Right-wing American journalist Tucker Carlson and his staff were reportedly detained in Israel on Wednesday following an interview with an American official.
This is the first time I’m hearing about it honestly. Does he call it a genocide?
Why would he go there for an interview? Usually journalists go to cover what’s happening to the Palestinian people, otherwise you could just have a remote call. But then again, he is not a journalist.
Something tells me he wanted to cause some friction.
I can’t find an exact quote with the specific word genocide, but he has accused Bibi of committing war crimes. Also, an Israeli advocacy group named him "Antisemite of the Year” for his anti-Zionist stances.
I saw he was recently interviewing Palestinian-Christian pastors around Israel and neighboring countries. Maybe he was still over there as part of that trip.
I’d wager that he’s just an opportunist and wants to make his “brand” friendly to neo Nazis while not alienating the “pro Israeli fascism” segment of the population that other media personalities cater to.
He plays the foil to the right-wing “Israel can do no wrong” crowd but likely isn’t actually that critical of the Israeli government like someone to the left of Democrats would be.
The article said he is critical of Israel.

Imagine Tucker Carlson and Ms. Rachel being lumped together.
/insert “We are not the same” meme
He promotes the white replacement theory which is all about the Jews bringing in immigrants to replace the white race. aka White Genocide
So he believes a genocide is being done by Jews. Pretty sure he doesn’t give a fuck about Palestinians tho.
And yeah he wanted to cause friction, he’s an Anti-Semite.
That’s some old school hate he’s clinging to. His party moved on to Muslims then brown and trans since then.
It’s the political version of gen X still saying things are sick and rad.
Ps I’m trying to bring back rad.
