Overview
- Likud MK Dan Illouz delivered an English-language address from the Knesset calling on U.S. conservatives to reject Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens.
- He said they "sell poison as patriotism," compared their rhetoric to the "woke left," and cautioned that embracing it would be "civilizational suicide."
- Illouz framed his remarks as defending the U.S.–Israel alliance, labeling the commentators a threat to America as well as to Israel while dismissing claims of interference in U.S. politics.
- He posted video of the speech to social media, drawing fresh attention as 2025 studies highlighted increased anti-Israel and antisemitic content linked to both figures.
- Recent coverage details examples cited by critics, including Carlson using antisemitic tropes against Ben Shapiro and Owens promoting antisemitic texts and conspiracy theories.
