History Sets The Record
Netanyahu Unleashes on Tucker Carlson: “He Has No Clue About History!”
Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu strongly criticizes Tucker Carlson's comments questioning Jewish ties to Israel, calling him clueless about history while defending Israel's role in the West.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has sharply criticized former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, accusing the conservative commentator of siding with America's enemies and displaying a profound lack of historical knowledge. The rebuke comes after Carlson publicly questioned the historical and ancestral ties of modern-day Jews to biblical Israel.
In a conversation with filmmaker and author Dinesh D’Souza, Netanyahu directly addressed Carlson's remarks, dismissing his claims as ahistorical.
"He has no idea, not just about Jewish history, but of history," Netanyahu stated. "The Jews dispersed from this land to Europe, to the Middle East, to other places, but we never forgot this land. We always said, 'Next year in Jerusalem.'"
Netanyahu went on to assert that the Jewish connection to the land of Israel is deeply rooted and predates the modern presence of Palestinians. He highlighted the transformation of ancient Israel into a "juggernaut of technology and development" and a "democratic society" in the face of persistent existential threats.
The prime minister did not mince words when questioning Carlson's motivations. "Who is Tucker Carlson defending?" Netanyahu asked, referencing those who chant "Death to America." He linked the rhetoric against Israel to a broader threat to Western civilization, calling Israel "the Silicon Valley of the Middle East" and a bulwark against forces seeking to "destroy everything that America stands for."
Netanyahu also praised President Donald Trump, calling him "the greatest friend Israel ever had." He argued that both leaders understand that Iran poses a shared threat to both countries.
"I’m proud that Israel is the frontline of this battle of civilization against barbarism, which threatens all free societies," he concluded.
The Prime Minister's comments underscore a growing divide between some conservative voices in the U.S. and traditional pro-Israel allies, as figures like Carlson push narratives that challenge long-held historical and political alignments.
