Tucker Carlson, the former Fox newsman who now runs his own podcast, has long been a severe critic of Israel and of Jews. He doesn’t try to hide his anti-Israel animus, nor his antisemitism, but now he has reached new depths of hatred. More on Carlson’s latest display can be found here: “Tucker Carlson’s Latest Attack on Jews Is His Worst Yet,” by Micha Danzig, Algemeiner, November 26, 2025:
Tucker Carlson has said some ugly things over the years, but even by his standards, last week was a new low.
In a monologue framed as a warning — because demagogues often pretend they’re just “warning” — Carlson delivered one of the most explicit and chilling mainstream threats toward American Jews in decades.
Speaking about people like Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin, Tucker said:
Give us the money for our preferred little country, or else we’re going to denounce you … Man, those attitudes are incompatible with leadership and in fact with democracy itself. You can’t have a country of 350 million people governed by boutique goals concerns … It doesn’t work. It’s illegitimate. If you keep it up, you’re flirting with real backlash. Like a real one … Not Nick Fuentes. Like a real one. So cool it. Don’t treat people like cattle.”
“Preferred little country.”
“Boutique goals.”
“Backlash.”
“Cool it.”This was not analysis.
This was menace.And it came wrapped in projection so brazen it would be funny — if the history behind it weren’t so deadly.
Because while Carlson accuses American Jews of disloyalty, coercion, and anti-democratic behavior, he has spent years whitewashing, rationalizing, or outright promoting the most openly anti-American movements operating on US soil: the anti-Israel campus mobs, the “resistance” celebrations of Hamas and Hezbollah, and the organizations openly seeking the dismantling of the American “empire” itself.
Carlson has nothing to say about movements that literally burn American flags
Let’s start with what Carlson ignores — because the silence is the tell.
Over the past two-plus years, anti-Israel protesters across the country have:
- burned American flags on college campuses and in major US cities,
- praised terrorists who murdered American citizens on Oct. 7,
- chanted “Death to America,” “Glory to our martyrs,” and “Resistance is justified from Gaza to New York,”
- waved Hezbollah, Hamas, IRGC, and even Houthi flags,
- shut down airports, highways, and Federal buildings,
- declared their goal is to “dismantle the US settler colony” (SJP),
- and demanded that America “collapse so a new world can be born.”
Not once — not even once — has Tucker Carlson accused any of these groups of “dual loyalty,” “treason,” “boutique goals,” or “corrupting democracy.”
Not once has he warned them of a coming “backlash.”
Not once has he urged them to “cool it.”It turns out his concern for “American democracy” applies only to one group: Jews who support America’s democratic ally, Israel….
At a time when genuine anti-American extremism is flourishing — in campus encampments, online propaganda networks, and foreign-backed organizations — Tucker Carlson has chosen to threaten the Americans waving US flags.
He has chosen to smear: Americans committed to democratic values.
He has chosen to accuse of treason: Americans whose “foreign cause” is a US ally under attack by terrorists who also kill Americans. Perhaps Tucker has forgotten how Iran’s proxies have killed literally hundreds of American service members — as they are enemies of both Israel and America.
Has Carlson forgotten the 1982 attack on the Marine barracks in Beirut by Iran-backed Hezbollah, in which 283 Marines were killed?
What’s to be done about Tucker Carlson? He needs to be endlessly attacked on social media, where posters can keep providing the evidence of his insensate antisemitism, his providing a platform for the likes of Nick Fuentes, his obsessive hatred of our democratic ally, Israel. Just keep chipping away, and whenever his name comes up on social media, post the evidence of his anti-Israel animus and his antisemitism. And hope that his audience, and thus his malign influence, will shrink.

Wrong this way you only reinforce him in the eye of many.
What needs to be done is to figure out WHY he is so.
Follow the money.
The one he received or the one he did not receive. One of these is a more plausible cause.
And it will allow more eye-opening, than chipping away, as it will provide a valid reason.

Exactly, there are rumors that T.C. is on the take to Qatari petrodollars.
Could Candace Owens also be on the take to islamic petrodollars?
