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, conservative American journalist Tucker Carlson has said. America’s association with Israel’s “many crimes” has damaged its global reputation, he argued.
Speaking to Israeli Channel 13 in an interview aired on Tuesday, Carlson said he is “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, adding that the US has no obligation “to lend its moral authority” to Israel.
Because of the US-Israeli war against Iran, Washington’s relationship with West Jerusalem, while well-intentioned, “is hurting the US very badly,” Carlson said.

Carlson added that he blames 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 reelection 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 radio show host Alex Jones.
