Far-right podcaster Tucker Carlson directly compared Israel’s war in Gaza to the Holocaust and the 1994 Rwandan genocide in a sharply worded interview released Thursday.

“At some point every Holocaust museum will be forced to include an exhibit on what’s happening in Gaza right now. It’s only a matter of time,” Carlson wrote of the May 28 episode of his eponymous podcast.

The show centers on an interview with British surgeon Dr. Nick Maynard, a longtime critic of the Jewish state who has falsely spread claims that Israeli forces have deliberately targeted doctors in Gaza.

Carlson opened the program with a monologue invoking the legacies of the Rwandan genocide and the Holocaust.

He argued that Western governments had once again watched mass killing unfold and failed to stop it, accusing the Biden and Trump administrations of doing too little to confront Israel.

Biden “did nothing to stop the genocide in Gaza” and that Trump had “let this happen and encouraged it to happen.”

“This one took place in Gaza,” Carlson said, calling the war “another genocide.”

Carlson claimed that Israel had decided after the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas invasion “to murder as many people as it possibly could in Gaza” in order to force the population out and take over the territory.

He also explicitly conflated Israel’s war against Hamas with Hamas’ invasion of Israel.

“All murder of civilians is wrong,” he said. “But since we’re comparing, in what place have more civilians been murdered, Israel or Gaza? It’s not even close.”

“What you have here,” he said, “is the desperate attempt, which appears to be coming to an end, of the people committing the crimes trying to remain the victim of the crime.”

Fox News host Mark Levin, a supporter of Israel and a frequent critic of Carlson, excoriated Carlson in an X post Thursday, calling the podcaster a “demented buffoon” and a “lowlife.”

Ana Kasparian, co-host of the far-left “The Young Turks” podcast, defended Carlson while accusing Israel of “loathsome terrorist behavior.”
