Demonizing the Jews is one of the oldest tricks in the bag. In the early Middle Ages, the accusations against the Jews of Europe started to erupt, and in the first quarter of the 21st century, they haven’t stopped.
Justin Martyr accused us of being Christ killers in “Dialogue with Tripho”, as early as A.D. 160. John Chrysostom might very well be the poster child for early Christian antisemitism. In his work Adversus Judaeos (387), he describes the Jews as “lucious, rapacious, greedy, destroyers, demon-possessed and assassins of Christ.” Then came the ritual murder libel of 1141, when Jews were suddenly accused of using Christian blood to make matzoh for Passover, followed by the accusation of piercing communion wafers to re-enact the crucifixion as early as 1243. The black Plague of 1346-53 brought a new accusation about the Jews poisoning the wells of Europe.
This demonizing goes on and on throughout history, without ceasing and constantly finding new creative ways to target the people “responsible” for all the ills of the world; The Jews! This is not foreign to us, but will we ever get used to it? NO!
Demonizing is one of the three Ds of antisemitism as defined by Natan Sharansky: Demonizing, Delegitimizing, and Double Standards. It is used to ostracize and stigmatize all Jews, and it usually stems from either hatred or jealousy. It can also be argued that jealousy breeds hatred that eventually leads to demonization as a means to eradicate the source of the perceived problem. If the Jew-haters of the world can convince those around them that Jews are the problem, then the anti-Jewish global posse can grow, and a massive pogrom could ensue.
Jealous Of The Jews?
Jealousy is born in the human heart when we notice something that we want, do not have, and believe we deserve. The bigger house, the corner office, the new car; all these can make one jealous of neighbors or co-workers, but why be jealous of the Jews? For this, we have to go back to Genesis 12, where it all started.
God made a promise to Abram that still stands today and forever in Genesis 12:1-3, “Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go forth from your country, And from your relatives And from your father’s house, To the land which I will show you; And I will make you a great nation, And I will bless you, And make your name great; And so you shall be a blessing; And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.’”
The Jewish people were promised to become a great nation, be blessed, have their name blessed and be a blessing to the whole world. Without going through a long list, there is ample evidence that diaspora Jews and Israel have been contributing to the betterment of the world for quite a while. God has blessed the Jewish people with shrewd business skills and a sense for innovation second to none. The results have been a positive global ripple effect, starting with the Abrahamic Covenant of Genesis 12. Over the ages, this has made people jealous of the Jews, and it continues into the 21st century.
When jealousy sets in, if it takes root and grows, it leads to bitterness and resentment, and that is when the human heart becomes angry and hateful against Israel and the Jews. Hatred against the Jews—no matter how irrational it might be—is antisemitism and can also be hidden under the cloak of hypocritical anti-Zionism. Demonizing the Jews becomes a great option to push them to the fringe of society or even worse, over the cliff of humanity. This is exactly where we are in 2026. It is very concerning, and YES, Tucker Carlson has become one of the main perpetrators.
Tucker Carlson
He is at it again with more lies about Israel and the Jews. The demonizing continues. This time, he claims that an orthodox Jewish sect known as Chabad-Lubavitch started the Iran war (and pulled the USA into it) because Chabad wants to usher in the building of the Third Temple in Jerusalem. There is nothing belligerent about Chabadniks; they are the opposite of warmongers. They usually are very community-oriented and focused on good deeds and outreach to bring Jewish people back to Hashem (God). Chabad has no interest in starting a war with anyone. Tucker added that they started the war because they wanted to see the Third Temple being built.
Insurrection Barbie (obviously a pseudonym) wrote, “Tucker’s most recent episode, from March 5, 2026, asks whether the Iran conflict is ‘a religious war designed to rebuild the Third Temple on the ashes of Al Aqsa.‘ He accused the Chabad Lubavitch movement of driving the war, saying, ‘Christians have a way of dying disproportionately in these wars, which tells you something about their real motives.’ He misattributed Temple Institute patches worn by IDF soldiers to Chabad as supposed evidence.”
Tucker Carlson is currently looking for anything he can blame Israel and the Jews for. That is the epitome of demonization. Unbeknownst to most, he and Candace Owens are taking their cues from dangerous Russian mystic, occultist, and philosopher Aleksandr Dugin (also known as Putin’s Rasputin or Putin’s Brain). Dugin stated about the Jewish people, “they have only one step left – to blow up the Al-Aqsa mosque and proceed to the construction of the Third Temple. By the way, the Knesset has already allocated funds for research on the Temple Mount – everything is moving in this direction.” Does that ring a bell?
Dugin added, “Zionism is Jewish Satanism, Satanism within Judaism, turning over all the basics. If in Judaism one has to wait for the coming of the Messiah, then in Zionism, a Jew is already a god. Further – violations of the Talmudic commandments.”
Tucker finally found his mentor, and Satan is rejoicing!
The Third Temple
Now, the Third Temple is a real thing and will be rebuilt in the future in Jerusalem. As a matter of fact, there is an organization known as The Temple Institute in Jerusalem’s Old City that promotes the rebuilding of the Third Temple. They have manufactured all the original implements, utensils, and garments; they are training priests and Levites and are only waiting for the ashes of a red heifer to be mixed with water to purify it and consecrate the next High Priest. From a biblical perspective, that Temple is also known as the Tribulation Temple and will be rebuilt only to be desecrated by the Antichrist at the mid-point of the seven-year Tribulation (The Time of Jacob’s Trouble), also known as the “Abomination of Desolation.”
This is part of the prophetic future that evangelical believers adhere to, but it is not done as a result of a war with Iran, but as a result of a peace treaty with the Antichrist (Daniel 9). Israel will sign a treaty with the Antichrist, promising peace in the Middle East and guaranteeing the safe rebuilding of the Third Temple. A false peace will settle in, and the whole world will be amazed, not knowing that it is false and temporary. That edifice is found in Revelation 11:1-2, “Then there was given me a measuring rod like a staff; and someone said, “Get up and measure the temple of God and the altar, and those who worship in it. Leave out the court which is outside the temple and do not measure it, for it has been given to the nations; and they will tread under foot the holy city for forty-two months.” That is the unchanging biblical truth, coming to us all maybe sooner than we realize
Tucker constantly mixes ignorance, lies, and half-truths, then feeds them to a world no longer relying on facts. The vast majority of the people who appreciated Tucker when he upheld Judeo-Christian values are somehow still defending this pseudo-conservative pundit, but how much longer will he fool them? It is starting to look like Tucker is running on the fumes of his conservative reputation—and a little bit of the occult to make it more interesting. Christians beware!
True believers do not delegitimize Israel. True believers do not apply double standards. True believers do not demonize the Jewish people. Why? Because we take the Bible seriously and literally. If God loves Israel and the Jews like He says he does, so should we, lest we conspire against God Himself
“For they have conspired together with one mind; Against You they make a covenant” (Psalm 83:5).
