Antisemitic media personality Tucker Carlson doubled down on his recent ludicrous claims about Chabad-Lubavitch being behind the Iran war. In a “clarification” of his comments, Carlson said that Chabad supports “violence against innocents” and maintained that Chabad is somehow central to the ongoing war with Iran.
Carlson first sparked outrage earlier this week by claiming that Chabad was ultimately behind the military campaign against Iran, arguing that Israel—and by extension the United States—had been pushed into a “religious war” tied to the building of the Bais Hamikdash.
In a follow-up segment some of his supporters claimed was an apology, Carlson largely sidestepped his earlier allegation that Chabad was agitating for the destruction of Islamic holy sites such as Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock.
Instead, he reframed his remarks and insisted that the rebuilding of the so-called “Third Temple” was “at the center” of what he described as a religious war with Iran. Carlson again pointed the finger at Chabad, telling viewers the movement supports rebuilding the temple.
He then escalated the rhetoric, claiming—without evidence—that Chabad supports violence against innocent people.
Carlson’s assertions contradict Chabad’s own teachings.
Chabad’s official educational materials explain that the future rebuilding of the Bais Hamikdash can only occur through divine intervention after the arrival of Moshiach. Chabad literature repeatedly emphasizes that the path toward that spiritual era is through acts of goodness, kindness and religious observance.
“Perform more acts of goodness and kindness,” the organization’s website states explicitly when discussing the concept.
At no point does Chabad advocate violence, war, or the destruction of Islamic holy sites. The idea that Jewish groups seek to demolish the Al-Aqsa Mosque to rebuild the Bais Hamikdash is a long-running conspiracy theory frequently circulated by extremist movements.
Carlson’s rhetoric echoed precisely that narrative.
Carlson’s claims also intersect with the politics surrounding President Donald Trump. Members of Trump’s family—including Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump—have participated in Chabad communities in Washington, D.C. Kushner also played a role in diplomatic efforts preceding last week’s strikes on Iran.
Some observers say Carlson’s attacks are aimed indirectly at Trump’s inner circle – without having to name Trump himself, because Carlson is too much of a coward to do that.

There is NO vaccine for stupidity
Hopefully JD Vance sees through this sick puppy and distances himself from him: seemingly their alliance is too tight for that to happen.
Obama said one thing right that fits this situation.
These people are just broadcasting to their own echo chambers. None of them are in general media convincing anyone of anything. They just circle around to their own insane base until, as often, one snaps.
& as long as ywn & others post hs vids he will continue to do it for clicks.
chabad thinks mashiach already came
Tucker, do you know that Chabad has an ARMY? They actually call it Tzivos Hashem – The Army of G-d! It has generals and officers of various ranks! Do you know that Chabad actually have TANKS? Mitzva Tanks – they sometimes parade them as a show of Jewish strength! These TANKS have special sound weaponry blasting music! Do you know that many of their niggunin/songs are “yay, yay, yay, die die die”? They ACTUALLY say “die, die die” promoting DEATH! Do you know about their secret service, Agent Emes? Undercover intelligence on secret missions comparable to the CIA! How much more evidence do you need?!
CHABAD BETTER NOT RESPOND TO THIS ZEVEL!
It’s not worth it.
At no point does Chabad advocate violence, war, or the destruction of Islamic holy sites. The idea that Jewish groups seek to demolish the Al-Aqsa Mosque to rebuild the Bais Hamikdash is a long-running conspiracy theory frequently circulated by extremist movements.
Of course Chabad, like all Jews, seek to demolish the ????? ???? and all Islamic and Xian “holy sites”. And of course Chabad, like all Jews, seeks to rebuild the Beis Hamikdosh. Anyone who doesn’t seek that is not a believing Jew!
How we seek to do it is another question. Chabad is anti-zionist, and teaches that “we didn’t go into golus by our own will, and we won’t get out of golus on our own power”. ??? ??? ?????? ???????? ????? ?????? ??? ????? ??? ????, ??? ??? ??? ??????? ??????? ????? ????? ??? ????? ????.
Carlson is confusing Chabad with the Daati Leumi/Religious Zionists, whose position is what Carlson is falsely attributing to Chabad.
This man, I mean animanl is totally looney. Besides every frum Jew believes in rebuilding the 3rd Bais Hamikdash we say it 3 times a day and in ???”??
What he says about building third Temple is music to the ears of millions of Baptist Christian’s. They desire that to happen as it means messianic times. They more this is broadcast the more Christian’s support the war against Iran.
The mouth of Ankara and Doha $peaks
Just as believes in his Yushka Pundrik. Why can’t he kive and let live: doesn’t his faith teach that! Or, is he not so faithful after all. Ahhha!
This is sad. First of all, he is not “antisemitic”. He has repeatedly stated that he does not hate Jews and nothing he has stated indicates that he hates Jews.
He is making three points, which could easily be cleared up, rather than just pouring hateful rhetoric on this.
1. He claims that Chabad made uniform patches depicting the third temple, and that some IDF soldiers have received those and are wearing those.
This is either true or false, and could be easily clarified as such.
2. He then extends that to claim that their war against Iran is therefore a religious war whose ultimate aim is to build that third temple.
This is obviously false, for many reasons, and could simply be called out as such.
3. He claims that Chabad “supports “Violence Against Innocents””, and by that he clearly means the Zionists fighting in Gaza.
This is a little trickier, but could still easily be clarified as, no, Chabad does not support any harm to any non-combatant, like all normal people.
Instead of just throwing around false labels, why not just clarify simply?
