extraordinary interview with Tucker Carlson<\/a>, Mike Huckabee humiliates himself, ties himself in knots, fails to answer basic questions, and makes demonstrably false claims about the number of civilians killed in Gaza. But more than that, he reveals something far more important: how deeply embedded religious extremism and supremacist thinking are within the political architecture that underpins Israel\u2019s actions.<\/p>\nBefore going further, a note.<\/p>\n
There are those who object to citing Tucker Carlson, long associated with the US far right. I profoundly oppose Carlson\u2019s politics. But this is not about platforming him – it is about evidence relating to the worst crime it is possible to commit: genocide.<\/p>\n
This interview is documentary and historical evidence of US complicity in Israel\u2019s genocide of the Palestinian people. We do not discard evidence because we dislike the journalist who obtained it. If anything, it is a damning indictment of Western media that it is left to someone like Tucker Carlson to extract these admissions.<\/p>\n
Had Western media done its job – rigorously holding Western leaders to account – this catastrophe would not have been politically sustainable.<\/p>\n
\n
When Huckabee says it would be \u201cfine\u201d if Israel took the entire Middle East, he is speaking as a hugely powerful Christian fundamentalist who believes the land has been divinely granted.<\/p>\n
Again, this is not some random religious crank on a street corner. This is a senior US official with immense influence in the most powerful country on earth.<\/p>\n
It is worth considering the double standard.<\/p>\n
Islamophobia – open prejudice and hostility toward Muslims – is socially acceptable across much of Western political culture. If a politician in a state hostile to the West invoked Islam to justify aggressive, illegal expansionism, they would be denounced as a dangerous extremist.<\/p>\n
Where are the denunciations of Christian extremism?<\/p>\n
It sounds strange even to say the phrase. That\u2019s the point. We are dealing here with a Christian fundamentalist in a position of enormous global power, and that is barely even remarked on.<\/p>\n
