On December 14, 2025, following the antisemitic terrorist attack at Bondi Beach (16 killed by Islamist gunmen), pro-Israel lawyer Arsen Ostrovsky—a victim grazed by a bullet—shared his survival story.

Tucker Carlson’s brother, Buckley Carlson, directly accused Ostrovsky of complicity in a staged Zionist/Israeli false flag operation.

These claims echo antisemitic tropes of Jewish orchestration of tragedies for gain, with zero evidence—Australian authorities confirmed genuine Islamist motives.

Carlson then amplified the conspiracy by repeatedly replying in threads.

Buckley Carlson is well known due to his brother, and has 57,000 followers. These malicious false statements — of complicity in mass murder staging — were published worldwide, harming Ostrovsky’s reputation as a human rights advocate.

The core claim is unequivocally false and is contradicted by all official sources and reporting.

I hope Arsen Ostrovsky sues Buckley Carlson for defamation and wins.
