“Manufactured Fear, Not Reality” - Tucker Carlson on Israel’s Narrative Speaking to The American Conservative, Tucker Carlson argued that calls to “hate Muslims” are a deliberate Israeli government psyop aimed at convincing Americans that Israel’s enemies are their own. He said radical Islam has not posed a real threat to ordinary Americans for decades, pointing instead to domestic crises destroying U.S. society, suicide, drug overdoses, unemployment, and social decay. Carlson stressed that these realities, not Muslims or the Middle East, are what devastate American lives, exposing how fear of Islam is weaponized to justify foreign agendas and distract from deeper systemic failures at home.
