Bulletin N°62 2026 About an interview that sheds light on everything
Tucker Carlson is a renowned US journalist and former star anchor of Fox News, clearly aligned with the conservative camp. A supporter of Trump at the beginning of his current term, he is now among those who have distanced themselves from him, within the Republican camp. His vision is of a US state that revitalizes itself, tackles deindustrialization, and works for peace, even if it means relinquishing its role as the world's policeman; it is also a vision of a US state that severs all ties with Zionists.
Tucker Carlson recently interviewed Mike Huckabee, the US ambassador to the Zionist colonial state and a self-proclaimed "Christian Zionist." This interview is of great interest because it reveals important truths from Huckabee, exposing the Trump administration's position and debunking the lies of Zionist propaganda. Carlson, like Huckabee, is deeply religious, but he focuses on deciphering the rights of settlers of European origin to occupy Palestinian lands and, above all, the nature of the rights they claim.
Carlson first seeks to determine the origin of this "right".
Carlson : " This raises two questions that I think are really important, and I hope you will answer them. The first is: where does this right come from? "
Huckabee: “ I would say it essentially comes from the Bible, but it also comes from a long series of historical precedents going back to the Balfour Declaration of 1917. It comes from the League of Nations in 1927. It comes from the United Nations in 1947, from the Declaration of Independence of the State of Israel in May 1948. After that declaration, Israel was immediately attacked. It won the war. It was attacked again in 1956, and once again won the war. It was attacked in 1967 by five countries: same thing. Likewise in 1973 during the Yom Kippur War. ” […]
Carlson : " Is a country's right to exist a principle that applies only to Israel, or to everyone? "
Huckabee: “ I think it applies specifically to Israel. It applies to anyone who can prove they have a connection to the land, a connection to history, and a connection to international law. But Israel, I think, has an extraordinary connection… […] So, if I believe the Old and New Testaments, I believe a specific call to the Jewish people began with Abraham: he called them out of what is now modern-day Iraq, saying, ‘Come where I am sending you.’” […]
Carlson: “ I’m not going to let you get away with that, because you’ve said three times that God gave this land to this people. So it’s perfectly legitimate for me to ask you: what land are you talking about? I’ve just read Genesis 15, and this land, I believe, stretches from the Nile to the Euphrates, which is, again, practically the entire Middle East. So God either gave this land to his people, the Jews, or he didn’t. You say he did. What does that mean? Does Israel have a right to this land? You’re referring to Genesis. You say that’s the original act, so what’s your answer to that? ”
Huckabee: " It would be nice if they took everything. "
For Huckabee, the settlers' right is therefore essentially biblical. He can calmly explain that an imaginary being called "God" gave the land in question to the Jews, which at this point in the interview seems to mean the Hebrews. But his biblical vision is challenged by Carlson, who leads him to acknowledge that it would be legitimate for the Zionist colonial state to extend from the Nile to the Euphrates.
Next, Carlson focuses on legitimacy. Even admitting the right Huckabee speaks of, he insists, since the other does not answer, on whether the European settlers are indeed descendants of the Hebrews.
Carlson : "The second question is just as urgent: who are the descendants? We know that God promised this land, from present-day Iraq to present-day Egypt, to the Jewish people, to the descendants of Abraham, as Genesis 15 says. Who are his descendants today, and how do we know who they are? "
Huckabee: " I think it's the Jews, and we know who they are because they have always been a Jewish people. " […]
Carlson: “ My question is this, and it’s not a stock question. How do we know who the Jews are? Because what you’re saying is that certain people have a title to a highly contested area. They own it in a profound sense. So I think it’s legitimate to ask: who are they, and how do we know? The ancestors of the current prime minister were not from Israel, according to historical records. Netanyahu doesn’t have a title to the land: his family is from Poland, from Eastern Europe. How do we know that he has a connection to the people to whom God promised the land, the descendants of Abraham? ”
Huckabee: " How do we know? Well, if you take the genealogies that come not only from the Old Testament, but also from the New Testament, you see that there is a historical link, throughout the Old and New Testaments, which details the connection of the Jews to this land. "
Carlson: " How can we know if Netanyahu is related to… "
Huckabee: " The people have been scattered. "
Carlson: " But are we really talking about the same people? "
The scenario is clear: Carlson has to try several times to ask the question, but Huckabee pretends not to understand and answers beside the point.
Next, Carlson takes his argument further by mentioning genetic testing. As we will see, Huckabee is caught off guard once again.
Carlson: " It is the descendants of Abraham who have the right to this land, is it not? "
Huckabee: " Yes. "
Carlson: " Why not do genetic testing on everyone in the area to find out who Abraham's descendants are? It's very simple. We've deciphered the human genome. We can do it. Why aren't we doing it? Would you be against this idea? "
Huckabee: " I don't see what that would prove. "
Carlson: " What do you mean? This would prove who Abraham's descendants are, who has the right to live here, according to the theology you yourself just explained. So I don't quite understand why we don't do it if you believe in the theology you just explained to me. Would we do it everywhere in the world? "
From then on, Carlson clarifies his point by relying on the specific case of Netanyahu.
