Carlson Questions Christian Zionist

Tucker Carlson interviewed Mike Huckabee, and they argued about whether today's Jews have a legitimate Biblical claim to control the nation of Israel. There were two parts to this: whether today's Jews are the same people as those in the Bible, and whether a historical background entitles people to political power today. Huckabee is a Christian Zionist who believes the Jews have a Biblical right to Israel and surrounding areas.

Most mainstream Christian Catholics and Protestants regard Christian Zionism as a heresy.

Matters of ancestry are usually settled by DNA, but DNA tests are illegal in Israel, with certain exceptions, such as court orders and medical screening. DNA tests can used to help prove that a Jew is entitled to Israel citizenship. Regular consumer DNA tests are illegal, as in Germany and France. They are cheap and legal in the rest of the world.

It baffles me how the people of those three countries can put up with such a ban. Everyone should have a right to know who he is. DNA gives identifying info that cannot be obtained in any other way.

In France and Germany, the purpose of the ban is to cover up a mother's infidelity. In Israel, the ban is also to cover up many Jews not really having Jewish ancestry.

Update: The UK BBC tries to explain Carlson:

6:52 Well, the thing that Tucker, and he did this at Fox, too. Um he's he's doing this still. He he's very good at taking fringe ideas, ideas that exist on the far far far far right often times, you know, on the internet. Um, taking those ideas and smuggling them into the mainstream and presenting them in such a way he makes them more palatable. ...

the 7:22 most sort of famous instance of this is the great replacement theory. this idea that um elites, oftentimes Jews, are bringing immigrants into the United States to replace white voters and therefore support the Democratic party. I mean, this is this is a theory that has been bumping around on the far far far right for for decades.

Not far far far far right. An obvious fact.
