Victor Davis Hanson: Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens Do Not Represent Most Christians Or Americans On Israel
RealClearPolitics ^ | 4/10/2024 | Ian Schwartz

Posted on 04/11/2024 7:01:21 AM PDT by marcusmaximus

Hoover Institution senior fellow Victor Davis Hanson on SiriusXM's 'The Megyn Kelly Show' addressed the divide on the right on Israel and called out Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens for criticizing the situation on the ground in Gaza.

-snip-

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON:

Most of the evangelical community I know is still very pro-Israel. I think what we're talking about is the libertarian, right intellectual movement.

I know that Tucker Carlson is voicing things, Candace Owens has, the CATO Institute's been very vocal. There's some people on that website who've called for breaking relations almost with Israel.

But I don't think it represents most Christians, much less most Americans. But I don't know quite what their argument is because I've seen so many of them.

It doesn't take a lot of brains to say “there's 500 million people in the Middle East and there's 12 million that live in a democratic government.” And that is the only democratic constitutional system there.

The Only Way for Israel to Truly Defeat Hamas
Why the Zionist Dream Depends on a Two-State Solution

Foreign AffairsBy Ami Ayalon
April 11, 2024
https://www.foreignaffairs.com/israel/way-israel-truly-defeat-hamas-ayalon

The war Israel launched on Hamas after the group’s horrific October 7 attacks is a righteous mission. Hamas fighters massacred hundreds of innocent people, deliberately killed children and the elderly, and raped and mutilated women. They abducted hundreds of civilians—including women, infants, and octogenarians—and held them captive in dismal conditions, subject to abuse and starvation. Their actions contravened any sense of law and humanitarian principles. The slaughterers, still spattered with blood, made gleeful boasts about their atrocities that were broadcast in horrific videos and quoted in news articles. In response, Israel has waged a just war of self-defense.

But Israelis are not the only ones suffering. Tens of thousands of people have been killed in Gaza, many of them civilians, including thousands of women and children. The war is especially cruel because the fighting is taking place in congested population centers and because the enemy has turned schools, mosques, and hospitals—places where civilians seek shelter—into military command centers, communications hubs, and weapons factories and caches. Hamas, which governs Gaza, has turned the people it is obligated to protect into human shields. While Hamas’s leaders and fighters hide in Gaza’s hundreds of miles of underground tunnels, civilians are defenseless in the line of fire. (excerpt)

Nobody is saying that we have to fight a war for the. Just let them crush Hamas, and finish the job in Gaza.

Not that is known. Probably too much security would have been required.

“You zippers make me sick.”

Hope you feel better soon.

Ukraine is going to have to accept that it will lose some parts of the Russian backed areas.

The US radar base in the Negev near Gaza is said to operate drones.

Back to drive-by spamming mommy?

Hiding your propaganda in other FReeper’s threads because your threads get yanked?

Israel is nothing more than a modern, secular, socialist state that is no different than its counterparts all over Europe.

The difference is that God has given us many promises of restoring Israel to be Godly and faithful nation.

Paul didn’t need Darby or Scofield to define what dispensationalism is. He invented it!

So because particular English translations of Paul's epistles use "dispensation" in place of the Greek word "oikonomían" (since he wrote all of his letters in Greek), it therefore follows that Paul was a "dispensationalist"? How is that logical?

And without reference to actual dispensationalism (which is commonly in reference to the theology popularized by Darby/Scofield), what would be the point in calling Paul a dispensationalist? (For reference, of the 60+ English translations of Ephesians 1:10 listed here, only 12 use the word "dispensation".)

It just strikes me as a rather inaccurate way to approach St. Paul's theology by grafting onto him the word "dispensationalist", as though it's an accurate reflection of his own beliefs and doctrine.

It’s an obligation when we have bases and troops in Israel. Besides, just being named in law as a major non-nato ally speaks for itself. Anyone can turn their back on anyone they have a commitment to, but it’s still a violation of trust. That’s the whole point of putting it into law and approving it by both House and Senate and having it signed by POTUS.

Does anyone else think it’s strange that right at the moment that the Isreal/Gaza war was turning into a massive problem for the Democrat machine that the media have sought to stoke division on the right? The slimmest reed will suffice. Tucker’s podcast hosts Munther Isaac, Candace Owen gets fired by the Daily Wire and suddenly there’s civil war on the right?

That’s nuts.

Back in the real world, Biden is in big trouble with an essential constituency in Dearbornistan. The media can be counted on to do their level best to try to make that murky, but it’s not going to work.

The dustup over Tucker and Candace is going to be forgotten next week, and Joe will still have a problem in Michigan.

I think it more correct to assume your major FR activity is not actually posting but being involved the “drive-by” spamming Freeper?
