ALWAGHT- American conservative commentator Tucker Carlson slammed US military aid to Israel, arguing that Donald Trump has surrendered to Benjamin Netanyahu’s influence — and that Israel, through its genocidal actions, has lost all moral legitimacy and cannot be called a democracy.
American conservative commentator Tucker Carlson has sharply criticized US military aid to Israel, arguing that the Israeli regime has "lost its moral ground" due to high civilian casualties in Gaza and other recent wars. In an interview with Israel's Channel 13, Carlson insisted that the United States should not be funding Israel's military, stating, "There is no reason for the United States to give money to Israel, especially to its military." He rejected self-defense justifications, arguing that even if Hamas commits wrongful acts, that does not justify Israel—or the US—doing the same, and that killing innocent people is never permissible.
Carlson accused US President Donald Trump of surrendering to the influence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, allowing a country of 9 million people to drag the United States into a war that harms American interests. He also asserted that Israel is "by no means" a democracy, pointing to millions of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza who lack the right to vote. Regarding his previous characterization of Israeli attacks as "genocide," Carlson clarified that regardless of terminology—whether genocide, ethnic cleansing, crime, or brutality—the killing of thousands of innocent children in Gaza is simply wrong.
The summary notes that Israel stands accused of genocide at the International Criminal Court (ICC), with arrest warrants issued for Netanyahu and former war minister Yoav Gallant for crimes against humanity and genocide in Gaza. UN agencies have described deliberate attacks on civilian populations, including the use of man-made famine and starvation as tools of genocide. The regime continues to block food and medicine from entering Gaza and has used violence against international humanitarian convoys attempting to break the blockade.
