to bring many of them to Israel?
Is it not ironic that Carlson’s hatred of the Jews and “Christian Zionists” is fulfilling the literal interpretation of Scripture that he ridicules?
The false teaching that God rejected Israel and reneged on His promises to the nation finds its way outside the walls of churches, where it often morphs into antisemitism. It happened in the past. It’s happening now, and make no mistake: it’s music to the ears of those who hate the Jewish people.

Correct.
Correct.
It’s not hatred of Jewish people, and “Christian Zionists” deserve ridicule.
Knowing the truth sets you free (John 8:32).
Believing a lie puts you in bondage.
God’s People are those who follow Him.
Neither crazed Fuentes nor ego-bruised Carlson are theologically astute nor authorities on covenant theology and the classical eschatologies that Christians have held and continue to hold for centuries.
Dispensationalism is a new phenomenon originating in Ireland and remains prominent only among a subset generation of baby boomer Evangelicals in the United States.
Dispensationalism IS Replacement Theology. It replaces the Gospel with Israel.
It replaces 2,000 years of Biblical Christian tradition. It seeks to replace the Gospel with a human militaristic agenda regarding Israel’s current territorial boundaries.
Dispensationalism replaces Jesus as the beginning and end human history.
And it patronizes Jews under the guise of claiming to value them.
Also comes with Rapture countdowns and all sorts of other distracting anti-Christian, anti-Biblical nonsense.
That’s absolutely right.
Racists are under the influence of the “Devil” for sure but they also use drugs, alcohol and pornography outward signs of their allegiance to the “Lower Power”.
My experience as an Antisemite speaks clearly to me.
All over the world the “Lower Power” has people enslaved in evil habits that stand alongside stuff like “Antisemitism”.
In fact the people who hate Palestinians in Israel are in the same boat I was when I was Antisemitic IMHO.
American low church Fundamentalist Protestants don't seem to be able to understand this, but the church could not have been "Bible only" for the first several centuries. First the "new testament" had to be written. Then it had to be canonized. And since all books were hand-written they were extremely expensive and took a long time to reproduce. Most people couldn't afford books, and most people were illiterate as well.
For the first several hundred years--in fact until the invention of the printing press in the mid fifteenth century--people got their teaching from the church, not from the Bible. That's just they way it was and nothing can change it.
When the Bible becomes available and christian history is rejected in favor of a book that tells of the ancient Israelites (and a snapshot of the chrstian church at its birth), naturally the result is "chrstian zionism." This is also why so many Bible-only chrstians are either "Judaizers" or antinomians (the position of each "testament").
I am not pointing this out to defend chrstian orthodoxy. I am exposing chrstian orthodoxy and asking--begging, really, for all the good it will do--all philo-Semitic low church Protestant chrstians to consider that the "true" version of chrstianity cannot be one that could never have existed at the time, and to give a serious hearing to the idea that Torah Judaism is still the True Religion and to become Noahides.
Your tone is off but the fact remains that you don’t have to be a Dispensationalist to support Israel’s fight against Islamic Terrorism.
I am not a dispensationalist. I am a Noahide.
I support Israel because I support the restoration of ancient Theocratic Israel in all its fullness, under a restored Davidic monarchy with the Temple service in full swing.
Chrstianity is a false religion.
This Rapture Ready trend is thankfully fizzling out as the old guard retires and younger pastors take the helms of churches.
It will also hopefully repair the Christian witness in Israel. Many people there equate Christianity with a bizarre apocalyptic political grift agenda instead of with the love and grace of Jesus Christ.
Yep. Jew hater.
Chrstianity is a false religion.
...
So is Islam.
So is Judaism.
But that’s why there was about 2,000 cubits in the Old Testament, and about 2,000 demon possessed swine in the New Testament.
And why Nadab/Abihu, Er/Onan, and Zerah-Peres-Zerah was our lessons to the modern priesthoods of Aaron and Judah.
Fully corrupted, offering strange fire, a breach, and it will be until the Light (Zerah) that left, returns after the breach (Peres)
Bet they don’t preach that in Torah Judaism
/s
The cause of the modern wave of anti-semitism is the behavior of Israel...especially towards America, and using the holocaust as a shield for their incredibly boorish and often sickening behavior.
And it’s the height of arrogance for Judaism to demand and expect loyalty of Christians while calling Jesus a fraud burning in hell in excrement.
Even Charlie Kirk was asking some pointed questions about Israeli behavior.
The inflection point was when on that Friday, Blondie said she saw tens of thousands of sickening videos from Epstein Island, had everything on her desk etc.
Bibi meets with Trump on Saturday.
Monday Trump comes out and says no files exist, only losers care about it and nobody ever cared about it.
...nope, if you don’t believe in Jesus’ return for a 1000 year reign, what do you believe in?
Judaism is a race? I thought it was a religion.
Read Galations 3 and 4.
Aside from that. Anyone who denies the son denies the father.
Nobody gets to the father unless they go through the son.
Anyone who denies the son and so denies the father is an antichrist and are sons of satan.
Those who claim to be Jews and are not are of the Church of satan....Jesuses dictation to John in the letters to the 7 churches.
End of story.
