I watched the video. I failed to hear the question referred to in the post title. Did he ask it before or after this segment?

And what was the answer?

What a dumb fucking argument...

The claim is: "The Israeli Prime Minister Minister has ancestral heritage linking him to this land"

The argument against this argument isn't "Can you prove it?"

It's "Who gives a fuck?"

Tucker pushes Huckabee on if he actually believes in the Zionist* "Biblical" narrative, or whether he is but a grifter, using the Zionist narrative despite knowing it is a lie.

This is more than just a "Biblical narrative"...it's Israel's core Zionist narrative. Their entire claim to the Holy Land, is that they are the direct descendants of the Jews who were exiled thousands of years ago.

In the vast majority of cases though, this claim isn't true. The majority of Israeli Jews are of European descent. Their ancestors never came from that region.

Man. The lane that Democrats are leaving open by being so obscenely pro-Israel. Hope y'all are ready for Tucker/ Owens 2028.

I still maintain Tucker will tap MTG as veep, but yeah. Dems will stop at nothing to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

As opposed to murdering people ob the streets, disappearing thousands on thousands of people, and declaring wars across the world as per the current regime? At the hands of a pedophile child murderer?

Fuck off with the 'buh Dems' shit.

You want to stop fascism? Get on board. Otherwise keep doing what you're doing.

This is so fucking stupid.

Just more fascist eugenics from American Nazis.

While I generally agree with questioning the status of isnotreal and its “citizens” I don’t think Tucker is the mouthpiece for “progressive” talking points.

Tucker does a lot better than most "progressive" interviewers when it comes to Palestine

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 5 points 50 minutes ago (1 children)

While it is from an obnoxiously xenophobic “America first” perspective, at least Tucker does seem to believe Israel should not be able to buy all American politicians and dictate what they do in office. It’s incredibly sad that this does position him better than most political pundits in the US. Calling this progressive is a stretch though, it’s just objective views on reality and what it means to be a sovereign nation.

Tucker is 90% likely bribed by Qatar but in this case I do not care go Tuckerman go.
