Wonderfully and thoughtfully stated, Dave, thank you. As for Tucker Carlson, his desperation for attention after losing his job is profound; it's just unfortunate the only way he can seem to thrust himself back to any semblance of relevance is by being a sanctimonious dilettante at the expense of Israel, the Jewish people, and the Christians who not only support the nation's right to exist, but also believe in God's promise to the Jewish people vis-a-vis their homeland.
Great post. Re: Carlson, I don't think he's truly an antisemite but rather unprincipled political operative using this issue to attack Trump and the mainstream GOP pols and remain relevant in the process. There's no love lost between him and Trump, as became apparent during the Iranian crisis. And the Qatari money probably plays a role.
Carlson saw how well the communists (= DSA) used "anti-Zionism" as a weapon against "moderate" Democrats. Of course, it doesn't require a genius IQ to see that a tiny Jewish homeland is far from the most critical issue facing humankind, but as Dr. Goebbels demonstrated, a constant repetition of a big lie works. And our mainstream media for years subordinated truth to liberal ideology, so now many people would believe any conspiracy theory (after all, so many "conspiracy theories" over the last eight years turned out to be true).
Both major parties received a rude wake-up call this month. We are increasingly looking like a Weimar Republic circa 1930, with the center being squeezed between fascists and communists. Their center didn't hold, leaving the radicals fight it out. Will our center hold?
I'm waiting for a conversion ceremony for the wife at the Nationwide revival and Erica will be drawn up to heaven on a beam of light and the revival can proclaim her the new virgin bride and then Usha will be crucified for her sinful faith of Hinduism which oddly enough is more close to trinitarianism than trinitarianism is to monotheism, nor is trinitarianism abrahamic, but once the demonic entity is expelled via exorcism who will be the next version of katarlson to manifest itself each iteration is a variation on the previous derivation, would have liked to have been around on the four vodkas for breakfast interlude for getting how many came after and if only we could see the scars that he is still afflicted with from the demonic attack
Best part about being Jewish is learning about the afflictions of the Cross worshipers such as demonic attacks and all the disagreement disunity and hostility between the different sects of the crossword worshipers, specific vehements for the Vatican Jesuit entities who are further divided between the normies and the pious and then there's the opus such as Bannon who's announcing he's going to be arrested, the most famous Opus arrested was Robert Hansen who openly went to church proclaimed his affiliation to the Vatican and opus all while spying for decades
Donald and Bill Barr are also Opus
Seven mountain mandate and Opus have joined together at turning point for a new crusading America represented by the trinitarian demonic entity of Nicandioqatarlson 🐖💨

Ben Shapiro is the only man on the scene telling truth besides a few others
I can define it, or try to: many people are upset with the decline of the West, largely orchestrated by the Left (e.g., feminism, race ideology, trans ideology) and globalists pushing mass immigration, but it's also the result of free trade and secularism. And they have good reason to be upset; these are disastrous developments, ruining a great civilization. The West is committing suicide, and its future is in peril. So they wish to blame someone.
Throughout history, which small group has been scapegoated the most, perhaps due to their superior intelligence and proximity? Jews, of course. This is nothing new. Scapegoating is a natural psycho-social mechanism that happens on an unconscious level; see the work of René Girard on this topic. But saying that it is natural does not make it right; it is unethical and leads to religious violence. Leftism is a kind of religion, but one can argue that Rightism is also.
Of course, not all conservatives go along with this scapegoating; many are pro-Israel, as I am. Prof Victor Davis Hanson, to his credit, has responded to Tucker Carlson's anti-Jewishness, debunking it. I became aware of the problem watching a show on YouTube called Fleccas Talks, which is critical of mass immigration and crime, is pro-MAGA, and critical of the Left (so far, I agreed), but inexplicably and without any evidence, it blames it on a fictional Jewish worldwide conspiracy that they allege is controlling even President Trump! They call this being "America First" as though being pro-Israel is mutually exclusive to American patriotism. One can be both MAGA and pro-Israel, since, as Hanson points out, they are a key ally. I would venture he knows far more about Israel than Tucker Carlson, who seems to believe some rather questionable propaganda.
So now, with Leftists being useful idiots for Islamic terrorism (the red-green alliance) and Tucker Carlson giving credibility to Nick Fuentes and influencing many young conservatives towards neo-Nazi antisemitism, it's really distressing to see the phrase "never again" forgotten by people who should really know better. If anyone doubts that this is dangerous, look at the antisemitism that contributed to the Shoah, the Holocaust. It started like this, with people scapegoating Jews for the problems.
