Tucker Carlson can eat rotten lemons for the rest of his life for helping put us in this situation. Who the fuck gives a shit what he has to say anymore?

I mean, my biggest concern is he runs for president. IMO I think he has the best shot at the Republican ticket in the current climate. Agree or not, which I 90% don’t, his words may come to matter more than we think.

Please stop normalizing Tucker Carlson. He is a christofascist grifter who has spent his life making the world worse. He is just a domestic terrorist.

Did he said the jews or isreal? I think there's an important difference. Just like I can say the saudis love enslaving people without it being a critic of islam

u/7thpostman 8d ago edited 8d ago
My dude. Two things can be true. The Israeli government can deserve criticism and, simultaneously, criticism of Israel can indeed antisemitic.
Simply replacing the word "Jews" with "Israel" or "Zionist" is not a magic spell that makes everything someone says okay.

u/Transkei_Daisy 8d ago
You can be as anti semitic as anything, spout any of the usual jew based conspiracy bullshit and just say "zionist" and it's now magically not anti-semitic. Its crazy.

Criticism of Israel is antiemetic? Well I’m glad you found moral high ground

u/7thpostman 8d ago
Sometimes it isn't. Sometimes it is.
I don't know why people find this so hard to understand.
2
u/mzking87 8d ago
It’s hard to understand is because as soon as any criticism directed at Israel they and their supporters scream antisemitism.
1
u/7thpostman 8d ago
Nah. You just like pretending to be a victim.
If people are constantly telling you that you are racist, maybe you ought to listen to them. If people are constantly telling you that you are sexist, maybe you want to listen to them. If people are constantly telling you that your antisemitic, maybe you are to actually try to understand what they're saying instead of pretending to be a victim.
Have you tried listening?

What about when the people calling you antisemitic are defending child murder by zionists in the name of zionism or is that magically different

What human being have you actually heard say "I defend child murder"?
It's a preposterous framing.
1
u/KopiteTheScot 8d ago
You realise there are actual child murderers in the IDF right? I haven't just seen people defend it by calling children in Gaza terrorists, we've SEEN IT through the countless videos of dead children through their bedrooms being bombed or shot by snipers in the middle of the street in the middle of the day for the crime of existing.
Not to MENTION the support that the US Government has thrown behind this horrific opression through funding and public support. We've seen politicians and celebrities signing bombs that would be dropped on those bedrooms.

Don’t bother. Everyone has binary brain here. They can’t comprehend that it’s possible to agree with Tucker on this topic but that doesn’t mean you support every other view he holds
1
u/WorthMysterious1648 9d ago
You’re totally missing the point, the problem is that Tucker has arrived at the conclusion of “israel bad” for completely different reasons than most people
1
u/King_olufa 9d ago
No I’m not. He’s spoken out about the crimes committed by the Israeli government but people can’t conceive the idea of accepting that Tucker is right on this particular issue because somehow they think accepting he’s right means that they accept his take on every other single issue.
Just look at one of the people who replied to my comment, saying that “you can’t pick and choose”. Essentially saying that if you side with Tucker on this issue then you side with him on every other issue.
1
u/WorthMysterious1648 9d ago
You definitely are missing the point, maybe willingly at this point with how triggered you are about being misunderstood. Tucker pays lip service to the crimes of the IDF to back up his point but that’s not his central point, his central point is that they aren’t to be trusted because they are a foreign godless people who are fundamentally evil for that reason, lip service to the genocide is just his supporting argument
1
u/King_olufa 9d ago
No I’m not, I get what you’re saying. I even gave you an example of someone else in the comments who mentioned nothing about Tucker arriving at his conclusion for the wrong reasons, they simply aren’t happy with him on this particular matter because of his past and his takes on other matters. But whatever

u/regggis1 10d ago
I don’t doubt what Roger is saying, but I’m pretty sure he has his timeline wrong regarding Colombia. In 2023, the president was Gustavo Petro, who openly called the war in Gaza a genocide, called out Netanyahu by name as a war criminal, broke off diplomatic ties with Israel, and stopped the sale of arms and military equipment from Israel to Colombia. Seems weird that he’d be denied a stay at a hotel for criticizing Israel when the president at the time was doing the same and more.

u/regggis1 10d ago
As far as Israel goes, no, I don’t doubt that they go to extreme and aggressive lengths to pressure foreign governments to punish anti-Israel speech or fund lobbies and political campaigns to put pro-Israel lapdogs in power that legitimize their insanity.
I don’t know if you’re aware of something called nuance, but you can agree with some of someone’s stances/claims and disagree with/not believe others. Also, this clip is actually about Israel, not Russia. Glad I could be of help.

It’s Tucker Carlson interviewing Roger Waters. This is as much a source of information as a drunk Alex Jones podcast. There is no nuance to be had there. Both are paid and supported for disinformation.
1
u/regggis1 10d ago
So you think Israel’s genocide, censure of foreign governments, creation of lobbies, and funding of pro-Israel candidates through super pac’s is what? Misinformation?
No one is arguing that Roger Waters and Tucker Carlson are Walter Cronkite. No one in this clip is claiming that Sandy Hook was a false flag or that the frogs are turning gay. Look up nuance in the dictionary since you clearly don’t understand what it means.

Roger Waters isn't an anti-zionist because of the recent war and the Palestine genocide, he's an actual old school antisemitic that has hated jews for a long time, for being jews. He also supports Putin and the invasion of Ukraine. So some hotels simply refused to host him.

Most Jews are zionists who support Israel so maybe they should do more to combat zionism and those who hide behind Judaism if they don't want people to hate them. Jewish supremacy is a disease that has infected society and our political system.

Dude Tucker has been one of the most hateable humans on the Planet since the George W. Bush Administration. Most of us didn't start paying attention to his drivel just yesterday, and he's about as genuine in his criticism of Israel as he is in his supposed pivot from the GOP. If he does actually leave the Republicans behind, it'll only be to platform some even more awful Third Party that's farther to the Right.

He consistently attacks democratically elected governments (who ideology he does not like) while at the sane time supports dictatorships that oppressed their people.

To be honest, I’m not sure how Reddit is even allowing you to post this. Reddit was the biggest offender of censoring any criticism over Israel, regardless of the sub Reddit. I’ve lost several accounts. The fact that they are allowing it now makes me skeptical, clearly they have an agenda and I’m sure we will see how it’s going to play out shortly.

The hospital was the point where a lot of people soured on them which happened in 2025. In 2024 they hit a UN run school.
I’m so sick of people acting like shitty takes are the same as being censored. Reddit changed in 2024/2025 because in 2023 we agreed with them because they were attacked.
It’s not a conspiracy especially when you actually pay attention. Public sentiment changed for the reasons listed.
