Jeff Lax, a CUNY law professor and founder of SAFE CAMPUS, said former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has crossed into “dangerous antisemitic territory,” following Carlson’s widely criticized interview with far-right activist Nick Fuentes, an avowed Hitler admirer, yimakh shemo ve’zikhro, and Holocaust denier. In a detailed discussion with VINnews contributor Alan Skorski, Lax said Carlson’s recent commentary and guest choices reflect a disturbing pattern. “There were warning signs early on,” Lax said, “but after the Fuentes interview and the repeated smears against Israel and Jewish conservatives, it’s clear what direction he’s taken.” Fuentes appeared on Carlson’s digital platform in October 2025, where he was given extended, largely unchallenged time to promote conspiratorial claims about Israel and its supporters. Carlson at times echoed similar themes, particularly in criticizing Israel’s military actions in Gaza. Carlson told viewers that “you have to judge people on their behavior, not on their blood,” before accusing Israeli leaders of suggesting Palestinians are “stained from birth.” Fuentes, in the same interview, claimed Israel views all Palestinians as inherently “guilty.” The backlash intensified as Carlson labeled Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu an “enemy of Western civilization” and compared forms of Zionism to Nazism, saying: “Why are the Nazis bad? They’re bad for that exact same reason… Any belief system that starts by declaring one group morally superior to another violates Western values.” The controversy also triggered turmoil within the conservative movement. After Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts declined to distance the organization from Carlson, several members of Heritage’s antisemitism task force — including Rabbi Yaakov Menken, attorney Mark Goldfeder, and Christian Zionist leader Laurie Cardoza Moore — resigned in protest. Skorski noted that Carlson aggressively challenges pro-Israel guests while offering sympathetic platforms to Israel’s harshest critics. The only exception cited was an interview with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), during which Carlson repeatedly interrupted the senator’s defense of Israel. “Carlson insists he isn’t antisemitic,” Skorski said. “But he consistently targets Jewish figures who strongly support Israel — Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, AIPAC supporters — while giving a free pass to their most extreme opponents. He claims he’s criticizing their ‘views,’ yet he repeatedly distorts those views and amplifies their adversaries.” The dispute marks one of the most significant breaks between Carlson and conservative Jewish leaders to date, with critics warning that his growing alignment with extremist voices poses a serious threat to the broader discourse on Israel and antisemitism. -VIN News Alan Skorski Reports - 03DEC2025 - PODCAST

Terror has spread across the globe, to almost every continent. What will YOU do, if you find yourself in a dangerous situation? Tamar speaks with Colonel Yonatan David Zagdanski (US Army Ret.) from the 'Citizen Defenders Project'. "On October 7th 2023, thousands of terrorists from Gaza stormed and destroyed nearby communities, murdering and taking hostages at will. But in Ein Habesor, something very different happened: Ordinary citizens armed with their personal firearms managed to fight and repel waves of heavily armed terrorists. Their actions saved their entire village from certain massacre." "When terrorists attack, every second counts!" Zagdanski says.

In a recent interview with podcast host Alan Skorski, historian and author Uri Kaufman discussed his forthcoming book, American Intifada: Israel, the Gaza War, and the New Antisemitism, arguing that progressive support for Hamas following the October 7, 2023, massacre stems from cognitive dissonance and a racialized worldview that casts Israelis as “white oppressors” and Palestinians as “people of color.” Kaufman, whose previous work on the Yom Kippur War was named a top history book by the Financial Times, pointed to former President Barack Obama’s post-October 7 comments as a prime example. Obama stated that “nobody’s hands are clean” in the conflict and described the situation for Palestinians as “unbearable,” partly attributing it to Israel’s “occupation.” “There was no occupation,” Kaufman said, noting Israel’s full withdrawal from Gaza in 2005 under Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, including the removal of all settlements and even the exhumation of Jewish graves. He called Obama’s reference to an ongoing occupation factually incorrect and not merely an instance of cognitive dissonance, but a deliberate distortion. Cognitive dissonance, Kaufman explained, occurs when individuals alter facts to preserve deeply held beliefs rather than adjust those beliefs. For many progressives, he argued, an obsession with race leads them to view Gazans as oppressed people of color and Israeli Jews — regardless of the country’s ethnic diversity — as privileged whites. This framework, he said, allows supporters to justify calls for humanitarian aid to Hamas-ruled Gaza even after the group’s October 7 attack killed 1,200 people, involved widespread rape and the burning of infants, and resulted in 250 hostages being taken. “Imagine if white supremacists controlled Gaza and committed the same atrocities against Black Israelis,” Kaufman posed hypothetically. “No one on the left would demand aid for them. But because Palestinians are seen as people of color, the same rules don’t apply.” Kaufman also addressed Israel’s intelligence failure leading to October 7, attributing it to the “Conceptzia” — a prevailing assumption that Hamas would never risk its lucrative arrangements with Israel by launching a full-scale attack. Prior to the massacre, he noted, Israel supplied Gaza with massive amounts of aid: in 2022 alone, 5.7 billion gallons of water, two-thirds of its electricity, all of its fuel, 67,000 truckloads of goods, and work permits for 17,000 Gazans. “Hamas was willing to sacrifice everything for jihad,” Kaufman said. “Israel had no Plan B because it never imagined an enemy would choose national suicide over survival.” On shifting global attitudes, Kaufman described a “moral collapse” in Western Europe and parts of the English-speaking world, including Canada, Australia, France and the United Kingdom. Yet he highlighted strong pro-Israel sentiment in Central and Eastern Europe — such as Hungary, Poland and Serbia — as well as in Asian democracies like South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore. -VIN News Alan Skorski Reports 25NOV2025 - PODCAST