It's awful that NYC just voted for an antisemitic mayor. What will happen to the 1.3 million Jews there? It's sad to see Carlson, a person whose words I have listened to in the past, go to the dark side like this. Iran continues to pose an existential threat to Israel, which needs the USA as a military ally to deter annihilation. Fortunately, the Israelis themselves are very resourceful and able to defend themselves, with or without the USA, we hope. A really well-written Substack column that addresses these issues is The Future of Jewish by Joshua Hoffman. He gives you a lot to think about.
If you want to understand it from a Christian theological perspective, it is the abandonment of the true meaning of the Bible, which is in agreement with Zionism, and the putting of something called supersessionism or replacement theology in its stead. This essentially erases Judaism and Israel, which is theologically and morally wrong.
I really think that a lot of conservative antisemitism stems from an older form: Christian antisemitism, which is one of the three major forms of it in the West; the other two are race-based (Nazi Aryanism) and more recently anti-Zionism. The latter is adopted by many Muslims and Leftists, though for different reasons: for Muslims, it is also supersessionism and, on a psychological level, a deep insecurity and fear of being inferior, and for Leftists, it is scapegoating using neo-Marxist ideas like anti-colonialism, which they incorrectly superimpose on the Middle East.
Remember that time in 2006 when your pope traveled to Constantinople to pray in a church that was supposed to be UNESCO site but became a mosque and prayed in the direction of Mecca and appointed erdogan the GateKeeper to release the migrants upon Europe and Mama Merkel spread Germany's knees with Glee and proclaimed all migrants welcome diversify us...
As a Jew I can't help but noticing the crutch that you wield endlessly of blaming the Jew for your Church's own predilection for stabbing its own in the back which any Jew knows is normalized Christianity ever since you're failed Messiah didn't reappear the spite venom and perpetual derangements have manifested themselves irrationally violently hatefully perpetually and anti-civilizationally.
Despite gentile guile, Israel's doing fine all the while despite arms and bargos in 48 prohibiting arms sales to the Jewish state but Britain trained and armed the Arab states, more proof that the eternal covenant between the god of Abraham Isaac and Jacob and his chosen people is forever unbroken. 🕊️🇮🇱🕊️
My comment is against scapegoating Jews. I am thus mystified by your seemingly irrational hatred of Christians and deliberate misrepresentation of what I said. Are you referring to me specifically or some mythical demonic idea of Christianity in your mind when you talk about "blaming the Jew" (for the record, I am against that)?
Nor do I think the Pope is correct to endorse mass migration to the West. I am not even a Catholic. I am a non-denominational Protestant. Why assume that all Christians are under one banner? There are roughly sixty thousand denominations, and they don't all share the same beliefs, just as not all Jews do.
You then refer to a "failed Messiah" -- which is hateful nonsense since Christianity has radically transformed the world for the better. Jesus Christ has already "overcome the world" (Jn 16:33). His teaching -- which is at heart a Jewish teaching since, of course, He was a Jew -- has radically transformed the world. He spread Jewish ideas and faith worldwide.
I grant that Christian historical persecution of Jews by the Inquisition and others was very wrong, but since 1948, many notable Christians have worked to reverse that. There are groups like the Fellowship of Jews and Christians. There are millions of Christian supporters of Israel, and their support has been necessary, whether or not you acknowledge it.
Jews and Christians are united in a common cause against Islamists. Christians are persecuted and martyred worldwide by Islamic jihad and Communists, and many Jews have risen to their defense. Likewise, Christians have defended Jews from Islamists. Most sensible Jews and Christians agree that this common cause is a good thing, given the state of world politics these days.
It is actually the loss of Christianity in the West that poses a threat to Jews and Israel now, because it allows Jew-hating Leftists and neo-Nazi ideologies to take over. True Christianity -- which supports Israel and Jews -- is a crucial ally, not an enemy.
Your bias against Christians ignores all that. It is narrow in vision. Religious exclusivism can be an ugly thing. Just look at how Islamists act -- or what certain Christian groups, such as Orthodox or Replacement theology types, say -- they claim to have the only true faith. A lot of groups say that.
It's remarkable how much religious exclusivists have in common: a radical Muslim and Orthodox Christian zealot also say that only their faith is true and all others are false. When you do the same, how are you not just like them?
You can choose to reply to me in anger or just pause and think about it. I am not your enemy. But Jews do have enemies, so it's time to put aside religious exclusivism that divides us and focus on how we can be more supportive of each other.
