Video of Tucker Carlson’s comment.

Tucker Carlson says some good things here. His main blind spot is castigating the American political class f0r their support of Israel (toward the beginning), but very little on how Jewish activism, Jewish media and Jewish money shape the attitudes of political elites. He notes well into his comments that AIPAC should register under the FARA as a foreign lobby but nothing on all the money, pressure and media support Israel gets from the American Jewish community or how politicians (whose only goal really is to get elected) are in fear of them. (Jeffrey Sachs doesn’t help when he says in the second part of the persentation that the American Jewish community is hopelessly divided on Israel—without any attempt to discuss where the power lies. Clearly it’s not with Jewish Voice for Peace or Mondoweiss.) He also notes Netanyahu’s comment that Isreal dominates American politics:

I think the good news is that the government of Israel, in particular, the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has pushed it too far. And he did that in part by running around telling people what he thought was true, apparently, I control Donald Trump. I control the United States Congress. I control the United States. He said that to political allies. And opponents in his country said it to foreign heads of state. Fact. I control these people. Don’t you worry. And by the way, if you kick me out of office, the next guy probably won’t have the level of control that I have. He’s made that case. Openly, verbally, he said it out loud. And that was too much for our president [who then said that he “would not allow” Israel to annex the West Bank].

We’ll see what happens when push comes to shove on West Bank annexation. Trump changes his mind all the time.

Amazingly, he states that IDF officers were at the Pentagon during the 12-day June war with Iran making loud demands: they “enraged American Pentagon staff by just barging into meetings, giving orders, making demands, and nobody did anything about it.” Aggression doesn’t even begin to describe it. And he states (correctly) that Israel roped the U.S. into wars in Iraq and Syria, noting the “Clean Break” manifesto by Richard Perle, David Wurmser, Douglas Feith, and other neocons that advocated for regime change throughout the Middle East. (See Karen Kwiatkowski’s similar comments [beginning at around 15:00] on Israelis “barging through” into the Pentagon to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld’s office and not having to sign in during the Iraq war.”)

He talks about Netanyahu’s term, the “woke Reich,” as if anyone who criticizes Israel is a Nazi. He notes the 1967 USS Liberty outrage where Israel bombed and strafed a U.S. naval ship, killing 34 and wounding 171 and Israel spying on America and selling military secrets and technology to China. He uses Nikki Haley, Mike Johnson, and Lindsey Graham as paradigmatic examples of fealty to Israel.

And he disputes the theology of Christian Zionism, still important for many American idiots. The chosen people are those who choose Christ. Here Tucker seems to be latching on what he terms a Christian revival (fueled at least partly by Charlie Kirk) to get his message out. I believe that he thinks that there is a Christian community in the United States that can ultimately be mobilized to take their own interests in ending foreign interventions, and rolling back immigration and multiculturalism.

He also claims that in the last two years the U.S. has given Israel $30 billion (i.e., not the $3.8 billion/year as usually noted) and that U.S. largesse to Egypt is also the result of Israeli influence.

And he notes Netanyahu’s comment that social media is the big problem in the U.S. and suggests that the real reason there was so much concern about China owning Tik Tok was the desire for censorship on behalf of Israel, especially on Tik Tok and X. But he doesn’t mention that censorship on behalf of Israel is exactly what will happen when Larry Ellison gets control of Tik Tok’s algorithm after the deal is consummated; nor does he mention Ellison’s neocon credentials. Or the fact that Ellison’s protégé, pro-Israel fanatic Bari Weiss, will run CBS. after Ellison’s Paramount bought it. Netanyahu also implied that pressure should be brought on Elon Musk to censor X. Very important that Musk not cave in to such demands.

All this should infuriate Americans, and that is his purpose. It’s great to see a major mainstream conservative with a huge audience talking like this. We are definitely seeing more and more of this (e.g., from podcasts by people like Candace Owens and Judge Napolitano), and that is a good sign indeed. One can only hope that Americans come to be infuriated by Jewish activism and influence on destructive domestic policies like immigration and multiculturalism born ultimately by Jewish hatred toward the people and culture of the West.
