Washington should stop all aid to the Jewish state, the conservative commentator has argued
The US has no obligation to give Israel anything and should cut off all aid to the Jewish state, conservative American journalist Tucker Carlson has said. Washington’s association with what he described as Israel’s “many crimes” has damaged America’s global reputation, he argued.
Speaking to Israeli Channel 13 in an interview aired on Tuesday, Carlson said that he was “disgusted by the way that Israel treats Arabs, like animals or subhumans,” and argued that the Jewish state has “lost its morality.”
“I think we should stop all aid to Israel, all special deals for Israel. Tomorrow,” he said. The US also has no obligation “to lend its moral authority” to Israel, he added. Due to the US-Israeli war on Iran, Washington’s relationship with West Jerusalem, while well-intentioned, “is hurting the US very badly,” Carlson said.

Carlson added that he blamed President Donald Trump for “folding under pressure from [Israeli Prime Minister] Benjamin Netanyahu” and pulling the US into a war with Iran “that is bad for the United States.”
Despite being a staunch Trump supporter during his re-election campaign, the prominent conservative commentator has increasingly criticized the president on foreign policy. He has joined a growing list of disillusioned MAGA supporters such as ex-congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, commentator Candace Owens, and InfoWars host Alex Jones.
