Tucker Carlson keeps flaunting his anti-Semitism

In yet another episode of his show loaded with attacks on Judaism, newly-minted, anti-Israel/anti-Semitic podcaster Tucker Carlson is now pinning the ancient Jewish hope of rebuilding the Temple in Jerusalem squarely on the Chabad Hasidic movement.

Carlson, with his bizarre giggle and high-pitched voice, went full throttle Thursday in ripping into core traditional Jewish beliefs, zeroing in on the concept of the Third Temple in Jerusalem.

On the latest installment of "The Tucker Carlson Show," the 56-year-old ex-Fox News host dove into what he insisted were "Israel’s true motives" in the ongoing war with Iran.

With no references given, nor how he concluded his delusional "facts," Carlson flat-out predicted that Iran won't fold under joint Israeli-American strikes. Unless President Donald Trump pulls the plug on U.S. involvement in the next 48 hours, he warned, the whole thing spirals wildly out of control.

"This thing takes a life of its own," Carlson said. "The Iranians are not going to surrender. They are not going to stop popping off missiles."

But Carlson didn't stop there. He argued that Israel has every incentive to keep the war raging, purely as cover for bigger plans: blowing up the Dome of the Rock and Al Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount.

"So, in that environment when you can’t really know what’s going on, it’s thousands of miles from here, all of a sudden the Al Aqsa complex is just vaporized. 'Oops, the Iranians did it'," Carlson pontificated without a scrap of evidence other than his hatred of Israel.

His theory is straight out of the debunked playbook that's floated around Arab and Muslim circles for decades, ever since Israel reclaimed the Old City of Jerusalem in 1967.

To back it up, Carlson pointed to a viral clip of an IDF soldier flashing a patch tied to the Third Temple.

"Beit HaMikdash," Carlson said, with a slight Middle East accent. "That's the Hebrew term for the Temple, the Third Temple." He claimed the soldier's words and that patch prove the IDF and Israeli government are dead set on razing the Dome of the Rock and Al Aqsa Mosque.

"We are doing this so we can rebuild the Temple," Carlson continued. "Now, you'll notice he's pulling off patches from his IDF uniform. These are not civilian clothes. This is the uniform of the government of Israel, of its military."

Look, belief in eventually rebuilding the Temple in Jerusalem sits at the heart of traditional Judaism. It's right there in the Book of Ezekiel and got locked in as a fundamental principle in the Babylonian Talmud some 1,600 years ago.

But Carlson spun it differently. He insisted this push comes largely from the Chabad movement. Chabad, a Hasidic dynasty that ramped up global outreach to secular Jews after the Holocaust, has long promoted classic Orthodox teachings, including faith in the future rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem.

"This has been going on a long time in public through, in part, the efforts of a group called Chabad. And you may know people who give money to Chabad or run Chabad. Super nice people engaged in all kinds of charitable activities . . . "

"But what is Chabad exactly? Well, Chabad, you can look it up, is a very old organization, about 250 years old, and it's a branch of Hasidic Judaism. It's an organization that was overseen for many years by a guy [how disrespectful Carlson is--his Jew hatred is obvious] called Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, who was famously in Brooklyn, considered the Messiah by some of his followers, who was a friend of presidents or certainly someone presidents visited, a very powerful man in the Orthodox and his Hasidic community. Chabad has been pushing in a pretty subtle way, unless you look carefully, for the reconstruction of the Third Temple. And it seems like from the reading we did recently, that those patches actually came from Chabad. Well, in any case, Chabad is pushing for the building of the Third Temple."

"But it's not just Hasidic groups from Brooklyn, and it’s not just IDF soldiers. There are amazingly a lot of American evangelical leaders, Christian Zionists, whose main point is rebuilding the Third Temple."

Christian perspectives on the Third Temple and related biblical prophecies differ wildly, but Carlson branded those who buy into it as outright heretics.

"That’s more than apostasy," Carlson said.

Just days earlier, Carlson dropped a video rant calling Jews and Christians who hold to the Third Temple idea "deranged and demonic." You can see his videos on YouTube but I refuse to plug them here.

"I'm not going to go into the theology of it, which is deranged and demonic, actually. But it is a fact that people want this. And that is the beginning of really the end of the world as we know it."

Tucker Carlson is a disgusting sellout.
