The United States, Israel, and Christian Nationalism

Neo-antisemite and Christian Nationalist, Tucker Carlson (Mishpacha)

Let me once again restate the obvious. There are few commentators with the brilliance, education, and eloquence to analyze current events than is the University of Chicago and Yale educated Jonathan Rosenblum. That he writes for Mishpacha – a magazine not known for placing great value on secular education - does nothing to diminish his erudition. His work would earn approval from readers of far more scholarly publications. Anyone who believes a serious college education is a waste of time is, quite simply, a grobbeh am ha’aretz (look it up). But I digress.

Jonathan rarely disappoints. He does the research, and as a result, refuting him without resorting to tired partisan tropes is nearly impossible. Facts are facts, and when he makes a claim, he backs it up. He does so again in his latest column, in which he systematically dismantles several common lies about Israel. Lies routinely promoted by antisemites and most recently amplified by neo-antisemite Tucker Carlson.

What makes Carlson’s falsehoods especially dangerous is that he is a hugely popular podcaster with millions of followers. He platforms fringe antisemites as so-called ‘experts’, lending legitimacy to claims that are both demonstrably false and deeply malignant. As a result, these lies are gaining unprecedented traction. And they demand clear, unassailable refutation that exposes both their falsity and their antisemitic roots...
