Did he wet himself? Just asking questions.
Oh man. Tell Aviv airport security is no joke. You will get questioned on the road to the airport and it’s all business.
Too bad they didn’t tar and feather Fucker Carlson.
Yeah, but most VIP are escorted around the standard security. For this to happen they went in looking for something.
Carlson is fine and exited Israel. It’s totally normal to be detained and interrogated upon departure from Israel. I’m not saying it’s right or that Israel is cool. I’m saying this story is a nothing-burger and basically free press for Carlson’s upcoming interview with Huckabee.
This is not normal whatsoever. It is intimidation of journalists criticizing Israel.
If it’s how they operate, it’s normal for their country, by definition.
They’re straight up saying it’s not good.
The story is not a nothing-burger. Just because Israel has normalized harassing journalists it does not get to be a “normal occurrence”. Also they stopped a conservative journalist for criticism of Israel it is certainly not a random event.
LOL, ‘journalist’.
Still not worse than ‘israel’
Mainstream media has destroyed the meaning of the word “journalist”. Tucker asks more critical questions about Israel than most pretend journalists these days.
It’s not a nothing-burger
"Men who identified themselves as airport security took our passports, hauled our executive producer into a side room and then demanded to know what we spoke to Ambassador Huckabee about”
This seems decidedly abnormal…I would have thought private discussions between a US citizen and the US ambassador - likely conducted on US soil (embassy) in Israel - would be confidential and he should tell them they have no right to the content of their discussions and frankly they can suck his nuts from the back.
Carlson told the Daily Mail in a statement
You forgot to include the next sentence.
How much trust do you put in Tucker Carlson’s word?
…or the Daily Mail?
If both have negative trust, does that multiply to trustworthy?
two wrongs equal far right
More than I put in Israel’s
While that may be, it still doesn’t make him trustworthy.
that is not uncommon in airports in israel. especially for someone that was filming in israel.
It’s totally normal to be detained and interrogated upon departure from Israel.
I’m not so sure I agree with this.
I was there years ago for a conference. I didn’t do anything weird and still, just after the metal detector, officials took my passport and interviewed me. I wasn’t a very seasoned traveller at that point, so it felt a bit scary.
I am a seasoned traveller and that would scare me.
Israel has a “better safe than sorry” security mentality. Pro Israel and Pro Palestine people both will acknowledge their security is intense at the airport.
Israel has a “harass and intimidate” people mentality you mean
that’s all security theater has ever been
I’ve had so many people try to convince me that Israel is like a western country with similar amount of rights and freedom.
Bahahahaha
Sounds like the USA.
Bahahahaha
Give it a bit of time…the assholes like Stephen Miller are trying to implement isreales fascism in the USA as quickly as they can
Does that mean people of the US will have free healthcare like Israel?
You know, when I wrote my comment I took a long moment trying to decide if I should exclude US from “western country”. We should come up with a new word for the common wealths and Europe
I feel like “civilized society” works
Eurocracies.
Eurocentrism is just another flavor american-defaultism tho. They certainly did not invent civil society so the logic to name that after them is a bit embarrassing on your part.
a new word for the common wealths and Europe
Would include Russia since they’re European?
Which western country do you live in that you don’t need to hand over your passport and occasionally answer a few questions when going through customs?
In most Western countries they ask for it, receive it, spend a second or two inspecting it and then (and this is the crucial bit that appears to be missing in the case of Israel and other police states) hand it back to you.
Same goes for the questions when going through customs: a couple boilerplate “are you a terrorist whose mom packed your luggage with contraband produce and bottles of water” questions do not an interrogation make.
Uh… they were handed back their passports, they did leave the country after all.
Something you have to understand about Tucker is he says things in a way that’s technically true, but extremely exaggerated and leaves out details and lets his audience’s prejudices fill in the gaps. He was at the airport to leave the country sometime after doing an interview. Technically his passport was taken (by a customs official) after and interview (when he went to the airport).
The headline leads you to think he did an interview and some Mossad agents took his passport and put him under some hot lights and interrogated him for hours. Why did they neglect to mention that someone at the airport took his passport as he was going through customs? Because you’d know the context and wouldn’t make assumptions based on your prejudices.
