"That’s why it’s a bit baffling to me that he would suggest he’s being deplatformed when someone wonders where his loyalties lie. If he can pose questions about our ally’s motives, we should be able to question his."
"Just when it appears that the Republican Party has become unbeatable after the re-election of Donald Trump, and the attainment of majorities in the House and Senate, we’re seeing the beginnings of a fracture that could shatter the GOP’s hopes for the midterms and the 2028 campaign for president. Tucker Carlson, once a highly rated conservate commentator with his Tucker Carlson Tonight on Fox News, from 2016 to 2023, was canceled after Fox was sued by Dominion Voting Systems because of alleged defamation statements Carlson made on his show. Fox ultimately settled with Dominion for $787.5 million. Since leaving Fox, Carlson has hosted a very popular podcast, The Tucker Carlson Show.
"During the past few years, I’ve been an avid fan of his show, just as I was when he was on Fox. Yet for several months lately, he seems to have made a U-turn in his support of our country’s strongest ally in the Middle East. Although he contends to be a supporter of Israel, he refers to it as a “tiny, inherently insignificant country.” He tells his viewers that the U.S. spends too much money in a foreign country that, geopolitically, is not at all important to our nation. He goes on to say that China and India combined represent more than a third of the world’s population, and our relationship with them has gotten worse because of our relationship with Israel.
"While Tucker was smugly dismissing Israel’s importance because, according to him, the Israelis have no natural resources, Benjamin Netanyahu was announcing the approval of the largest export deal of liquefied natural gas in the country’s history with Egypt, valued at about $35 billion. That deal occurred shortly after Israel made a deal to sell its Arrow 3 missile defense system to Germany for $6.5 billion. One wonders how Tucker can possibly conclude that Israel is insignificant." . . .
