Speaking to Glenn Greenwald, an ardent Jewish antisemite and anti-Israel polemicist on his podcast, Tucker Carlson’s obsession with Israel again reared its head.

  • “There’s no criticism of the United States… that is banned or even discouraged—only of [Israel].”
  • Censorship is always levied on behalf of the people in charge”
  • “If you can’t criticise a foreign country, then that country’s in charge, right? I mean, what other conclusion should I draw?”

The amount of real estate Israel takes up in Carlson’s head brings to mind the stories of Kings Nimrod and Titus.

  • Both blasphemed against God.
  • Both wanted to replace God.
  • Both were obsessed with publicly harassing (or worse) those who worshiped Him.
  • Both received a life sentence of head-pounding punishment at the hands of a tiny creature who can barely be seen.

1. King Nimrod

As the ruler of Mesopotamia, who commissioned the Tower of Babel, Nimrod declared himself a deity and sought to “war with heaven.”

When Abraham rejected idolatry and clung to God, he threw Abraham into a massive, fiery furnace.

Abraham emerged from the flames unscathed — but Nimrod was unrepentant.

Finally, a mosquito entered his nostril and reached his brain.

Nimrod lived his final years in a state of constant torture, forced to have his servants beat him on the head with mallets or shoes just to distract him from the excruciating pain.

2. King Titus

Fast forward 2,000 years. Titus, the Roman general who destroyed the Second Temple in 70 CE, enters the scene.

According to the Talmud, to display his utter contempt, Titus brought a prostitute into the holiest room of the Temple, unrolled a Torah scroll, and committed an intimate act on it.

He slashed the Parokhet, a heavy ornamental curtain that marked off the holy sanctuary. “Blood spurted out” from the curtain as if he had wounded a living being.

Titus exclaimed: “I have slain Himself [God]!” He actually believed he had successfully killed the God of Israel.

But Titus was mistaken. God sent a tiny gnat that entered Titus’s nose and spent seven years gnawing at his brain.

The agony was so persistent that Titus only found temporary relief through the rhythmic sound of a blacksmith’s hammer, which momentarily silenced the insect’s buzzing.

Upon his death, it is said his skull was opened to reveal that the gnat had morphed into a monstrous creature with claws of iron.

The Moral of the Story

Some people feel a “buzzing in the brain” despite all their money, power, and fame. They have to have more — the ultimate power — they want to be “above it all,” the kind of power that only God has. As a result, they become fixated on anyone who serves Him and no other.

As such, they become their own undoing—unable to stop thinking about how they’re slighted, tortured and tormented by the tiniest of thoughts on this topic.