These are the tactics anti-semites use to pull people into their bullshit. And you seem very willing to go along with it.
I can’t believe the ratio of your comment. Are people really taking Tucker Carlson’s word at face value and feeling sympathy for him? The Israeli government is a piece of shit and so is Carlson, and yet people are wanting to “take sides” here.
Edit: oh I see you’re also taking sides, but it’s the “Israeli government” side.
Ah, so a Nazi country won’t mistreat a fellow Nazi. I guess that’s not surprising.
Honest question israel first or america first?
hand over your passport and occasionally answer a few questions
Questions about one’s stay in the country are not the same questions this guy was facing. You’re reaching, here.
And I get that it’s Mr Carlson, who is a bit of a dick, but if they’ll detain him, they’ll detain many others.
Do you know the questions they were asked? Talk about reaching.
Why are you so ready to believe the word of an anti-semite?
Anti-Semite is going the way of terrorist
Its so overplayed, oversold and abused in so many ways, so often, that its almost meaningless now. And is mostly just a clear, intentional and abusive manipulation tactic to protect perpetrators from some shit they did and should 1000% be held accountable for.
Either you strait up hate Jews and that goes past anti Semite or it doesnt even apply to the conversation
Your not wrong about tucker exaggerating shit but fuck you for this you this tactical manipulation as if were all too dumb to see that shit.
Its such a bitch move
So you agree with Tucker’s stance on White Genocide ?
Your man Tucker is an overt white supremacist anti-semite. And you’re going along with him.
Talk about a bitch move.
Yeah this is what happens when you pay people to argue online
Its not really supposed to make sense
Its just supposed to sound like the bad people are winning if you don’t agree on reflex. They learned it from trump and tucker and every other asshole that gets away with it (marketing firms love that shit)
So you hate America then. You said an american did something. So you hate americans right?
That’s not how honest people sound
That’s how really desperate people sound when they are super worried that other people are not agreeing with them and their bullshit and are trying to convince anyone that your ‘the bad guy’ instead of facing their own shittiness and taking the loss 😂🤔

Something wrong with your keyboard?
nope. its a common enough thing that it’s referenced on wikipedia:
I was imitating you as a way of communicating how stupid you sound :D hope that helps.
You know, I think I’m okay with Israel doing bad things just this once.
You never see torture and sodomy of the press when you need it.
“press”
I’d love to see him get get crushed beneath a hydraulic press :3
I’d turn the sound on for that one
Back in my day it was the free press
I’d prefer Tucker be able to do a good thing for once.
I hate everyone here. It’s win-win, I think.
Israel probably sees some connection to Iran and Russia, which to me has been obvious for a very long time.
I wonder if Tucker interviewed a prominent Israeli that disagrees with the government and this is their way of preventing it from being aired.
He interviewed an American politician and then because he is an absolute media whore and constant “victim”, he went to one of the least reputable, right wing,
propaganda“news” organizations out there and told them about his “traumatic” interaction with airport security in a fascist police state.
Oh no! The fascist police state did the fascist police state shit it always does!
I’m getting more of a leopard face eating vibe.
Tucker Carson is very anti-Israel…
The article said he is critical of Israel.
This is the first time I’m hearing about it honestly. Does he call it a genocide?
Why would he go there for an interview? Usually journalists go to cover what’s happening to the Palestinian people, otherwise you could just have a remote call. But then again, he is not a journalist.
Something tells me he wanted to cause some friction.
He promotes the white replacement theory which is all about the Jews bringing in immigrants to replace the white race. aka White Genocide
So he believes a genocide is being done by Jews. Pretty sure he doesn’t give a fuck about Palestinians tho.
And yeah he wanted to cause friction, he’s an Anti-Semite.
That’s some old school hate he’s clinging to. His party moved on to Muslims then brown and trans since then.
It’s the political version of gen X still saying things are sick and rad.
Ps I’m trying to bring back rad.
