Tucker Carlson Smacks Down Interviewer on Israel's "Right to Exist": Does Lebanon? Does Gaza?

This is a beautiful smackdown. Don't ever try to out-debate Tucker.



March 21, 2026 Tucker Carlson: "The first thing that Israel did within two weeks of this war starting, which is supposedly existential for them, was take southern Lebanon, take someone else's country, as they have done repeatedly. And no one even mentions that. And so I guess I would be opposed to that because I guess I think Lebanon has a right to exist. I thought Gaza had a right to exist. But I noticed that as soon as we started rights, only one country gets them."

I saw this interview, it was a disaster for the neo-liberal zio-cons.

Tucker Carlson's big mad that Trump cancelled his grift. Good to see a broken clock be right twice a day, though.

Making a living is now. . . "grifting?"

What indication do you have that he does not now believe in what he does?

I've watched his entire career since his MSNBC days. The dude's opinion is whatever will make him the most money, even if he happens to be right sometimes.

They have a right to exist..but they've always had that right. The problem is, they don't return the favor to Palestinians right to exist in the land that they all shared before the Limey's showed up and bleeped everything up. The Israeli government behaves like the biggest bully on the block in the Middle East. All with our money and weapons. That, and Bibi actually funnels the cash to start Hamas..who eventually gives him exactly what he and the rest of the Likud party wants..open warfare.

They didn`t pick a random country with a skyscraper to fly a hijacked airliner into. We made ourselves a target. Reap what you sow.

I wonder who he was arguing with there. Anyway of course the question is meaningless, it has purely rhetorical value in such a debate. I suspect it is used as a segue to the Holocaust "Do Jews have a right to exist" and that's how the Zionists like to steer such arguments.

He should have asked her "Did the Third Reich have a right to exist"?

Although what Carlson said is true, people have been saying things like it since the 1940s but it has been rare to see it, very rare, especially in the United States.
