Tucker Carlson:
Incomprehensible support for state "that blows up churches and kills Christians"
Published 10 April 2024 at 09:44
FOREIGN. The very popular conservative opinion leader Tucker Carlson is the latest in a line of right-wing figures in the US to openly criticize Israel.
In an interview with a Christian pastor from Bethlehem, Tucker Carlson questions both the US government's and American Christians' support for Israel.
- If you wake up in the morning and decide that your Christian faith requires you to support a foreign government that blows up churches and kills Christians, then I think you've lost the thread, says Carlson among other things.
He notes that "self-proclaimed Christians" send money to Israel that goes to "repress Christians" in the Middle East.
The pastor explains that the money that the Christians donate both goes to Israel's military and to settlers. He says he has tried in vain to get evangelical Christian leaders in the United States to understand that their contributions go to persecute fellow believers.
Furthermore, the pastor tells about how it happened when Israel bombed an ancient Christian church earlier during the war and 18 Christians, including several children, who sought shelter in the building were killed. However, this event was blacked out in the Christian media, notes the pastor.
- We thought the church was a safe place, he says.
In the interview, it is also discussed that evangelical Christianity is not even recognized as a permitted religion in Israel and that it is punishable for Christians to carry out missions in the country.
Spitting on Christians 'a Jewish tradition'
In East Jerusalem, Christians are constantly harassed by Orthodox Jews, who attack churches, incite Christians and spit on them as they pass them in the streets. An Israeli settler declared in early October last year, just before the war broke out, that it is a "Jewish custom" to spit on Christians. Israel's Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who is responsible for, among other things, the police and prison authorities, stated in the same vein that spitting on Christians is fully legal in the country. Even the minister has previously said that this behavior is "an ancient Jewish tradition".
- Those who carry out the attacks are never held accountable, says the pastor in the interview with Tucker Carlson.
Unconditional support for Israel has long been practically mandatory for conservatives in the United States. But recently, more and more people have begun to question the arrangement.
Candace Owens, another conservative profile that is very popular, was recently forced to leave the Daily Wire media network after questioning Israel's warfare and clashing with a Zionist rabbi:
