“Israel behandler arabere som dyr og undermennesker”
Forleden blev Tucker Carlson interviewet af kanalchefen Udi Segal på israels kommercielle TV Channel 13 (også kendt som Reshet 13 eller Hadashot 13) og det vakte berettiget opsigt i Israel. Det var modigt gjort af dem, og det minder en om, at visse israelske medier som f.eks. oppositionsavisen Haaretz er bedre og mindre bange for at være “kontroversielle,” end de fleste amerikanske eller europæiske. Et kort referat at interviewet her:
Carlson sharply criticized Israeli policy, particularly in Gaza. He accused Israel of having “lost its morality,” “murdered thousands of children in Gaza,” and described its actions there as “disgusting and immoral.” He pushed back against Segal’s description of Iran as a “terror regime,” saying Israelis should “pause” before using such language given events in Gaza.
He called for the U.S. to stop all aid to Israel, claimed Israel is “not a democracy” (in some reporting), accused Netanyahu of dragging the U.S. into conflict with Iran, and said Trump had folded to pressure.
The interview was heated at times, with Carlson challenging the anchor directly. It drew significant attention in Israel and internationally, sparking backlash from pro-Israel voices, defenses from critics of Israeli policy, and a strong response from the White House (which called Carlson a “low-IQ person” who spreads “fake news”)
The interview was notable because Carlson—a prominent critic of aspects of U.S. foreign policy and Israeli actions—appeared directly on Israeli television and delivered strong criticisms to a domestic audience (with Hebrew subtitles in some broadcasts).
