There’s a new kind of antisemite in America. He doesn’t wear a swastika. He wears a sports coat. He sips whiskey, quotes Churchill out of context and claims to love Israel—until Israel fights back. His name is Tucker Carlson, and he just exposed the true soul of the MAGA far-right: sanitized, smiling and full of contempt for Jewish sovereignty.
Because what we’re witnessing is the rise of the Power Libel—the 21st-century mutation of the oldest antisemitic accusation. It’s not about blood anymore. It’s about influence. It’s about power. It’s about blaming Jews—individually or collectively, through the symbol of Israel—for the political, cultural and even spiritual decline of a nation. It’s the slander that says, “Israel is dragging us into war,” “Zionists control our politicians,” “Jewish interests corrupted our foreign policy.” It’s not screamed anymore. It’s performed. By pundits with Yale degrees and clean hands.
Carlson doesn’t just criticize Israel—he builds the stage for suspicion. He frames support for Israel as weakness. He suggests that the American public is being manipulated by shadowy forces that are never quite named, but always understood. And most dangerously, he wraps that message in a patriotic aesthetic that makes it palatable to millions of well-meaning people who don’t even know what they’re absorbing. And that’s what makes this moment so dangerous.
The power libel has been around since The Protocols were published in 1903.
ReplyDeleteBottom line: both the extreme right and left hate us for the same reason - they think we have all the power.
"shadowy forces that are never quite named"??? BUT they are named, from Rot-shield scum to Larry Fink, from Henry Morgenthau to Nuland, from Adelson to Hollywood magnates, they are all over the place.