I can’t find an exact quote with the specific word genocide, but he has accused Bibi of committing war crimes. Also, an Israeli advocacy group named him "Antisemite of the Year” for his anti-Zionist stances.
I saw he was recently interviewing Palestinian-Christian pastors around Israel and neighboring countries. Maybe he was still over there as part of that trip.
Also, an Israeli advocacy group named him “Antisemite of the Year”
Imagine Tucker Carlson and Ms. Rachel being lumped together.
/insert “We are not the same” meme
I’d wager that he’s just an opportunist and wants to make his “brand” friendly to neo Nazis while not alienating the “pro Israeli fascism” segment of the population that other media personalities cater to.
He plays the foil to the right-wing “Israel can do no wrong” crowd but likely isn’t actually that critical of the Israeli government like someone to the left of Democrats would be.
You are ok with Israel killing the person on the right wing that exposed Israel’s involvement in Epstein, and the Kirk assassination?
Not so good for further right wing defectors from the party that. Personally, I don’t support Israel killing American Citizens, even if I don’t like them. I also appreciate allies on an issue even if I don’t like them, or agree with them on everything.
If we don’t cooperate on what we agree on, and stop listening to people telling us to reject allies that aren’t pure enough, told to us by the worst people in the world, then those worst people in the world continue to win.
Israel is winning, because we condemn defectors that come out against Israel because they aren’t perfect.
You are ok with Israel killing the person on the right wing that exposed Israel’s involvement in Epstein, and the Kirk assassination?
He did no such thing. He’s just an antisemitic blowhard who makes up and spreads conspiracy theories and white supremacist hate for a living.
When the fascist apartheid regime he hates for all the wrong reasons turns out to be guilty of anything he’s accusing them of, that’s not him “exposing” anything, that’s him getting lucky.
Not so good for further right wing defectors from the party
He’s not that either. He may be outwardly “rebelling” on some topics, but he’s very much still a part of the fascist club.
If we don’t cooperate on what we agree on, and stop listening to people telling us to reject allies that aren’t pure enough, told to us by the worst people in the world, then those worst people in the world continue to win
Except that’s not at all what’s going on here.
Tucker Carlson doesn’t oppose Israel because he recognizes that Palestinians are human beings. He opposes Israel because he doesn’t believe Jewish people are human beings and conflates them with Israel.
You’re never going to stop a genocide by pointing out what a good ally someone is for being bigoted towards the people committing it.
Very convenient every person that goes against Israel on the left is labeled anti salmon, which, so are you by the way. The same people making that charge also charge you for it. Divide and conquer. It feels hopeless trying to talk sense to people manipulated by organized interests while we disparately are turned against our allies.
As if we had already won you are riding around on your high horse about “stopping a genocide” spending your time attacking the only ones on the right that have stood against it, an act of bravery at great personal and reputational cost, as you chalk it up to malign motives, as if that should fucking matter right now.
You know who has even worse motives? Israel. Their superfans and backers. The Evangelicals. I’m sure you will pull together enough support to stop Israel and their fascist designs, on america not just their own area, by working with the ones deemed pure enough. But you aren’t pure enough either by the same people that manipulated you into rejecting allies for lack of purity.
Grow the fuck up and look past your fucking hand, both hands, including the one stroking yourself off furiously about your moral superiority. If we listen to you, we lose.
we disparately are turned against our allies.
Tucker Carlson is your ally?
Yeah apparently this guy thinks Tucker is “on the left.”
Very convenient every person that goes against Israel on the left is labeled anti salmon, which, so are you by the way
Nope, it’s actually very INconvenient that Zionists conflate anti-zionism with antisemitism.
That you would accuse me of doing the same thing in your defense of an ACTUAL antisemitic bigot who you claim to be my natural ally is absolutely laughable.
As if we had already won you are riding around on your high horse about “stopping a genocide”
Yeah, because FSM forbid that I focus on what the enemy is doing that I oppose rather than hyperfocusing on who opposes the enemy while ignoring almost everything these “allies” say, including their own stated reasons for their opposition 🙄
spending your time attacking the only ones on the right that have stood against it, an act of bravery at great personal and reputational cost
Could you please get the bigot-cock out of your mouth for just one second? It’s hard to hear you over the slurping noises.
as you chalk it up to malign motives
To quote Maya Angelou, when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.
as if that should fucking matter right now.
