| THE LIE Christians have a duty to condemn Israel for committing a so-called genocide in Gaza. |
| THE TRUTH There is nothing Christian about using debunked narratives to bear false witness against Israel in Jesus’ name. |
| BACKGROUND On March 13, 2026, former Miss California USA Carrie Prejean Boller appeared on Tucker Carlson’s show and urged all Christians to condemn Israel for the so-called “genocide” and “starvation” of Palestinians. (Tucker Carlson) She further claimed that Christians have a duty to denounce Israel for killing “70,000 innocent civilians” in Gaza, one of whom she said was a young boy killed by Israeli forces at an aid distribution site. Boller and Tucker framed Zionism and the Jewish hope for a Third Temple in Jerusalem as “anti-Christian.” |
| TRUTH EXPLAINED “Genocide” Claim: President Trump, Vice President Vance, and other officials have explicitly rejected the “genocide” claim. World Health Organization data contradicts it, and the IDF’s extensive civilian warning measures undermine any claim of genocidal intent. (Times of Israel), (Times of Israel), (World Health Organization), (IDF) “70,000 Innocent Civilians” Claim: Boller and Tucker repeatedly tell their audience that Christians have a duty to condemn Israel for killing “70,000 innocent civilians” in Gaza. That figure comes solely from Hamas, whose casualty reports classify nearly all deaths as “civilians,” routinely mislabel combatants, and even include natural deaths. Even taking Hamas’s numbers at face value, most of the dead are Hamas terrorists, not civilians. Yet Boller and Tucker continue invoking Christianity to demand that “every Christian” denounce Israel for a genocide that never happened. (New York Post), (Henry Jackson Society), (UN) The Boy Who Was Supposed to Be Dead: In June 2025, Tucker helped spread a false story that the IDF killed a young Gazan boy at a humanitarian aid site. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation later confirmed the boy was alive. Boller nevertheless repeated the false story on Tucker’s show as part of what she described as her “pro-life Christian” duty to condemn Israel. (The Free Press), (Tucker Carlson) “Starving Palestinians” Claim: Tucker and Boller accuse Israel of deliberately starving Gazans and frame their criticism as a Christian moral obligation. Yet even Hamas’s own figures contradict the allegation, and Israel has sent a steady flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza throughout the war. Boller nevertheless continues condemning Israel “as a Christian” for supposedly starving Palestinians. (Honest Reporting), (X), (IDF) Zionism Is Not Anti-Christian: Tucker and Boller claim that opposing Zionism is part of defending Christianity. In reality, Zionism simply affirms the Jewish people’s right to live in their ancestral homeland, Israel. Nowhere does Christian scripture deny such a right. In fact, the Apostle Paul—writing decades after becoming a follower of Jesus—reaffirms it. In Acts 13:17–19, he recounts how God “gave their land to His people as an inheritance,” underscoring the enduring biblical connection between the Jewish people and the land of Israel. (Jewish Center for Justice), (Acts 13) The Third Temple Panic: Carlson and Boller claim the Jewish hope for a Third Temple is “anathema” to Christianity and present opposing it as a Christian obligation. In reality, the issue reflects a theological disagreement, not religious hostility, and some Christian traditions even believe a physical Third Temple will be rebuilt before the Second Coming.

| QUOTES “I don’t think it’s [a genocide]. They’re in a war.” — President Donald Trump“If it was a genocide, why doesn’t Israel just drop a nuclear bomb on Rafah? Why don’t they just end it if they want all the Arab Muslims dead? Because they don’t.” — Charlie Kirk |
| TAKEAWAY Tucker Carlson, Carrie Prejean Boller, and their colleagues in the Woke Reich have discovered a convenient formula: invoke Christianity, repeat false accusations about Israel, and present slander as moral courage. They claim to speak “as Christians,” yet spread patently false claims. Christianity does not bless bearing false witness, and it certainly does not sanctify repeating propaganda as if it were truth. Using the name of Jesus to smear Israel is not Christian witness—it is the exploitation of faith for a sinister political agenda. If they truly intend to speak in Jesus’s name, the first obligation is simple: tell the truth. |
