It turns out that Tucker Carlson just isn’t very bright. He’s fluent, but dim, my uncle says. It also turns out that fluent and dim (and tons of money) are exactly what you need to thrive in the current media landscape.

This is horrific.

Tucker Carlson claimed Chabad is behind the 2026 Iran war because they want to destroy the Al Aqsa Mosque and built the Third Temple in its place. He based this on photos of some IDF soldiers wearing patches depicting a temple first made in 2024 by an organization that is unaffiliated with Chabad.

Appreciate all 6 discussants, but most identify with R' Jill Jacobs: "The word 'Zionism' has largely ceased to be useful ... It prevents us from having an actual conversation about the state of Israel, which is not an idea ...; it’s a country" that, "like any other state has to follow int'l law".

Brian McGinnis should know no one’s asking him to do a damn thing for Israel. Imagine serving in the US military and running for US Congress only to blame some small far off country for the US’s foreign policy decisions. Imagine thinking he’s going to be an effective senator!

As someone who has long been quite critical of Israel, it’s getting really tiring hearing people say obscenely antisemitic shit and responding to outrage with “criticism of Israel is ok.” Like how about prove you’re capable of even a single complex thought before saying anything about anything?

IDF source speaking to Walla News says warhead of missile that hit Beit Shemesh bomb shelter carried almost 500 kilograms of explosives.

These units have indeed been directly involved in killing Iranian protesters in January and before.

The IDF Persian account has confirmed a strike today on the IRGC Thar-Allah Headquarters and the Islamic Republic's Police Headquarters, along with other targets in Tehran.

These (very ignorant, very loud) self-styled anti-imperialists are actually just embarrassingly American.

Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was killed in his home yesterday in an airstrike. It would seem in the event of a leadership vacuum, former officials that would fill such roles are also on targeting lists.

Major General Abdul Rahim Mousavi, Chief of Staff of the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces killed.

You thought it was bad for American Jews for Israel-Palestine to divide Democrats? Just you wait.

I’ve seen suggestions of Israel having infiltrated the top echelons of the Iranian security services. I have no inside info at all, but I have to imagine Netanyahu wouldn’t embark on a reckless operation without some concrete assurances as to what comes next.

JD Vance 2028: bad positions, worse analysis.

The infrastructure for the exact type of antisemitism we will see has been laid by Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens and Brianna Joy Gray and Nick Fuentes for months now.

Tucker Carlson’s overarching narrative: that Israel is the hidden force behind US foreign policy decisions and that that country is also chiefly responsible for the ongoing sexual violation of American children is very classically antisemitic. As are all of its implications.
