Right-wing American journalist Tucker Carlson and his staff were reportedly detained in Israel on Wednesday following an interview with an American official.
Uh… they were handed back their passports, they did leave the country after all.
Something you have to understand about Tucker is he says things in a way that’s technically true, but extremely exaggerated and leaves out details and lets his audience’s prejudices fill in the gaps. He was at the airport to leave the country sometime after doing an interview. Technically his passport was taken (by a customs official) after and interview (when he went to the airport).
The headline leads you to think he did an interview and some Mossad agents took his passport and put him under some hot lights and interrogated him for hours. Why did they neglect to mention that someone at the airport took his passport as he was going through customs? Because you’d know the context and wouldn’t make assumptions based on your prejudices.
These are the tactics anti-semites use to pull people into their bullshit. And you seem very willing to go along with it.
I can’t believe the ratio of your comment. Are people really taking Tucker Carlson’s word at face value and feeling sympathy for him? The Israeli government is a piece of shit and so is Carlson, and yet people are wanting to “take sides” here.

You sound like a zuppet.
