Is Arabophobia and Anti-Palestinianism More Acceptable than Antisemitism?
Not very long ago, when former FOX-News Television Host (or FOX-Television News Host) and Arch-MAGA Propaganda Ideologue Tucker Carlson was virulently accused by Victoria Derbyshire, described by the media as a journalist and a participant and/or member of a BBC-sponsored current affairs talking-heads program, namely, “Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg,” of being rabidly Antisemitic, we are reliably informed that Mr. Carlson vehemently and insistently retorted that he was absolutely not in the least bit Antisemitic; and that, rather, he was only viscerally dead-set against the US foreign policy agenda of “Sending money to a military that murders children,” without any qualms or pang of the conscience” (See “Tucker Carlson Snaps Back at Antisemitism Comments in Fiery Interview” Wonderwall.com / MSN 4/13/26).
We are further informed in the aforereferenced news story that Mr. Carlson promptly added that he found the generous supply of money and munitions to the Israeli Government of Prime Minister Benjamin “Mileikowsky” Netanyahu to be “a little bit more significant [by way of] a moral crime than merely saying ugly things [or making such nasty comments and remarks as have been attributed to] Mr. Nicholas “Nick” Joseph Fuentes,” the 27-year-old Far-Right [or Ultra-Racist and Fascist] political commentator, live streamer and influencer,” as garishly and flamboyantly posted as part of his Wikipedia biographical notes of highlights.
Maybe some of Mr. Carlson’s close associates and friends, as well as his colleagues and relatives ought to have promptly and poignantly reminded the sometime “bowtied” and much younger political commentator on the globally televised Cable News Network (CNN) current affairs program, “Crossfire,” if memory serves Yours Truly accurately, ought to have reminded the nonchalant and flagrantly cavalier staunch Trump ally and “Replacement Theory” propagandist that the Hitler-led and vigorously championed Holocaust or Antisemitic Genocide began with the “saying of ugly things” well before the generous “Sending of money to the Nazi SS Killing Machine” that reportedly slaughtered in excess of 6-Million Jews and members of other European residents and nationalities for the dozen, or so, years spanning between 1932 and 1945.
Which, of course, clearly points to the unarguable fact that when it comes to how bestial pogroms of the kind that erupted during the aforementioned period, Mr. Carlson and his genocide-mongering Replace-Theory Scumbags have absolutely no critical and/or remarkable sense of what they are talking about. To be certain, middle-aged chuckleheads like the burly man who only recently came to a sobering realization of the all-too-obvious fact that, in fact, he had been blindly supporting the inexcusably ungodly and morally blasphemous iconoclastic agenda of President Donald John Trump-led Slavocratic and Neo-Nazi Ideology of Make America Great Again (MAGA).
Yes, it was not until recently when the Half-Scottish and Half-Bavarian-descended putative clinical cranial basket case began seeing his own mirror-image reflected in the the personage or the divine attributes of Jesus Christ of Nazareth/Bethlehem that Mr. Carlson partially appeared to be regaining a diddly modicum of the proper and the positive use of his hitherto criminally vegetating cranial faculties. But what the present author really wanted to highlight here is the oxymoronic coupling of the patently lunatic “Theory of Racial and/or Ethnic Replacement,” right here in the United States of America, with Mr. Carlson’s rather scandalous inability to critically and specifically juxtapose the Neo-Nazi treatment of Palestinian Arabs by President Donald John Trump and Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin “Mileikowsky” Netanyahu with his own strikingly similar version of his own.
Now, nobody really needs to tell Mr. Carlson that when the 80-year-old President Donald John Trump gleefully and sadistically instructs his 76-year-old identical twin ideological younger brother to “finish the job” of savagely exterminating Arab-descended Palestinian citizens and inhabitants on both the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, one can be unarguably certain within the context of Nazi History that practically speaking, there is absolutely no remarkable distinction between the globally immortalized “Devil Incarnate” (Diablo/Diabolus) and these Two Musketeers. But that a craven draft-dodging Mr. Trump would so cavalierly and scandalously become so bloodthirsty in the manner of the filmographical Dracula, is all the more to be pitied and ineffably rebuked.
You see, the morally and the intellectually cretinous Theory of Replacement is strikingly undergirded by the same ideological mindset as that which serves as the primary motivating factor of the sort of Zionism predicated on “Nazi Purism” and Ethno-Cultural Apartheid of the kind so brutally and barbarically operated by the Hitler-ledThird Reich and the Boer-Afrikaner operated National Party of South Africa from 1948 to 1990. The Ideology of Ethno-Racial Replacement counsels that in order for European-descended Americans to continue to perennially dominate the politics and the economic superstructure of the United States of America, literally, in perpetuity, the population of Non-Whites in the United States needs to be drastically reduced to the barest minimum at all costs by every means necessary.
This psychologically morbid ideology is clearly predicated on a retributive Darwinian fear of “Historical Revenge” for the kind of wanton and the unspeakably bestial and the genocidal atrocities perpetrated by these European-descended yesteryear’s invaders of the then so-called New World. Ultimately, what we have here strikingly approximates what African American Human and Civil Rights Spearhead and Muslim Cleric El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, much better globally known as Malcom X, metaphorically likened to “Poetic Justice” in Shakespearean parlance, as a sheer matter of the “Chickens Coming Home to Roost.”
