To Tucker Carlson: Stop Using God’s Name to Curse the Jews

To Tucker Carlson and Every Bible-Quoting Antisemite: Stop Using God’s Name to Curse the Jews

There is something especially vile about using the language of faith to sanctify hatred. It is evil enough to slander the Jewish people. It is worse to do it while quoting Scripture, invoking Christianity, and posturing as a defender of biblical truth. That is not conviction. It is blasphemous hypocrisy.

So this needs to be said without euphemism to Tucker Carlson and every other Bible-thumping antisemite hiding behind piety: the God you keep talking about has already spoken about this. And His warning is not ambiguous.

“I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse.”

That is the promise God made to Abraham. Not to your audience. Not to your movement. To Abraham. And to his offspring. The Jewish people are not an inconvenience in the biblical story. They are at the heart of it. The covenant runs through them. The prophets came through them. The Scriptures came through them. And for Christians, even the Messiah came through them.

So let us be perfectly clear: you do not get to claim Abraham’s God — or the Son of God — while reviling Abraham’s children.

You do not get to wrap yourself in the Bible while sneering at the people who gave the world the Bible.

You do not get to praise Jesus while echoing hatred toward the people from whom Jesus came.

And you do not get to call yourself brave for recycling filth that has followed the Jewish people for centuries.

Modern antisemitism rarely has the courage to speak its own name. It slithers. It smirks. It insinuates. It hides behind “questions,” behind “concerns,” behind dark mutterings about elites, influence, money, media, foreign loyalties, and civilizational decay. It pretends to be bold dissent when it is really the same old cowardice: stirring suspicion against Jews while keeping the language just polished enough for plausible deniability.

But everyone knows what it is.

When Jews are singled out as uniquely corrupting, uniquely suspect, uniquely dangerous, it is antisemitism.

When ancient conspiracies are repackaged for a new audience, it is antisemitism.

When a public figure feeds an audience’s appetite for resentment by pointing them, again and again, toward Jews, it is antisemitism.

And when that is done by someone affecting biblical seriousness, the offense is not only political or cultural. It is spiritual. It is an act of rebellion dressed up as righteousness.

There is also something absurd about Christians indulging this poison. The patriarchs were Jews. The prophets were Jews. The apostles were Jews. The first believers were Jews. Jesus was born a Jew, lived as a Jew, died among Jews, and fulfilled promises given to the Jewish people. Yet somehow there are men who imagine they can profess loyalty to Christ while teaching contempt for the people through whom God unfolded the story of redemption. That is not fidelity to Christianity. It is a grotesque parody of it.

And spare us the evasions. Yes, governments can be criticized. Yes, Israel can be criticized. Yes, political arguments are legitimate. But this game of hiding animus behind “I’m just criticizing Israel” fools fewer people by the day. When the criticism becomes obsessive, when the standards become unique, when Jewish suffering is mocked or minimized, when every conflict somehow circles back to Jewish manipulation, the mask slips. What stands exposed is not principled critique. It is hatred.

And hatred has consequences.

The men who peddle this poison may enjoy ratings, applause, wealth, influence, and the intoxicating thrill of being called fearless. They may convince themselves they are prophets, truth-tellers, dissidents, men too honest for polite society. But God is not impressed by performance. He is not deceived by branding. He is not flattered by people who use His name while cursing those He chose.

The biblical warning remains what it has always been: those who bless Abraham’s offspring will be blessed, and those who curse them will be cursed.

That should terrify anyone who still possesses a functioning conscience.

Because the Jewish people have buried the victims of this hatred too many times already. They have heard too many polished voices explain why the animus aimed at them is really just realism, or patriotism, or theology, or courage. They have seen too many “serious” men prepare the ground for contempt and then recoil in feigned innocence when the rot spreads.

Enough.

The time for polite throat-clearing is over. Anyone using Christian language, biblical imagery, or reverent talk about God to stir hostility toward Jews should be denounced for what he is doing. He is not defending the faith. He is desecrating it. He is not honoring Scripture. He is weaponizing it. He is not speaking for God. He is daring God to judge him.

So here is the truth Tucker Carlson and others like him need to hear: if you curse the children of Abraham, do not imagine that quoting Abraham’s God will save you.

It will not.

Genesis still says what it says. God still means what He says. And no amount of smugness, ratings, or pseudo-Christian posing will soften the curse on those who delight in cursing the Jews.
