Tucker’s comments constitute little more than an exercise in minimizing the genocidal massacre that Israel has sustained. He asserts that if it’s moral outrage you’re looking for, we can easily find it right here at home. The deaths of homeless drug addicts are apparently akin to the cold-blooded mass murder of men, women, children, and whole families.

Among other things, Tucker is an unreliable narrator. He transforms Nikki Haley’s advice to Israel that it must “finish” Hamas into advice to finish “Iran.” It’s not the worst of Tucker’s rhetorical maneuvers, but it’s indicative of the dishonesty that permeates his comments.

“War begets more war,” he advises. Such mindless shibboleths can guide us on the “wise path forward.” John Lennon was unavailable to confirm.

[Seems as though Tucker has jumped the shark this week, and he may have taken Vivek Ramaswamy with him. Yes, we have problems at home. The West also has problems abroad, especially with radical Islamic terrorism and Iran. It’s possible to focus on both, especially since all we’re doing in Gaza is supporting Israel, not conducting military operations, even though Hamas has murdered Americans and taken some hostage. Are we supposed to just shrug at that? — Ed]
