He just aired a new episode related to the purge of Christians in Israel, this show interviewing a Palestinian Christian minister who lived his childhood there and tells stories of when the Israeli settlements began forming around his majority Christian town, was recorded prior his visit to Israel.

Reeally good episode and heartbreaking too!

Here is the summary of the episode:

In this video, Tucker Carlson and Christian minister Farres Abraham discuss the treatment of Christians in the Holy Land, focusing on the town of Bet Sahour, Abraham's hometown, near Bethlehem (10:21). Abraham highlights the existential threat to the Christian community in Bet Sahour, stating that Christians are leaving due to Jewish settlers moving into the town (11:03). He explains that these settlements are often funded by the Israeli government and supported by some Christians in the United States (11:16).

Abraham recounts a personal experience where his mother was shot by an Israeli soldier when he was ten years old (26:54). Despite this, he emphasizes the Christian teaching of loving enemies and not harboring bitterness (28:30). He notes that Palestinian Christians take the Sermon on the Mount very seriously, believing it calls for forgiveness and love even in the face of persecution (27:42).

The conversation also touches on "home mapping," a policy where Israeli soldiers enter Palestinian homes for intelligence gathering, often locking families in a room for extended periods (41:16). Abraham shares another incident where a Christian young man was killed by a stone dropped by an Israeli soldier during such an operation (41:46).

The discussion extends to the role of Christian Zionism, which Abraham defines as a theopolitical movement that believes God has two distinct peoples with separate plans and covenants (1:03:37). He argues that Christian Zionism has replaced Jesus with the current state of Israel (1:08:06). Abraham stresses that Jesus expanded the scope of God's promise to everyone, not just a geographical location or a specific bloodline (1:08:32). He criticizes the notion that current-day Jews have a stronger ancestral claim to the land than Palestinian Christians, suggesting DNA tests would reveal Palestinian Christians are more closely related to first-century inhabitants (1:17:10).

A significant point of concern for Abraham is a Christian summit in Jerusalem where participants were reportedly instructed not to mention the name of Jesus or preach (1:23:40). He sees this as a troubling parallel to biblical accounts where disciples were told not to speak of Jesus (1:24:16). He concludes by stating that the gospel message includes advocating for the marginalized and bringing God's love to those suffering (1:42:22). He expresses deep concern that the vacuum created by violence and despair in places like Gaza will be filled by radicalism and extremism (1:47:27).

Tucker Carlson says he was detained in Israel following an ambassador interview

“Men who identified themselves as airport security took our passports, hauled our executive producer into a side room and then demanded to know what we spoke to Ambassador Huckabee about,” Carlson said in an exclusive interview to the Daily Mail.

It seems that Israel actually cares a great deal about how they are perceived in the country where they get all their money and support from, but not at all about how they are perceived in the country they control. I guess it's a question of "priorities".

About to watch that next. Tucker also interviewed Dr Fares Abraham - a Christian Palestinian who was born in Bethlehem, founder of Levant Ministeries, can trace family roots there back 2000 years. He details examples of how Christians are getting the exact same treatment by the Israelis as Islamists and notes that diasporic Jews are not allowed to complete Aliyah if they believe in Jesus. Tucker is astounded at some of the tales that Abraham relates with the typical Tucker, 'Wait, what?!' Both Tucker and Abraham seem to have similar beliefs about what the bible is actually saying and how the Israelis are getting the ideas totally wrong. In any case, this totally wipes any notion that the Israelis have any benevolent notion of Judeo-Christianity and puts the ideals of Christian Zionists further under the spotlight for questioning about the true nature of their faith.

In his introductory monologue Tucker addresses how he perceives the truth hitting his senses that I found myself nodding along to as he spoke. I was good to hear it spoken of in the way he addresses it.

About to watch that next.

It's...stunning...to hear Huckabee's mind. It's so narrow! I found the revealing interview difficult to watch at times. Tucker's monologue at the beginning were he relates how this interview came about and how he and his crew were treated (before (US embassy) and after ("thugs")) made me think Tucker should not go back to Israel. They might have been lucky to get out of there this time.
