Right-wing American journalist Tucker Carlson and his staff were reportedly detained in Israel on Wednesday following an interview with an American official.
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.
The US have been detaining people at the border for ages, holding them for hours and looking through their devices. One example was a security researcher, who was traveling to a conference to do a presentation on yet another spying thing that NSA did. After he was held and his devices rummaged through, he was denied entry.
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.
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.
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 😂🤔

Ah, so a Nazi country won’t mistreat a fellow Nazi. I guess that’s not surprising.
Honest question israel first or america first?
first to fall?
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.

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.
