"The two conservative commentators were discussing the Middle East when Knowles mentioned Saint Porphyrius, a Greek Orthodox church in Gaza, which had been damaged by Israeli strikes in October 2023 and in July 2024. I don't understand it. I think it's self-destructive behavior, Carlson said. What I care about is the effect on Christians and that's just not good at all. Knowles, a moment before, said he believed the strike which reportedly killed 18 people, according to Palestinian officials was accidental."
"If you wake up in the morning and decide that your Christian faith requires you to support a foreign government blowing up churches and killing Christians, I think you've lost the thread, Carlson said last year. More recently, in late July, he said those who lobby for Israel are the most vicious people I've ever dealt with. You can watch the full Carlson-Knowles interview via YouTube above; the comments on Israel and the Middle East come around the 1:35:00 minute mark."
Tucker Carlson criticized Israeli military strikes that damaged Christian churches in Gaza and killed several worshippers, calling such actions self-destructive and harmful to Christians. Michael Knowles referenced Saint Porphyrius, a Greek Orthodox church hit in October 2023 and July 2024, and suggested one strike that reportedly killed 18 people was accidental. The Israeli government said it deeply regrets the shelling of Gaza's only Catholic church in July, which killed three people. Carlson has repeatedly criticized Israel and American political support for it since the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack that killed about 1,200 people.
