Conservative influencer Tucker Carlson has escalated his attack on Israel on his podcast. He presented the story of Kamel Masalit, the father of a Palestinian-American killed in Judea and Samaria. The father described how his son was brutally murdered while trying to reach an agricultural plot in Area A. Carlson did not stop at the personal story but quickly leveraged it into a sharp political attack. He described settler actions as 'pogroms' carried out with American weapons, and compared the current administration's silence to the historical cover-up of the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty. Additionally, Carlson claimed a conspiracy of silence, alleging that even Christian media is censored, presenting this as a surrender of Christian-American elements to external political pressure. The article notes that Carlson wove a broader conspiracy theory around the events, echoing classic motifs of Jewish control over the government and media.
