"Arguably, most surprisingly, the specter of antisemitism has begun to stir in the sectors of the American right and the Republican Party, which, up until recently, has generally been staunchly pro-Israel. One of the most prominent advocates of this noxious creed is the popular media figure Tucker Carlson, has been widely accused of creating a rift in the GOP and criticized for promoting antisemitic ideas," writes the U.S.-based news agency Jewish News Syndicate (JNS).

"One of the more surprising sources for Carlson’s toxic tirade has its origins in the distant Caucasus nation of Armenia and its influential diaspora organization in America, the American National Committee of Armenians (ANCA). Thus, ANCA posted an incendiary interview in which Carlson’s interlocutor (to his feigned shock) made the outrageous claim that ‘Israel sold weapons to Azerbaijan to carry out the ethnic cleansing of Christians from Nagorno-Karabakh,’" JNS adds.
