Tucker Carlson recently posed a question to his audience: could the Iran war be part of a religious plan to destroy Al-Aqsa and rebuild the Third Temple?
It’s a familiar tactic: float a conspiratorial narrative while framing it as an innocent question.
The clip he points to features Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi, a figure known mainly for online lectures. He is not an Israeli official, not an IDF spokesperson, and not a policymaker. His views have been widely criticized across the Jewish world, including by prominent rabbis.
Using a fringe voice like this to imply Israeli policy is deeply misleading. And dressing that implication up as a “question” doesn’t make the claim more credible or any less dangerous.
