Tucker Carlson named ‘Antisemite of the Year’ for opposing Israel’s genocide in Gaza

The pro-Israel advocacy group StopAntisemitism named political commentator Tucker Carlson its “Antisemite of the Year” for his opposition to Israel's war in Gaza. Carlson was cited for his criticism of the war, which he has called a genocide, and for denouncing the political influence of pro-Israel lobbying groups like AIPAC in Washington. He has also accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of boasting about his leverage over US leaders and has described Christian Zionism as a major threat. The group StopAntisemitism has been explicit about its strategy of punishing critics of Israel as a means to combat antisemitism.