Hoi Polloi says
This has been big withTommy Robinson posters; there are many interview clips there. Tucker, who bolstered and interviewed Tommy, claimed not to know him in a fawning interview with Piers Morgan. Tucker bowed to Piers in all his claims about islamophobia being the only real problem; a complete reversal of what Tucker has said about the ongoing destruction of the UK due to its islamopandering.
Multiple posts discuss press regarding $15M in funding Tucker received from Qataris. Seems a likely explanation for his about face on islam.
carpediadem says
That funding Tucker got from Omeed Malik but apparently the Carlsons bought him back out.
Then he went to the Qataris.
OLD GUY says
Saudi Arabia and Qatar have billions of petrodollars to throw around and bye influence all over America. Is it possible I’d say yes they have already poured billions of dollars into our higher education system and I’m sure into campaign chests.
carpediadem says
Tucker Carlson’s loyalty needs forensic examination.
Because it’s not to America.
It;s either Iran or Germany by his behaviour.
gravenimage says
Most likely Qatar or Saudi Arabia–not Germany.
Michael says
I think being a virulent Jew-hater with a large following is a perfectly valid reason. I guess you’re saying that a lot of people won’t see it that way of course, but they’re lost to reason anyway so don’t count. Following the money is spot on!
somehistory says
The devil is in a rage because his time is limited and getting shorter by the hour. Any humans doing the “desires of their father” are getting more vocal and violent as their time is also short and getting ever shorter by the minute.

Piers Morgan answered that curry was the UK’s gain from the flood of invaders. People posted memes relating him to Esau selling his birthright (and that of his descendants) for a bowl of stew. That was a moment of dawning comprehension for me as I’d always had a difficult time as a child with the idea that Esau would trade so much for so little. How far we’ve sunk, that our self-elected mouthpieces feel so little shame.
carpediadem says
Piers Morgan is NOONE’s self-elected mouthpiece!
Hoi Polloi says
Piers has no positive qualities that I can see.

somehistory says
The Bible made a distinction between the ‘physical man and the spiritual man.’
The physical man thinks of the flesh. That was Esau. That’s also muzzies and those who seem bent on helping them eliminate everyone else.
Wellington says
The Left in our era has far more troubling aspects to it than the Right. It’s not even a close call here.
Having said this, I think it important to note that there are elements on the Right who remain entrenched in one kind or another of anti-Semitism, and which ordinarily is accompanied by exculpations of those who should not be exculpated, for instance the whole nine yards of excuses for the so-called Palestinians and their many heinous allies. People like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens are guilty here in this regard and I don’t see how anyone can’t see this who is capable of seeing clearly, sadly it seems a declining percentage of people in our time.
gravenimage says
Spot on, Wellington.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
I disagree w/ Hugh’s remedy. What needs to be done about Tucker is that he needs to be ignored. He’s lost a lot of people ever since he morphed into his current anti-Israel screed, and he’d end up like Candace as he continues in this route
Note that these days, he no longer talks about cities, China, Fentanyl, Social Media or any thing else, since most of them are being tackled by the current administration
Kelly Morgan says
But he does provide fawning exposes about Russia and their grocery stores. It’s not a coincidence that Fuentes, Owens, etc and their supporters think government control is the goal and mistakenly believe that the wrong sort are in charge of the government. Seems like Mamdani and Tucker are sharing the same thoughts.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
I actually agree w/ him on Russia: we needlessly made them our enemy since the Cold War ended. First by extending NATO eastwards, despite James Baker’s verbal commitment to Mikhail Gorbachev, but denying Moscow the right to join it. Essentially telling the Kremlin that NATO still viewed them as an adversary. This particularly stood out during the wars against Serbia
I do agree w/ most of Tucker’s views. I disagree w/ him completely on Israel and India
gravenimage says
Infidel, with respect, I don’t think that ignoring evil will often make it go away. I agree with Mr. Fitzgerald; it needs to be countered.
David Race says
Correction: The Marine Barracks Bombing occurred on October 23, 1983, which took the lives of 241 U.S. service members(220 Marines, 18 Sailors, and 3 Army Soldiers).
The second bombing killed 58 French paratroopers at their barracks just a few miles away.
Rick Gordon says
Use the OFF button for him and his sponsors.
Stupid is as – in this case – stupid says!
James Lincoln says
Until Tucker started spilling this anti-Semitic crap, I liked most of what he put out.
