"As an Israeli, you should pause before using the phrase terror regime,' since you live in a country that just murdered thousands of children in Gaza, Carlson said. We should all pull back a little bit on the rhetoric like that. I'm not defending Iran, but I'm just saying terror regime,' it's a little hard to hear that from an Israeli right now, I have to say."
"Segal told him, while facing both palms upward. You think that Israel and Iran is in the same equation, really? I don't think Israel and Iran are the same by many measures, Carlson said. The two broadcasters then started talking over each other for a moment. That is what [you're] saying! Segal said."
"Segal said it was obvious Carlson wanted him to equate a democratic government that's acting maybe not to your taste but from self-defense, to a terror regime in Iran that is terrorizing its own citizens, that [is] hanging gay people from cranes with Islamic extremist sharia. It's ridiculous, Segal told him, while facing both palms upward."
"Segal was referring to critics saying Carlson has been obsessed with Israel in recent years, and especially since the Iran war started. Carlson has said Israel is in charge of President Donald Trump and that the Iran war was being waged strictly on behalf of Israel. Trump has pushed back on those claims, saying if anything, I might've forced Israel's hand. I'm not targeting anybody, I don't have a military, I'm a podcaster. So I don't target people,"
Tucker Carlson and Udi Segal had a heated exchange on Israeli TV after Carlson suggested Israel functioned as a terror regime that had murdered thousands of Palestinian children. Carlson criticized Segal for using the phrase “Iran terror regime,” arguing that an Israeli should pause because Israel had killed many children in Gaza. Segal responded that Carlson wanted him to equate Israel’s democratic self-defense with Iran’s terrorizing of its own citizens, including references to Islamic extremist sharia punishments. Segal said the comparison was ridiculous and accused Carlson of only targeting Israel. Carlson denied targeting anyone and said he is a podcaster rather than a military actor. The exchange also referenced Carlson’s claims about Israel’s influence on Donald Trump and Trump’s rebuttal that he may have forced Israel’s hand.
