"Kelly reportedly argued that figures like Shapiro and Weiss are actually fueling the rise of antisemitism through their attempts to censor criticism of Israel. They are making antisemites, she asserted. Tucker is not making antisemites. They are. The ADL contested both the truth and morality of her comments. Megyn Kelly's recent comments cross a dangerous line. Accusing Jews of making antisemites' blames Jewish people for the hate directed against thema classic victim-blaming trope, the organization argued in a post on X."
"This accusation also in no way excuses the rhetoric of Tucker Carlson who has been spreading antisemitic conspiracy theories for years and as recently as this past weekend, it continued in a reference to Carlson's comments about the USS Liberty, an American naval ship that was mistakenly attacked by Israeli forces in 1967. Moreover, calling Ben Shapiro Israel first' invokes the age-old antisemitic dual loyalty trope that has fueled persecution and hatred against Jews for centuries. ADL has documented time and again how this kind of rhetoric from public figures helps normalize antisemitism and may even endanger Jewish communities. It must stop now."
Megyn Kelly argued that figures like Ben Shapiro and Bari Weiss are fueling the rise of antisemitism by attempting to censor criticism of Israel and asserted that critics are "making antisemites," not Tucker Carlson. The Anti-Defamation League rejected that claim as both untrue and morally wrong, calling it a dangerous form of victim-blaming that blames Jewish people for hate directed at them. The ADL emphasized that Kelly's comment does not excuse Tucker Carlson's history of antisemitic conspiracy theories, referenced Carlson's USS Liberty remarks, and warned that labeling someone "Israel first" revives dual-loyalty tropes that normalize antisemitism and can endanger Jewish communities.
