In a move stirring major backlash across political and faith communities, Tucker Carlson hosted far-right figure Nick Fuentes on his online show to discuss “Zionist Jews” and the role of Israel in global politics. During the two-hour exchange, Fuentes, a self-described white nationalist and open antisemite, declared that “Zionist Jews” were the primary problem within conservatism. Carlson, though attempting to distance himself from Fuentes’s rhetoric, appeared sympathetic to aspects of his worldview, signaling a troubling normalization of anti-Israel and antisemitic sentiment on segments of the political right.

The conversation marks a dangerous shift as antisemitic ideologies resurface under the guise of political commentary, echoing the spiritual deception Scripture warns will define the last days (2 Timothy 3:13). With both men wielding influence among millions of followers, their rhetoric risks fueling division and hostility toward Israel — the nation at the center of God’s prophetic plan. As antisemitism becomes increasingly mainstream, Bible prophecy students recognize the rising opposition to Israel as a fulfillment of Zechariah 12:3 — a world turning against Jerusalem before the Lord’s return.
