Tucker Carlson Attacks Israel in Latest Antisemitic Rant

Tucker Carlson, once a mainstream media personality, has now openly embraced antisemitic conspiracy theories and anti-Israel rhetoric in a deeply troubling podcast interview that’s sparked national outrage.

Appearing on the Shawn Ryan Show, Carlson called Israel “a tiny, irrelevant country” that “orders around” the United States. He went further, claiming “95 percent of members of Congress take money from a foreign lobby, AIPAC,” and branded Israel “America’s most insulting problem.” His comments mirrored classic antisemitic tropes about Jewish control of U.S. politics and disloyalty.

But Carlson didn’t stop there. He praised notorious white supremacist Nick Fuentes, saying, “His message is… well, that’s certainly true,” aligning himself with one of the most vocal haters of Jews in the American political landscape. Carlson also ranted about Zionism, equating it with “tribalism” and comparing it to Nazi ideology, claiming it undermines Western values.

“There are enemies of Western civilization,” he said. “An attack on Western civilization looks like this… Zionism.” Carlson added that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is “literally” the “main enemy” of the West an absurd and incendiary accusation with dangerous implications.

Carlson attempted to soften the blow with a hollow claim that he “wishes Israel well.” But his words carried the unmistakable echoes of hate that have historically been used to justify violence and exclusion of Jews from public life.

As antisemitism surges across the political spectrum, voices like Carlson’s fuel a toxic atmosphere where anti-Jewish bigotry is masked as political critique. The danger is not just in the words spoken, but in the normalization of such rhetoric on major platforms and among audiences already radicalized.

Carlson’s latest tirade is not a one-off it’s part of a growing wave of hate where Jews and Israel are demonized, distorted, and made into scapegoats. These aren’t just offensive remarks they’re threats to truth, decency, and safety.

Now more than ever, it’s critical to push back against this kind of hate. Share this article and stay informed by subscribing to our newsletter.
