Tucker Carlson’s campaign of lies against Israel

The claim made by Tucker Carlson alleging that President Isaac Herzog visited Jeffrey Epstein’s island is an outright lie. The journalist who circulated the allegation later acknowledged that she had not verified the information and admitted that she had fallen victim to AI generated disinformation. The story was fabricated and spread without proper verification and without responsibility.

Falsely accusing the President of the State of Israel is not merely a personal attack. It is part of a broader and deeply troubling pattern of obsessive misinformation directed against the State of Israel itself.

This is not legitimate criticism. It is the deliberate spreading of falsehoods, repeated until millions are persuaded to accept fiction as fact. What we are witnessing is a modern ideological war, a war of narratives and media manipulation.

President Shimon Peres of blessed memory, who served as the International Chairman of the Friends of Zion Heritage Center, warned before the turn of the century that the wars of the 21st century would not only be military. They would be ideological wars, media wars, economic wars, and proxy wars. Those are precisely the battles Israel is fighting today, often against massive global media machines and against billions being poured into social media campaigns by Israel’s enemies.

The real battle is over truth and moral clarity.

Words have consequences. Words can incite hatred. Jews are not murdered because of land. They are murdered because they are Jews. The Jewish community is experiencing one of the most severe waves of antisemitism in modern times, fueled and amplified by relentless lies.

The foundation of Tucker Carlson’s campaign against Israel is built on falsehoods. It is time for those lies to be exposed and for those who spread them to be held accountable.

As it is written, “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.”
