‘Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens don’t represent American Christians when it comes to Israel’
World Israel News ^ | 4/11/24 | David Rosenberg

Posted on 04/12/2024 5:15:14 PM PDT by Roman_War_Criminal

Victor Davis Hanson, a historian and professor emeritus of California State University, Fresno, pushed back on criticism of Israel on the American Right, adding that recent comments by right-wing pundits like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens do not represent the conservative movement or the American Religious Right.

Hanson, who has frequently appeared as a guest on Carlson’s now-cancelled Fox News show, “Tucker Carlson Tonight”, and his current, independently-produced “Tucker Carlson Uncensored,” spoke with Megyn Kelly on Wednesday regarding the rise in anti-Israel rhetoric on the American Right.

Ignorant Arguments about Christians and Israel

“Most of the evangelical community I know is still very pro-Israel,” Hanson said.

“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 has been very vocal.”

“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 vast majority of Palestinians support Hamas.
Hamas is dedicated to killing Jews, including raping and torturing Jewish infants. Which they do when given the opportunity.
You support Palestinians.

Deductive reasoning is not your strong suit. You should be banned based on your demonstrated amoral character.

Behold the fruits of Replacment Theology. Gentiles are supposed to provoke Jews to jealousy with YESHUA.

I’m surprised at Hanson, Carlson and Candace views should be open for debate.

Au contraire. They're COERCED to support the very terrorist group that was created by Israel, because Our Greatest Ally Ever needed a check on the PLO.

Hamas is dedicated to killing Jews

The IDF has killed countless of Palestinian children randomly and indiscriminately.

including raping and torturing Jewish infants. Which they do when given the opportunity.

You mean like the 40 Israeli infants that were beheaded but was later turned out to be a bald-faced lie?

You support Palestinians.

I support America. I don't give a feces about the Middle East or any other country. I want elected Americans with no dual-citizenship to Our Greatest Ally Ever to be responsible for Americans.

Deductive reasoning is not your strong suit. You should be banned based on your demonstrated amoral character.

Common-sense isn't yours, so we're even.

Very direct post there. Well done.

The last I heard, "American Christianity" isn't a religion. So I don't know what VDH's point is in writing this piece.

Countless leftist Jews hate Israel as much as any jihadist does.

I can confirm that because I’ve sat at dinner table and listened to them expressing that hatred.

It goes back to Pre-War Europe where the Socialist Bundist Jews despised the Zionists, because they felt concentrating all Jewish people in one country, ran counter to their goal of a world-wide Socialist Revolution.

Evangelicals who subscribe to ‘replacement theology’, also known as ‘supersessionism’, believe that the Christian Church has replaced Israel, as His Covenant People. ‘Liberal’ Christians just plain fall for ANY social justice shtick so, are against Israel. I am neither ‘supersessionalist’ nor ‘liberal’, so I side with Israel. God’s particular covenant to Abraham, was NOT conditional, as far as I understand, so I take Gen 12:3-4 to remain in force. If Israel oversteps, God will chastise, it is not up to Believers to chastise!

Personally, I wish Israel did not have to resort to the destruction of Gaza but Hamass had MANY opportunities to resolve the issue by returning the hostages ALIVE, and SURRENDERING. They chose not to, so unfortunately, the non-Hamass Palis are suffering the consequences.

I do believe that we are witnessing the start of the war described in Ezekiel 38-39. IMO, even if Netanyahu did not pursue the destruction of Hamass, Iran, through the Houthis and Hezbollah, would bring on WW3 (Ezekiel 38-39), anyway. God’s timetable cannot be stopped.

In the near future, we will look upon even the BS that was the CCP-Coronavirus lockdowns as ‘the good old days’, let along times before that. We are in the twilight of existence now, IMO. Fortunately, after all the hell of man’s wars against man, and soon, against God, God is victorious and His Believers will spend eternity with Him a new Earth and Heavens.

Wrong, so completely wrong. Proven over and over again by every poll. But for an abject apologist for the new Nazis it is your mantra. Bad try, you failed.

Hamas is dedicated to killing Jews

The IDF has killed countless of Palestinian children randomly and indiscriminately.

Oh look, a deflection rather than denial. Because the truth cannot be denied. Israel is operating by the rules of war. It is your beloved Hamas that openly admits to and practices genocide. Your deflection is an admission that you know the truth and will never live by it, because you prefer evil.

including raping and torturing Jewish infants. Which they do when given the opportunity.

You mean like the 40 Israeli infants that were beheaded but was later turned out to be a bald-faced lie?

Not all were lies. But then you don't have the guts to actually watch the videos your beloved Hamas murderers and rapists took. Did you wish you were there?

You support Palestinians.

I support America. I don't give a feces about the Middle East or any other country. I want elected Americans with no dual-citizenship to Our Greatest Ally Ever to be responsible for Americans.

Another deflection. You protest the lawful actions of Israel in order to support a virulent anti-Semitic and anti-American population of Hamas supporting Palestinians. Then, when caught, you try to hide behind pretend patriotism. Which is it? Do you hate Israel or America more?

Deductive reasoning is not your strong suit. You should be banned based on your demonstrated amoral character.

Common-sense isn't yours, so we're even.

We will never be even. You will never be even close to a moral and reputable character with your lies and evasions in support of terroristic murderers.

There is some truth in what you say. Whether it’s Jew fatigue or flat out antisemitism, the tide of opinion is and will continue to turn against Israel and the Jews. It’s even in evangelical churches - not all thankfully.

I stand with Israel and the Jewish people because God through the Bible and personal conviction tells me to. In the end, both true Christians and Jews will be targeted by a world system that hates God and anyone who they think represents him. It’s a Satanic hatred. Both a world government and Satan can’t abide a rival.

Throughout the book of Ezekiel (and other scripture) God states he will bring those Jews scattered throughout the world back to Israel. One way he does that is through persecution - so I expect it to increase because all Jews are not back as yet. The prophetic scriptures tell that Israel will stand alone against the nations toward the end of the age - all will forsake her. Zechariah 12:3 speaks about God making Jerusalem a cup of trembling and a burdensome stone for all the people “…though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.”

Bad days are ahead for Israel (and all nations).

That is Rabinical Judaism. Messianic Judaism follows YESHUA. Rabinical Judaism is the Judaism of man. Messianic Judaism is growing here and Israel.

I have followed the Israeli Palestinian conflict closely since Israel gave up Gaza to the Palestinians. Fact is the Palestinians continuously voted in Hamas, they got the “ government “ they choosed, and the vast majority support Hamas.

There are consequences for voting in year after year an Islamic terrorist organization, as we are witnessing. The other Palestinians in the West Bank choosed to vote in Fatah, and are able to co-exist with the Israelis.

Hamas must be eradicated.
