Israel has faced many difficult decisions over the past two and a half years of war; whether to allow Tucker Carlson into Israel was not one anyone expected. In the end, the government is allowing him to visit. Yes, seriously. Carlson is coming to the country of the Jesus-killing “hummus eaters.”
This comes a week after his anti-Israel trip to Jordan.
During his interview with the Anglican archbishop of Jerusalem in Jordan last week, Carlson sidestepped the archbishop’s point about Israel’s protections for Christian rights to focus instead on sporadic flashpoints. After lavishing praise on Jordan’s treatment of Christians, he pivoted to a familiar riff:
“How are Christians in the Holy Land doing? Are they thriving or are they suffering? And the truth has become pretty obvious over the past couple of years, which is, in Israel, they are not thriving.”
