IMO the article is trash. It uses every chance to suggest that telling the truth about Israel is anti-jew and antisemitism. There is this problem people have where they grow to hate people so much like Trump or Tucker Carlson that if they said something so basic like that the Earth is round, you'd have people wanting to suddenly suggest it is flat cause they can't imagine someone they hate ever saying something correct.
There are a lot of reasons to dislike Tucker Carlson. However, not everything your enemy says or does has to be incorrect. In fact, believing that to be the case only makes you weak and vulnerable to being manipulated yourself.
It all boils down to the question if we should care about people arguing in bad faith.
Carlson proved to be Putin's mouthpiece, everything he says follows an agenda, which is, as mentioned in the article, to divide the US.
Does it matter that he and a lot of people on social media just play pretend because they want to hurt Bidens chances of reelection?
I think it should be allowed to be pointed out, even though they're not wrong. They just don't care about Palestinians. For Carlson at least that much is obvious.
