Tucker Carlson’s Vile Crusade: Smearing Israel for Clicks and Clout

Tucker Carlson would do anything and say anything to garner attention for the purpose of attaining viewership

In a world already teetering on the edge of division, Tucker Carlson’s podcast today plunged headfirst into the abyss, spewing venom under the guise of commentary. His latest tirade, a baseless attack on Israel and its Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, isn’t just misguided—it’s a deliberate, dangerous ploy to inflame his audience with anti-Semitic undertones. Listening to his smug voice twist facts into a warped narrative, I was shocked, though not surprised, by the depths to which he’ll sink for relevance.

Tucker Carlson’s Vile Crusade: Smearing Israel for Clicks and Clout

Carlson’s grievance du jour? Netanyahu’s three visits to the White House since Donald Trump took office, which he deems “odd” and a sign of Trump’s lack of impartiality. On its face, it’s a point that might warrant discussion—if the circumstances weren’t so blatantly distorted by Carlson’s selective outrage. Let’s unpack the reality he conveniently ignores.

First, Netanyahu’s initial visit was a standard diplomatic gesture, akin to other world leaders paying respects to a new U.S. president. Israel, a nation reliant on U.S. military aid, knows its survival depends on this alliance. Netanyahu “bending the knee,” as Carlson might sneer, is pragmatic gratitude, not subservience. He did the same for Biden, as any leader would.

Second, Netanyahu’s visit for negotiations to end the war with Hamas, sparked by the horrific October 7, 2023, attacks, was a necessity. Israel, locked in conflict and unable to negotiate directly with Qatar—a nation that doesn’t recognize it—relies on the U.S. as a mediator. The Abraham Accords, a landmark peace effort, further justified his presence.

Third, and most critically, Israel’s recent war with Iran—a global threat with nuclear ambitions—demanded U.S. coordination. The joint U.S.-Israel offensive, the largest conventional military operation since World War II, targeted Iran’s leadership, missile capabilities, and uranium enrichment. These visits weren’t favors; they were strategic imperatives.

Carlson, who cloaks himself in libertarian rhetoric, claims to champion freedom and skepticism of power. Yet his extreme isolationism betrays a dangerous ignorance. Israel isn’t just an ally; it’s a partner in innovation, responsible for technologies like the Patriot Missile system that saved countless American lives. To paint Netanyahu’s visits as evidence of undue influence is to scapegoat Israel—and by extension, the Jewish people—for geopolitical realities Carlson either doesn’t understand or willfully misrepresents. His brand of libertarianism isn’t principled; it’s a reckless extremism that sacrifices reason for sensationalism.

The gall of Carlson to single out Israel, a nation under existential threat, reveals his true motives. This isn’t about impartiality or policy critique; it’s about exploiting a loyal ally to stoke division and pad his viewership. With millions hanging on his every word, his influence is a force that demands scrutiny. FOX News wisely cut ties with this demagogue, recognizing his toxicity. Now, it’s time for his audience to follow suit.

As Carlson’s voice faded from my speakers, I felt a chill—not just for the hatred he peddles, but for the millions who amplify it. His attacks on Israel and the Jewish people aren’t just unfair; they’re a calculated bid for relevance at the expense of truth. We cannot let this anti-Semitic charlatan shape the discourse unchecked. Turn him off, tune him out, and let his dangerous rhetoric fade into the obscurity it deserves. The stakes are too high to do otherwise.
