In the interview with Clayton Morris on his show (titled "Israel’s Sinister Agenda to Use the U.S. Military to Defy Trump’s Plan for Peace"), Tucker Carlson criticized Benjamin Netanyahu's repeated references to "Amalek" (a biblical enemy of the Israelites) in the context of Israel's conflicts with groups like Hamas and Iran. Carlson interpreted this as Netanyahu calling for the literal extermination of an entire bloodline or people, which he described as genocidal rhetoric.
Here's the key excerpt:
"For a head of state to say out loud, 'Our job here is to kill everybody, including their children, because the bloodline itself must be extinguished'... You know, I'm very opposed to Hitler, okay? Just saying. I don't think Hitler ever said anything like that. But I'm serious—and he killed a ton of people, including a ton of Jews, of course—but I don't think was Hitler ever on the record saying we need to exterminate every single member of a specific bloodline? Netanyahu just said that last week, and he's said it many other times. This is bonkers."
Carlson argued that Netanyahu's language (in his view) went further than what Hitler publicly stated on record about extermination tied to bloodlines. This comparison has drawn heavy criticism for downplaying Hitler's rhetoric and actions.
