Tucker Carlson slams pro-Israel Christians

Right-wing pundit Tucker Carlson came under fire Tuesday, after he took aim at Christian supporters of the State of Israel during an interview with an anti-Israel pastor.

Carlson, who was fired from Fox News last year and now hosts “Tucker Carlson Uncensored” on Twitter/X, interviewed Munther Isaac, a Lutheran pastor in Bethlehem and long-time Israel critic who has accused Israel of “genocide” and who recently signed onto a letter demanding President Joe Biden force Israel into a permanent ceasefire with Hamas.

In his Easter sermon last month, Isaac declared the Christian cross to be “an important Palestinian symbol.”
In the interview, which was published Tuesday, Isaac criticized American Christian Zionists, claiming their financial support for Israel was used in part to displace Palestinian Christians.
“A lot of the money that comes from churches…goes not just to the Israeli military but to the building of settlements. Many of these settlements are built on land confiscated from Palestinians, and in many cases, from Palestinian Christian families,” Munther claimed.

'Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens don’t represent American Christians when it comes to Israel’

Historian Victor Davis Hanson, a frequent guest of Tucker Carlson, pushes back on the pundit’s recent critiques of Israel and pro-Israel Christians.
Victor Davis Hanson, a historian and professor emeritus of California State University, Fresno, pushed back on criticism of Israel on the American Right, adding that recent comments by right-wing pundits like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens do not represent the conservative movement or the American Religious Right.

Hanson, who has frequently appeared as a guest on Carlson’s now-cancelled Fox News show, “Tucker Carlson Tonight”, and his current, independently-produced “Tucker Carlson Uncensored,” spoke with Megyn Kelly on Wednesday regarding the rise in anti-Israel rhetoric on the American Right.

Warning to Tucker Carlson: Be careful what you buy in the Middle East​


The well-known adage, “Let the Buyer Beware,” is particularly relevant in the Middle East where very cagey and skilled merchants are known for their prowess in selling things which they often claim to be authentic but which, regrettably, can end up being worthless.

Such is the case with a recent interview, conducted by the popular and beloved TV personality, Tucker Carlson who had the misfortune of hearing a very propagandized version of what has happened to the Christian community in Bethlehem, an area, which until 1995 was under Israeli control, but which is now governed by the Palestinian National Authority.

It was in this discussion, with a Palestinian pastor, who lamented the disastrous impact the war has had on the minuscule Christian population, which drew Carlson’s response, stating, “When there’s a war abroad that the United States is funding, it is Christians who tend to die disproportionately.”

But rather than cast the blame for dwindling numbers of Christians in the Middle East, at the feet of Palestinian extremist Muslims, who have systematically caused them to flee, due to heavy persecution, the Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac, pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Christian Church in Bethlehem, instead, chose to attribute their losses to “a very harsh Israeli military occupation which is difficult to bear.”
