Scandalous statement by Tucker Carlson: he suggested revoking citizenship from Americans who defended Israel or Ukraine. How this affects the Jewish and Ukrainian diasporas — in the material by NAnews.
Carlson, Israel, Ukraine — and the question of who deserves to be an American
Hot July. Florida. The Turning Point USA conference, where young conservatives and heroes of the American right gather. Tucker Carlson, a man whose name has long been synonymous with provocation, takes the stage.
He made this statement at the Turning Point USA conference on July 11, 2025.
The conference is described by the organizers as:
“Turning Point USA, a young conservative advocacy group, is holding its 2025 Student Action Summit from July 11 to 13 in Tampa, Florida, featuring Tucker Carlson, Donald Trump Jr., and others.”
According to Carlson, it is “impossible” to be a U.S. citizen and “serve the interests of another state” at the same time.
In the journalist’s opinion, all those who fight for other countries should have their citizenship revoked.
He speaks harshly, confidently, almost without pauses:
“Many Americans served in the Israel Defense Forces, they should be stripped of citizenship. Many Americans served in Ukraine, they should be stripped of citizenship.”
The hall applauds. Outside — disturbing silence.
Who does this concern?
These words struck at the heart of the Jewish and Ukrainian communities. Especially in Israel, where thousands of U.S. immigrants serve in the IDF, and some — in Ukrainian army units, especially after the full-scale Russian invasion.
These are real people. Not politicians. Not mercenaries. Young men and women who believed that freedom doesn’t end at their doorstep.
Our site NAnews has repeatedly reported how Israel honors Americans who took up arms to defend the Jewish state. Some of them survived rocket attacks. Some buried friends.
How far is Carlson ready to go?
Carlson has previously spread lies and Russian propaganda about Ukraine. Is he now targeting Israel?
- Left Fox News in 2023
- In 2024 — interviewed Putin
- Called Zelensky a dictator
- Attacked Israel and the IDF
It seems Carlson is crossing out America’s allies with a red pen.
On the edge of antisemitism
Same stage. Same conference. He talks about Epstein. Says he was a “pervert.” Worked for Mossad. And that speaking about this is forbidden.
“Obviously, he was an agent of Israel. But who dares to say this out loud?”
The hall claps. The internet fumes. Social media polarizes.
A blow to the bridges
The Israeli press is asking: what’s next? Ban on dual citizenship? Repression in the U.S. against families who sent their sons to the IDF?
For thousands of American Jews, serving in the IDF is duty. Honor. A part of Jewish identity. Just like for Ukrainians who took up arms — it’s defense of home. No politics. No paychecks.
Tucker Carlson may be chasing headlines. But when it comes to lives, sensationalism stinks of rot.
Conclusion
When someone like Carlson proposes to rewrite the boundaries of citizenship and loyalty, it’s important to remember: patriotism is not measured by a flag in the passport, but by who you protect. And if Americans defend Israel and Ukraine — they defend what America once believed in.
