Tucker Carlson's strange statement: 'In Israel, they avoid the plus sign because it resembles a cross'
Carlson made the claim on his podcast, where he criticizes Israel's attitude toward Christian symbols. Carlson called on Christians in the United States to pay attention to the American administration's policy toward Israel.
American journalist and political commentator Tucker Carlson, known for his sharp criticism of Israel, sparked another scandal last week, this time concerning its attitude toward Christian symbols, claiming that schools in Israel avoid using the plus sign because it resembles a Christian cross. Carlson made the claim on his podcast, which dealt with the scope of American support for Israel, and called on Christians in the United States to pay attention to how the American administration's funds are being directed. "Christians in the United States should know what they are funding," Carlson claimed.
Carlson's video was circulated on social media and sparked a wave of reactions, with many providing evidence that Israel does indeed use the plus sign in educational settings, alongside posts that repeated Carlson's words during discussions about Israel, Christianity, and U.S. foreign policy. The storm comes against the backdrop of Carlson's growing criticism of American support for Israel and his claims that American Christians should re-examine U.S. involvement in Middle East conflicts.
Just last February, footage was revealed showing Carlson at an airport in Israel, after he claimed he had been detained by Israeli border control. In the footage, Carlson is seen signing a document and posing for a photo while hugging a person who works at the airport.
