So… Tucker Carlson just ended Ted Cruz’s career

I’m not Jewish, and I don’t think of myself as someone who reflexively hypothesizes antisemitism, and I thought some of the Ted Cruz interview was entertainingly cringe.

BUT: the rate at which people criticize Israel, ignore the normalization of actual Nazis, and make comments about AIPAC etc. has surprised me, and it makes me think that more people around me than I realized have at least a twinge of antisemitic bias to them. I just do not get it.

Everything you said seems to reflect the views of someone who doesn’t appear to comprehend at all what most everyone else in the world is seeing, but I guess the quickest path to getting somewhere in any conversation with you is this …

Setting aside the pejorative label for a moment, why is “a twinge of bias” relating to Israel in any way something that should bother any of us? We allow far more than a twinge of bias to exist in our society toward many groups. Those particular biases result in adverse impacts for those segments of our community that result in much more harm and are many orders of magnitude more destructive than any impact caused by anti-Israeli bias.

Given that, why should any of us join you in wringing our hands to ensure that Israelis, Zionists, or frankly even non-Zionist Jews are shielded from a view that judges them based on their actions, perceived or real?

Is it antisemitism or is it self preservation? What American wants to go to war in Iran? Israel was already getting bad press for Gaza but pushing America to invade Iran as Netanyahu put it “America first or America dead” even pissed off the president eventually and possibly led to the NY mayor victory. Israel fatigue is what’s going on even among American Jews

None of your examples (except the nazi one) are anti-jewish. Unless you're conflating jew-ish-ness to be part and parcel to Israel. I will warn you that tethering yourself to a racist, apartheid, war crimes, ethnostate is a double edged sword however. Just the fact that certain Americans don't care that Israel actively spies on corporations as well as politicians and intelligence agencies with thousands of operatives is telling. This is literally the least offensive thing Israel does in America.

No other "ally" does this to America. There are plenty of patriotic jews in this country who call out the bs but they're not platformed; because there are even more non-jews who are paid foreign operatives for Israel shilling out propoganda and lies. This bs would be called out if the same arguments were used to defend Britain, Canada, or even America, itself.

For example, if America were to randomly bomb people because it felt like it... oh wait, that's right. They're doing that to a few boats in South America and they're screaming war crimes on Chump and Hegseth. Hell, even you are probably standing with me at the front of this lynch mob.

Distrust (or even hatred) of Israel is not an anti-jewish thing. It's a human rights issue. Why you think they get a pass is crazy. At least a dozen Israeli leaders should be in the Hague and the IDF should be disbanded because it's not a professional army but a bunch of thugs that commit war crimes daily.

Ah, the age old tactic of crying anti-semitism when people criticize Israel and their lobbying groups. What's next, criticizing Miss Rachel as being anti-Semitic for not wanting kids in Gaza to die? No one's falling for that crap anymore. Try harder next time.

Sure, the Zionism propaganda complex can keep this corpse on life support enough for his brainwashed constituents to keep him in his current office.

But let’s see this douche make another run for the presidency …

Especially as Cruz ages, I think it's incredibly obvious he's ethnically Jewish. There's certainly nothing Spanish about him, but he of course took full advantage of claiming to be "Cuban/Spanish" ethnicity to scam his way into Princeton and HLS. And now this Canadian midwit scams his way through Texas politics pretending to be some fat cowboy.