It very much does. It has never been easier to find prominent allies willing to speak up against Israel for the right reasons than it is right now.
Aligning ourselves with the likes of Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, Candace Owens, Perjury Greene, and other bigots doesn’t get us anywhere closer to winning anything. It just gived Zionists an excellent opening for tarring us with the same brush.
You know who has even worse motives? Israel. Their superfans and backers
Nah, they’re about equal, as far as motives go.
The Evangelicals
Fun fact: that group very much includes Tucker Carlson, a fundamentalist Christian who claims with a straight face that he was attacked in his sleep by a literal demon.
I’m sure you will pull together enough support to stop Israel and their fascist designs, on america not just their own area, by working with the ones deemed pure enough
As far as purity tests go, “do you think that all Jewish people are secretly plotting against white Christians” is pretty damn entry level…
But you aren’t pure enough either by the same people that manipulated you into rejecting allies for lack of purity.
Nope. There you go again. I embrace anti-zionism while rejecting antisemitism and other bigotry. That REALLY shouldn’t be so hard to understand.
Grow the fuck up and look past your fucking hand, both hands, including the one stroking yourself off furiously about your moral superiority.
Wow, the projection is strong with this one 🤦
If we listen to you, we lose
Right back at you, buddy!
He is not the one who exposed those connections, what a joke.
Tucker shifted when the wind changed; don’t give him more credit than he deserves. This is a guy that sells stories about demons and he’s never exposed a crime in his life.
That said nobody is rooting for Israel here. So its unclear who you think needs to hear what you’re saying but its not anyone here.
Tucker is a guy who selectively edited out kanye west saying some abominable shit in an attempt to gaslight viewers into thinking kanye wasn’t celebrating hitler. There’s a good chance he just straight up broke some laws and let a holocaust joke fly or something.
he’s never exposed a crime in his life.
Oh come on he talks a lot about all the crimes that the bidens and Obamas did do/are currently doing. You know all the crimes, the crimes he keeps just calling crimes and never enumerating or identifying specifically. Those crimes that surely did really super doper did happen.
Also this laugh: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=u6gvuaeMHyc
Fucker Carlson is not a journalist.
Legally he’s an entertainer.
entertainera polemicist at my most generous.A Faux Nooz man.
and a white nationalist, which is why he’s speaking out against Isreal.
“It was bizarre. We’re now out of the country.”
Booooooooo
I mean, he’s a journalist in the same way Josef Mengele is a doctor.
Mengele was a promovendus, so could legally be called a doctor.
Tucker couldn’t finish an education and then fake at journalism too.
he decided to pursue a career in journalism with the encouragement of his father, who advised him that “they’ll take anybody”
If you had a dollar for every journalist who flunked out of college, you’d be Vanderbilt rich.
Fair.
As if that title offers any privileges these days
He’s an American Citizen that came out against the worst people in the world, Israel and their alllies. Now in their power.
I liked the Breaking News about Kid Rock’s financial woes. Tucker and Kid can both eat poop, lousy racist bastards.
Where was that?
Eh who cares. Im just happy knowing it happened
So much for evil recognizing evil.
You can’t have two evils. They’ll just fight each other for dominance.
Or they didn’t find him evil enough.
He called out Epstein as an Israeli honeypot, told his viewers they were blackmailing people to further their interests. Also I believe Kirk’s killing, Israel and their allies were involved, which is true also, he came out about that.
So I wouldn’t be so quick to concentrate on his negatives but we are dumb as shit and without leaders so naturally we let organized interests lead us to spend our time criticizing the people that came out against our leaders for lack of purity, and not work with them against those leaders, that are winning.
Tucker Carlson is the rich boy heir to the Swans corporation and spends his time sucking Putin’s dick on Fox News. The entire Hydroxychloroquine scam originated on his show, he brought in a crypto scammer to push a fake study and then Trump parroted it to the nation causing not only a shortage of the drug for people with Lupus but countless studies and investments of public funding to stockpile something that proved to INCREASE FATALITY when used to treat covid.