Now, I question his take on other topics…
࿗Infidel࿘ says
I have stopped watching him or what’s on his channel, but when I just glance at the video list, it’s no longer the things he used to discuss during his FNC days. Gone are the discussions on the state of our cities, social media censorship, the Fentanyl crisis, Chinese dominance of our economy or even UAPs. It’s all just Israel & Jews, for someone who accuses others like Shapiro or Levin of being obsessed w/ them. Incidentally, Levin is only obsessed w/ Dems, and Shapiro covered the war when it was thick in the news, but moved on to other things as they moved into the forefront. Incidentally, I disagree w/ Shapiro about things like tariffs, immigration & so on, but he’s certainly not an Israel-first commentator fit only for JNS
My favorite commentator these days is Dave Rubin, followed by Glenn Beck. At least they don’t get into the Gaza genocide propaganda like the Jack Posobiecs of the world
James Lincoln says
Yes, Infidel.
I also follow Dave Rubin, Glenn Beck.
gravenimage says
So depressing, Infidel.
LibertyORdeath says
Are there not enough cases of communist and Islamist genocidal antisemitism to cover these days? Is Tucker Carlson really a threat to Jewish people or the state of Israel? Why are we talking about reasonable critiques of the American-Israeli alliance rather than the BILLIONS of people calling for the destruction of Israel as a whole?
Israel is completely surrounded by psychopathic jihadi neighbors. I think they have bigger problems than Tucker Carlson talking about dual loyalty and Israeli funding of American political candidates. One article about it should suffice, considering the wider political landscape. Attacking patriots to the right of us is a losing strategy.
KufarDawg says
It’s interesting how corrupt mouthpieces like T.C. drone on and on about dual loyalty being a problem with Israelis but has his blinders on WRT islamic subversion of our nation’s unis, colleges, enemedia etc.
carpediadem says
What about his own loyalty? Pretty suspicious.
carpediadem says
Tucker Carlson does not have “reasonable critiques” of the American-Israel alliance or of Jews.
Yes he is a threat because the gaggle of antisemites he interviews with such gormlessly earnest worship has huge numbers of equally gormless but aggressively antisemitic followers as does Tucker. And those followers LOVE being antisemitic and enjoy bullying and attacking Jews.
Jews, by the way, who are American citizens and who do not deserve to be demonised & attacked -physically I mean – by these savage little clowns and their talkbro thug followers.
LibertyORdeath says
I haven’t seen any attacks on jews inspired by Tucker, but maybe you have?
What I have seen is thousands of jews assaulted and some killed by crazy leftists and Islamists inspired by anti-American and anti-White rhetoric.
How did we end up with MILLIONS of Muslims imported into our countries AFTER 9/11?
That would be the George W. Bush “Republicans” who were more worried about being called “islamophobic” than they were about the safety of their own citizens. Gatekeeping our movement has lead to nothing but MORE money to Muslim nations and MORE Muslim invaders in the West.
Only people like Bush and Lindsay Graham are dumb enough to want to cancel Tucker over so-called antisemitism.
If you know of something Tucker has said that is NOT a reasonable critique, then post it here. I can post THOUSANDS of videos and articles showing that the real enemies of Israel and the West are the Islamists and their communist allies. If you have anything more than hurt feelings and suppositions then let me know.
LibertyORdeath says
I hope you see my previous response. This message board doesn’t show them a lot of the time.
I also want to point out that I respect your views and opinions on the matter. This is a matter of principle and strategy, nit a personal attack.
LibertyORdeath says
“Preferred little country.”
“Boutique goals.”
“Backlash.”
“Cool it.”
If this is the best you got on Tucker, I’m not impressed.
Meanwhile, we have jihadis and leftists chanting
“Daeth to Israel”
“Death to the IDF”
“Globalize the intifada”
And on and on.
Am I missing something here?
Left Coast says
You are missing a lot . . . . but like Cucker Tarlson you might be a Pretend Christian too . . .
Cucker interviews complete loons like Fuetees and Krazy Candice and pretends to know what he is talking about.
Carlson’s interview with Cruz was another joke, Cruz tells him a Bible Truth and he goes on to attack Cruz on not knowing how many Iranians etc.
Tucker claims he read the Bible once . . . and if God is real . . .
.
