"Carlson said he believed both the US and Israel were failing their own citizens.
"I would like a democracy in the United States like I'd like one in Israel.
Israel is not a democracy; the United States apparently is not a democracy either. Our government keeps doing things that people don't want, so that's not democracy; it's the opposite of democracy."
"Of course, Israel is not a democracy in any sense. There are millions of people who live under Israeli control who cannot vote," he told Segal.
"These places which Israel has controlled since 1967 have people living in them who have no control over the government that controls their lives, which is true, it's not a democracy."
Israel "is probably the most violent country in the world," he said.
When Segal said Israel was acting in self-defense, Carlson responded that "no country has boasted more about killing its political opponents than Israel."
"Israel makes a public relations campaign out of boasting about killing its opponents."
Carlson also accused Trump of yielding to Netanyahu over Iran.
"Why did Trump let a nation of 9 million people drag a nation of 350 million people into a war that would change its future, and that is bad for the United States?"
"It's wrong that I'm paying for Israel's actions," he said. "There's no reason the United States should be sending any money at all to Israel and particularly not to its military."
The Israeli prime minister pushed the US president, he said, "who turned out to be far weaker than I understood, into a war that hurts the United States."

Perhaps there's hope for our Resident Cultists, too... ok, who am I kidding?