Carlson: " Yet we know that Netanyahu's family lived in Eastern Europe. There is no evidence that they never lived here. He is not religious. We don't have his family tree. Nobody does. That's the problem. "
Huckabee: " If there was a practice of Judaism and a connection with the language, the Bible, the land... "
Carlson: " But Netanyahu's ancestors don't have that connection, and he doesn't practice Judaism rigorously. His ancestors didn't live in Israel. They didn't speak the language, and there's no proof that they ever lived here. So, on what basis does he have the right to be here? "
Huckabee: " He speaks the language very well. He fought for this land. "
Carlson: " You're dodging a very obvious question: where does this right come from? The reason this question arises is that there are many people in the territory now controlled by Israel, particularly in the West Bank, whose genetic testing tells us that their families have been here for thousands of years. We don't know if they practiced Judaism, if they were Samaritans, pre-Islamic. We don't know. We do know that many of them have been Christians for 2,000 years. They have more right to this land than someone like Netanyahu, whose ancestors lived in Latvia or Poland. They are from Eastern Europe. "
Huckabee: " They are Jewish. "
Carlson: " According to what definition? But how do we know they have a connection to the Jewish people? "
Huckabee: " They are Jewish by their faith. They are Jewish by their connection to the language, by their connection to the Torah. "
Carlson: " But how do we know that Netanyahu's ancestors ever lived that way? "
Huckabee: " I am completely unable to understand what you are saying. "
Huckabee's conception of Zionist rights, as we see, rests both on ethnicity (the so-called Jewish people descended from the Hebrews) and on the link to religion (language and Torah). We are therefore dealing with something entirely irrational, postulating that a converted Jew from Europe would have more rights to the land in Palestine than the Palestinians who have lived there for millennia. "Because they are Jewish" is Huckabee's trump card, his repetitive answer to everything.
Huckabee goes beyond the arguments of some Zionists, but repeatedly fails to answer Tucker Carlson's questions. For instance, he systematically evades Carlson's questions about the fact that those who created the Zionist colonial state were atheists. Furthermore, he never uses the term "anti-Semitism" and simply claims that: " A Zionist is simply someone who believes that Israel has the right to exist. " This definition is particularly clarifying regarding both the purpose of the Yadan Law and the ambiguous positions of those who claim to defend Palestine while simultaneously accepting the existence of the Zionist colonial state.
American citizens have reason to question such an ambassador, who seems to defend the country where he serves more than the one that appointed him. Here we have a thorough dismantling and exposure of Zionist propaganda. The section on Greater Israel (from the Nile to the Euphrates) provoked an outcry among Arab and Muslim governments. But ultimately, it's rather anecdotal. The key point of this interview is that nothing justifies the theft of Palestinian land and homes by European settlers, nor the Zionist colonial state. Even if people like Huckabee firmly believe the entire narrative of Zionist propaganda, it doesn't change the fact that the leaders of the Zionist entity used it without truly believing in it. Let's remember Ben-Gurion: " God does not exist, but he gave us land. "
News from the prisons of the Zionist colonial state
The Martyrs, Prisoners and Wounded Office of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine declared the conditions of detention of Palestinian prisoners in Nafha now unjustifiable, regardless of the pretext invoked.
The Office stated in a press release issued on Monday, February 23, 2026, that reports of a rapid deterioration in the prisoners' health, dangerous weight loss, and suffocating overcrowding depriving them of their most basic needs reveal a shocking reality that goes beyond mere neglect and amounts to a systematic policy violating the right to life and physical security.
The press release considers the persistent denial of adequate medical care and proper nutrition a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and international standards for the treatment of prisoners, thus placing the Israeli prison administration under an inalienable legal and moral responsibility.
The press release considers the persistent denial of adequate medical care and proper nutrition a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and international standards for the treatment of prisoners, thus placing the Israeli prison administration under an inalienable legal and moral responsibility.
The statement holds the prison administration and the leaders of the Zionist occupation fully and directly responsible for any deterioration in the health or any danger to the life of a prisoner, and emphasizes that the silence or inaction of the international community effectively contributes to perpetuating this suffering. Consequently, the office calls for immediate and urgent action, including the prompt and unrestricted deployment of independent medical commissions, the cessation of any procedures that lead to prison overcrowding or worsen the health situation, and demands that food and healthcare be provided without delay in accordance with international standards.
In conclusion
Everywhere, against the criminalization of anti-colonialism, in defense of truth and the national liberation of Palestine, one will find the militants of the Revolutionary Communist Party. Barricades have only two sides, as Elsa Triolet said: the national liberation of Palestine or submission, in one way or another, to the colonial order.
Regarding the Revolutionary Communist Party, the struggle of the Palestinian Resistance, which directly confronts the vanguard of Western imperialism, is vital for the proletariat of the entire planet; the Palestinians are a people who are actors in their own history, fighting against Zionism, imperialism and reaction, for their national liberation, a long struggle whose centrality and strategic nature for our own emancipation we must recognize.
The Zionist colonial state will fall, that is the direction of history; and Palestine will be free from the sea to the Jordan!