Feel sorry for Cucker, I suspect he has completely lost the Plot . . . used to watch him . . . but would not waste my time today, he is a complete fool.
gravenimage says
LibertyORdeath, I don’t think that pretending that antisemitism is perfectly acceptable so long as it clothes itself in Americanism is wise–and yes, this *is* potentially very destructive. The US is Israel’s greatest ally, and the US actually has the largest Jewish population in the world–larger even than Israel.
LibertyORdeath says
Point taken, but I think we can all agree that the 2 billion genocidal Muslims and the hundreds if millions of Communists are a much greater danger to jews AND the West than Tucker Carlson or Nick Fuentes.
When cancel culture Was all the rage we said all speech is free speech. Now that we have a modicum of power many on our side have decided that WE must cancel or gatekeep so-called hate-speech. This is not the way free speech is supposed to work in the West.
I can guarantee you one thing – the West will never fall due to Tucker Carlson or Nick Fuentes ranting about Israel online. The same cannot be said about the Islamo-Communist alliance.
I’ll say it again – we are a TINY MINORITY in the world. Half of our own people (or more) are hostile to us and our way of life. We will not survive by canceling our own people. We have bigger fish to fry. Let’s try reversing the invasion and then we can discuss which speech is allowed and which is banned. I for one will always land on the side of free speech.
LibertyORdeath says
“Preferred little country.”
“Boutique goals.”

This is the least antisemitic antisemitism I’ve ever heard.
If you can find Tucker saying something like “death to Israel” ir “death to the IDF” I might be more likely to agree with you.
KufarDawg says
So what? T.C. is still mainstreaming anti-Israel calumnies while ignoring the evil actions of moslames across the ENTIRE WORLD. All because he’s on the Qatari payroll.
Michael says
Candace who? I used to think she was one of the small minority of Black Americans with a moral compass; it was nice while it lasted.
gravenimage says
I feel the same way, Michael–very sad.
Phyllis Wenderoth says
Phucker’s antisemitism had reached its boiling point and his true sentiments have come out. Unfortunately, for those agreeing with him, (Bannon, Owens, etc., etc., etc.,) have lost credibility along with him and are to blame for the split in the MAGA movement. Trump should address this problem and let everyone know where he stands on this issue.
Controse says
Those who call attention to the unusual, nay unprecedented, sway the Israel lobby, which by the way is not a registered lobby of a foreign government as required by law, has over policy, fiscal and military, of the United States federal government are not ever met with counter arguments on the merits. They are immediately spurned as antisemites. Doesn’t sound like a position of strength to me. Let’s decide, is America First or Israel First best for us long suffering, dependable, productive American tax payers? Oops. I just tainted myself.
As to the related topic of the October 7th attack and the Israeli response Tucker is infuriatingly blind to what has happened and why it happened. He believes his moral ace in the hole as he denounces Israel’s response is his mantra that devoted Christians and Jews do not kill humans, especially children, just because they are citizens controlled by your mortal enemy. You kill people only in self defense based on their individual mortal threat to you. I guess he missed the day in civics that describe what happens to human populations at war. He has not interviewed at all much less at length anyone to convey to his audience the scope of the depravity rained upon the Jews on October 7th. He has not interviewed anyone to convey background on Gaza Israeli relations as understood by independent observers up until the morning of October 7th. He has not interviewed anyone to convey the scope of HAMAS corruption since they gained political control of Gaza. Here is an example. The hundreds of miles of tunnels connecting HAMAS underground staging areas to further their goal of militarily destroying Israel were funded in large part by stealing millions upon millions donated by the West to, in various ways, improve the lives of Gaza citizens. You know, give them a hand up. There are many more topics he has not addressed that would be useful for throwing light on the diplomatically intransigent situation Israel faces. Is this convincing proof he is an antisemite? No. It is proof he is a lazy reporter.
KufarDawg says
I wouldn’t say T.C. is lazy I’d say he’s rotten and corrupted by islamic petrodollars — as many university administrators are.

Tucker Carlson, an Antisemite Out of Control
………………………………………..
I was never that impressed with Tucker Carlson, but back when he was on Fox News I considered him a solid if uninspired conservative. I hoped he would improve with experience. He has changed, all right, but it has been *anything* but an improvement.
