Woke Reich crackpot, Traitor Tucker, has the “real story” behind 10/7, 9/11, WWII, war with Iran, etc.
Unhinged lunatic and bigot.

People love to say Israel, or more specifically Netanyahu, “funded Hamas” because the next step is obvious. Blame Israel for October 7th. And nothing excites Jew-haters more than finding a way to blame Jews for their own massacre.
The reality is far more complicated. There are valid criticisms of Netanyahu, but this idea of a clean cause-and-effect is fiction.
Start with the pressure Israel was under. For years, the international community pushed Israel to keep Gaza’s economy afloat and allow money and goods in. Ask why, and you’ll hear vague talk about a “blockade,” with no mention that the blockade only came after Hamas repeatedly tried to smuggle in rockets and weapons to attack Israeli civilians.
Gaza is not run by Israel. It is run by Hamas, an elected government that has stolen billions in aid, built terror tunnels instead of infrastructure, and kept its own population in poverty while its leadership lives comfortably. When Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005, the opportunity was there. Instead of building, they looted and destroyed the greenhouses that had been left behind.
Israel was boxed in. Cut off aid, and it would be accused of starving Gaza. Allow aid, and it would be accused of propping up Hamas. The working assumption for years was that improving economic conditions might reduce violence. What actually happened is that Hamas built up its capabilities anyway, while Israel was still blamed for everything.
Inside Israel, there was a belief that Hamas preferred stability over escalation, that it would continue low-level attacks but avoid triggering a full-scale war that could threaten its control. Iron Dome reduced casualties, and the outside world demanded restraint. No other country would be expected to absorb thousands of rockets over years and calibrate its response this way. Israel was.
Then October 7 happened. The largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. And even then, the reaction followed a familiar pattern. Arab states issued condemnations while the attacks were still unfolding. Governments and commentators around the world shifted focus to Israel within days. Even the United States was pushing for a ceasefire within months.
Now imagine Israel had launched a full invasion of Gaza before October 7. The same people making these arguments today would have called it unprovoked aggression. It took 1,200 Jews being butchered, raped, and burned alive for parts of the world to briefly acknowledge that Hamas might need to be removed, and even that didn’t last.
Netanyahu made a calculation that Hamas would prioritize survival and power over all-out war. He was wrong. As prime minister, that failure sits with him. But turning that into “he funded Hamas” is a distortion meant to move responsibility away from the people who carried out the attack.
And notably, the same people pushing this line have very little to say about Qatar, which knowingly sent billions to Hamas for its own strategic reasons.
Israel gets the same treatment every time. If it restricts Gaza, it’s accused of collective punishment. If it allows money in, it’s accused of enabling terror. If it responds to attacks, it’s accused of war crimes. If it doesn’t respond, it’s told to absorb it.
And when Jews are massacred, Tucker manages to find a way to blame...the Jews.

He then correctly pointed out that Netanyahu’s corruption case was closing in, and that a war could delay or even permanently prevent the court from convicting him.
because he was not afraid to speak the truth, even if it meant losing Ziønist donors and support.
Now they will start attacking Tucker Carlson, as it was considered forbidden knowledge even to mention that Isræl allowed October 7.
