Beyond Politics: The Danger of Tucker Carlson and Right-Wing Fringe Antisemitism
There’s a dangerous game being played on the Right these days over Israel. Why that’s happening is a somewhat nebulous proposition but it’s likely a combination of attention seeking, social media clicks, streaming video views, foreign influence and of course - money. Tucker Carlson, Candice Owens, Nick Fuentes and other voices on the far right are often peddling a veiled antisemitism that is gaining some measure of traction with audiences, particularly young people.
I won’t spend time discussing their individual comments but aim here to address the larger danger of influencers not understanding the critical importance of Israel and therefore the presence of Jews and Christians in the Holy Land.