I don’t think it’s “Jews” people are finding offensive so much as those pretending and hising behind Judaism and “the Jews”. Otherwise known as Zionists.
Anyone w a Christian background has always been told the Jews are God’s chosen people and we should respect them as such, but awareness is growing of the distinction between Jews and Zionists.
There is nothing wrong with Zionism; it is simply the belief that Jews have a right to their own ancestral homeland, which they have now paid for with sweat and blood for well over 100 years. Denying them the right to their own land and the defense of their own people is ridiculous. It's a moral issue: Hamas is pure evil, and Israel is on the side of civilization.
Yes they have the right to have land, but not at the expense of taking it away from someone else. That land they currently occupy was taken from others who’ve lived there for thousands of years.
Cursed & afflicted are the cross worshipers with the endless derangements about Jews🤣🤔😵💫🙄😖
Proof that the cursed are ugly inside and out
In case you're unaware, Israel is thriving as the fifth happiest Nation in its third millennium in the year 5786 watched over by the eternal God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob as his eternally chosen people with an unbroken covenant that the cross worshipers prematurely proclaimed as a broken promise by the one true God proclaiming themselves as the true Jews what falsity and audacity for the cross worshipers to proclaim such blasphemy 🇮🇱🕊️🇮🇱
Those who bless Israel will be blessed those who curse Israel will look like Vernon Coleman and ooze out into the comment sections manifesting their demonic entities similar to the trinitarian manifestation of demonic I've named Nicandioqatarlson requiring exorcism by🔥
And further illustrating the eternal truth of the Torah that teaches those who bless Israel will be blessed, those who curse Israel will be cursed and will lose as they ooze and dry hump their days away bitching about Jews helpless like a dog to its vomit they return to cursed Jews all day everyday forevermore
You assert that antisemitism "is dangerous because it creates and circulates lethal fictions". Then you describe the fictions as "a world secretly ruled by conniving Israeli puppet masters who, through disloyal American Jews and their heretical Christian Zionist allies, control U.S. foreign policy for their own ends through sexual blackmail, AIPAC payoffs, false-flag operations, and assassinations." You say it is "it’s a cognitive map built entirely on lies." But is this a "fiction"? Are these entirely "lies"?
I have seen recently a high level Israeli brag that Israel has inserted some technical spyware (or worse!) into all recently manufactured electronics. Of course, this is particularly disturbing after the exploding pagers. China has even complained about this being true with regard to Samsung. The we have the recent revelations about how Epstein was interacting at high levels of government. Definitely AIPAC does seem to control who gets into the government. We can find Zionists conducting false flags throughout the 20th century. And Zionists in 20th century were committing assassinations.
Certainly, actual Zionist/ Israeli operations, when revealed, do expose ordinary supporters of Israel to condemnation for affiliating with a group that inserts spyware in technologies, commits false flags and assassinations as well as sexual blackmail and grouping together to ensure only favored politicians are elected.
I'm not saying the world is secretly ruled by "conniving Israeli puppet masters". But there are a lot of embarrassing truths being revealed about high level machinations. And it does seem like many American Jews who are ardent supporters of Israel are advocating for silencing the truth coming out.
I think the answer would be to join the side seeking the truth. Instead we see "organized Jewry" events like the one referred to in the article worrying about antisemitism instead of worrying about the noxious element in the Jewish community that are causing the problem. A lot of the recent rise in antisemitism is due to rising awareness of Jewish behaviors that harm others.
Calling people "low IQ" lunatic idiots is not the solution. Facing the truth is.
After recent events in Iran it's all becoming more and more obvious, even normal everyday people who never harbored any ill will towards them are frustrated feeling we've lost our country to a foreign people who seem to hate us and continue to play victim when we point out these problems.
"As a Jewish convert to Orthodox Christianity with a fairly wide set of historical books under my belt, it troubles me to see some hierarchs and channels following the world's narrative about "anti-Semitism" and all the things that have been done to "combat anti-Semitism." I'll tell you directly, as a 100% pure blooded Ashkenazi man, how to fix "anti-Semitism:" Anti-Semitism will end when faithless Jews leave other groups of people alone and stop trying to transform their nations and cultures in ways that invariably harm the populations in question. It is really not that complicated.”
Thanks for this essay. What infuriates: you don't 'flirt' with anti-Semitism; it carries such a lethal charge - you do a good job of explaining this. Sometimes I just get fed up with the impervious-to-reason Jew-haters and say, "Don't mess with God's People!"
Thanks for returning to substack. I am looking forward to more.
