US EditionTucker Carlson Under Fire for Blatant Lie About Israel and Chabad
Tucker Carlson's false claims linking Chabad to Iran war escalate tensions; recent attacks on Chabad events have killed 15 people, officials said.
- On March 5, 2026, Tucker Carlson claimed on his Wednesday podcast that the Chabad-Lubavitch movement is behind the war in Iran, showing photos of IDF soldiers wearing Temple Mount patches as evidence.
- Over the past year, Carlson and allies have amplified conspiratorial rhetoric, with Carlson hosting Nick Fuentes in October 2025 and Owens amplifying claims about Chabad on X.
- Photographic evidence undercuts Carlson's claim as the photos he shared match the January 2024 Temple Institute images, and Chabad spokespeople said the patches did not come from Chabad, which is a global religious outreach movement without political advocacy.
- Recent violence connected to attacks on Chabad events, including the January ramming at Chabad HQ and December shooting at Bondi Beach, coincides with Congress voting today on a war powers resolution.
- Community members warn the claim misrepresents Chabad's mission and harms public perception, as many who wear the Temple patches see them as symbols of faith, while Chabad teachings on the Third Temple emphasize future messianic redemption, not modern warfare.