Going solely by the numbers, Tucker might have actually hurt or killed many more people than Epstein.
theres a master and a servant. Tucker is a member of the servant group (along with every other American) and will be treated accordingly. It doesnt matter so much if he’s left or right wing. The Israelis couldnt care less what political groups the livestock align themselves as-- why should they care? They bought both parties.
Back in my day detaining an American citizen on BS charges was a big deal. Now its a bit of a joke and our government does whatever israel wants anyway. Even though I dont wish Tucker Carlson well, clearly israel knows they can cuck us all on the world stage, while also running the Epstein operation, and we’ll do nothing beyond sending them more money and bombs-- and throw them red carpet heroes welcomes when they come visit.
TUCKer, CANDACE and others have been pretty antisemtic towards israel for a while.
being against israel does not = being antisemtic, and your manipulatively suggesting it does is pretty low. Beyond all the genocide and murder and a long list of other crimes, Israel and its supporters are also hated for lying and manipulation like you just tried. Do you understand that?
Why do you think Trump would care about this ‘journalist’ any more than he did the other journalist, when the other party is giving him money and/or power?
Tucker
sucks Donny’s cocksays nice things about trump.Plenty of people Trump has thrown under the bus have said nice things before then. All he cares about is himself and money. The second anyone gets between him and money (or power, which leads to money), under they go.
Definitely don’t torture him until he tells you all the things Trump confides in him before bedtime.
Don’t get our hopes up! This is Israel after all.
Better Tucker than a Palestinian.
Who’s “just asking questions” now motherfucker?
People celebrating this are engaging in the same dumbass tribalist mentality as the MAGA lot.
Eh. We’re not perfect.
We have dreams too
So it’s somehow bad now to want bad things to happen to bad people? Color me a MAGAt then.
No, it’s more that it’s dumb to not take a breath and discuss why this is happening. Tucker may have hit a nerve, like him or not.
If he hit a nerve it was by platforming actual antisemitism, which only serves to further muddy the waters amid all the bad-faith accusations of antisemitism towards anyone who thinks a genocidal government regime is, like, not a good thing.
I really don’t think there is any common cause to be found with a fellow like this, and the most likely outcome of this detention is that he will probably abruptly change his tune on Israel. And he may have some light internal bleeding.
We know why this happened though. America, under Trump (and not really corrected under Biden), sold off their soft power, allowing other countries to walk all over us intentionally. And it’s only going to get worse under further Republican control. Meanwhile, Democrats have taken the mantle of neo-liberalism and neo-conservatism, so unless we suddenly elect an entirely progressive government and start to work towards normalizing foreign relationships, the kidnappings will continue.
Kayfabe is real, people know it is, they engage with it anyway because they want to have fun playing around with stories and narratives and we’ve all learned that we can make our own reality and get some level of social support for it.
I think it’s the irony of seeing fascism take itself out. It’s like seeing two bullies fighting each other and Tucker literally helped build the leopard as well.
I get ya, I’m not celebrating and imo this is bad.
Buuut, in all fairness he chose to go there assuming Israel isn’t the big baddy everyone says they are.
So more like leopards eating faces scenario which imo is justified.
assuming Israel isn’t the big baddy everyone else says they are
Nah, in fact he probably went there hoping Israel would do something like this. Tucker has turned against Israel and has even been making connections with them and Epstein. This will only give him street cred in the rising anti Israel nationalist right.
The enemy of my enemy is unfortunately pretty dumb but sure, I hope some good comes out of his grifts.
Bingo.
Be prepared for a barrage of downvotes tho as team blue is the only correct side to be supporting, according to lemmitors here.
I’m down voting as it seems to be what you expected. lol
Comrade, I’m team red, what are you talking about?
Umm, team not-red is the correct side.
“Men who identified themselves as airport security took our passports, hauled our executive producer into a side room and then demanded to know what we spoke to Ambassador Huckabee about,” Carlson told the Daily Mail in a statement. “It was bizarre. We’re now out of the country.”
