"Israel dragged us into a war": Tucker Carlson's manifesto against Trump and Jerusalem

Tucker Carlson, the anti-Israel influencer, unveiled a new political manifesto last night that puts him on a direct collision course with President Donald Trump, while pointing an accusatory finger at Israel. According to a report on the Axios website, Carlson claims in the new document that Israel pushed the United States into a war with Iran through "bribery, threats, or both," and even calls for an immediate end to funding for allies that are committing what he claims is "genocide," while explicitly mentioning Jerusalem. In addition, the host defined foreign lobbying in the United States as a form of "slavery."

The manifesto, which includes ten key points, was presented in a live broadcast that received extensive promotion online, and defines the worldview of a breakaway and radical faction within the MAGA movement. This step comes after Carlson promised last month to "help start a third party," and after he hosted conservative activists at his estate in Maine over the weekend who urged him to run for president in 2028. Although Carlson has refrained from an official announcement of a run for now, he presented the manifesto as a basis for a "new political order" that may take various forms in the future.

Beyond the blunt attack on Israel regarding issues of sovereignty and morality, the document published on Axios touches on a series of internal American issues. Carlson demands equality before the law while attacking the corrupt "Epstein class," calls for the restoration of American industry and agriculture, and adopts the health agenda of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. calling for mass sobriety and withdrawal from prescription drugs.

Furthermore, Carlson demands full government transparency, including the disclosure of documents on the Kennedy assassination and the 9/11 attacks, a halt to immigration until the effects of artificial intelligence are clarified, and a radical change in the education system that would focus on human nature and the division of the homeland between men and women.

The intriguing move marks Carlson's transformation into an intellectual and political hub for a small but vocal group of exiles from Trump's movement. This faction accuses the president of abandoning the "America First" policy following the war with Iran, the allegedly failed handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, and giving Israel excessive influence over the domestic and foreign policy of the United States. The group includes, among others, figures like former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and Joe Kent. In response to the publication, the White House dismissed the group and defined it as an "embarrassing collection of whining traitors," while stating that Trump remains the undisputed leader of the Republican Party.

Carlson's Manifesto

1. Fair: A demand for absolute equality before the law. The rules must apply equally to presidents, federal agents, and elites such as Jeffrey Epstein, who according to Carlson represent a "corrupt class" that gets rich at the public's expense.

2. Sovereign: Absolute independence from foreign and corporate influence. In this clause, Carlson claims that Israel dragged the United States into a war with Iran through "bribery, threats, or both," and defines foreign lobbying and usurious loans as a form of slavery.

3. Productive: Restoration of American industry, agriculture, and craftsmanship, while rejecting an economic model controlled by real estate speculation, the arms industry, surveillance, and finance.

4. Beautiful: An attack on urban planners who he claims intentionally "uglified" America. Carlson demands the eradication of phenomena such as brutalist architecture, graffiti, violent crime, and public drug use.

5. Healthy: Adoption of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nutritional doctrine, a demand for "mass sobriety," and sharp criticism of the widespread use of psychiatric drugs, which he says have left Americans "foggy."

6. Honest: Imposing heavy penalties on government officials who lie to citizens, and a demand to disclose most classified documents, including the Kennedy assassination files and the 9/11 attacks.

7. Optimistic: Setting birth rates as a biological imperative and a basis for long-term thinking. Carlson accuses "aging and childless" elites of promoting policies that ignore the nation's future.

8. Wise: Education reform that will focus on understanding the physical world and human nature — including the innate differences between men and women — instead of addiction to screens, degrees, and fleeting technological fashions.

9. Decent: Payment of reparations for the killing of non-combatant civilians, cancellation of Trump's "Department of War" branding, and an end to funding for allies that are committing "genocide," while he explicitly mentions Israel.

10. United: A halt to immigration until the impact of artificial intelligence is clarified, denial of benefits to illegal immigrants, and making English the exclusive language in federal documents and at the ballot box.
