Roberts, PhD President The Heritage Foundation 214 Massachusetts Ave NE Washington, D.C. 20002-4999 Dear Dr. Roberts, Thank you for our meeting at the Heritage Foundation in December, 2025. I very much appreciated our detailed, cordial discussion about the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA)’s concerns about you and the Heritage Foundation defending and allying with Tucker Carlson, who used to condemn Pat Buchanan as a Jew-hater and has now transformed himself into a vicious blood libeler and propagandist against the Jewish people, Israel and American interests. I also appreciated your apology for your language calling persons objecting to Tucker Carlson’s dangerous antisemitism as a “venomous coalition,” and declaring that the Heritage Foundation would always defend Carlson against “the slander of bad actors who serve someone else’s agenda.” Especially because this type of inflammatory language has a history of being used by antisemites to attack the Jewish people. I furthermore appreciated your statement that you understood my concerns; your agreement that many of Tucker Carlson’s statements were concerning; and your promises to soon publicly denounce Tucker Carlson, demand that Carlson retract his odious, bigoted positions and statements, end Heritage Foundation funding of Carlson, and distance yourself and the Heritage Foundation from Tucker Carlson’s future Jew-baiting statements and other hideous declarations. I was also gratified by your promise to invite me to speak at Heritage on the Arab-Israeli situation and by your offer to even come to my home outside of Philadelphia for our next meeting. Unfortunately, it is now over six weeks since we met, and you and Heritage have not, to my knowledge, denounced, cut off Carlson, made the promised demands on Tucker Carlson, or distanced yourselves from any of Tucker Carlson’s many recent and recently revealed radical statements. Please let me know when you could fulfill the promise that you made to me. This is the honorable, moral and just action to take. It’s the right thing for you, Heritage and America. In addition to the long list of Carlson’s dangerous, anti-American, antisemitic and anti-Israel statements that I provided to you during our meeting, some of Carlson’s barrage of recent (since we met) anti-American, anti-Israel and antisemitic statements are listed at the end of this letter. As we discussed in December, and as demonstrated by the items I provided during our meeting and the recent items set forth below, Tucker Carlson’s statements and actions are disturbing, dangerous, bigoted and contrary to Trump administration policy, U.S. interests and security. Indeed, President Trump himself has admonished Carlson’s dangerous willingness to enable the bloodthirsty Iranian regime to build nuclear weapons to destroy Israel and the West. On June 16, 2025, the President wrote on Truth Social: “Somebody please explain to kooky Tucker Carlson that IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON!” and “AMERICA FIRST means many GREAT things, including the fact that, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!” It is deeply disappointing that you and the Heritage Foundation, who claim to support the United States and the Trump administration, have still apparently said nothing about Tucker Carlson. I respectfully and strongly urge you to promptly remedy this state of affairs and to follow through on your promises during our December meeting. Sincerely, Morton A. Klein National President Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) New York, NY Tucker Carlson’s Extremely Concerning Statements, Interviews, etc. Since Our December Meeting: • In his January 2026 newsletter, Carlson absurdly claimed that if the Iranian regime obtains a nuclear bomb, there was “zero chance” that Iran would use it; and that a nuclear-armed Iran could be a “good thing” because it could “prompt America to leave the area alone,” incentivize Israel to drop its security goals in the West Bank (Judea Samaria) and Gaza, make Iran less oppressive to its people, and curb “the West’s constant decapitation ambitions.” • Carlson further outrageously asserted in his January 2026 newsletter that North Korea’s nuclear bomb has been a “good thing” and “stabilized” its peninsula. • On January 8, 2026, while the Iranian regime and its Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (a U.S.-designated terrorist organization) were murdering massive numbers of innocent Iranian citizens (approaching 50,000 slaughtered) on Iran’s streets, IRGC television was broadcasting Tucker Carlson’s pro-Iranian-regime Islamist propaganda in Persian. • On February 4, 2026, Carlson posted a lengthy and disgraceful video falsely claiming that the “U.S.-funded Israeli government” mistreats Christians and makes it difficult for Christians to visit holy sites, and that Muslim Arab nations treat Christians better than Israel does. This gross antisemitic libel bears no resemblance to reality: It is a grotesque lie! Israel is the only nation in the Middle East where the Christian population has steadily increased and that guarantees Christians freedom of worship and access to Christian holy sites. Bethlehem used to be 80% Christian — when Arafat and the Muslims took control, the Christian population were treated so badly that now only 10% of Bethlehem is Christian. Senator Connie Mack and I met with a group of Bethlehem Christians in the late 90’s and they described how horrific was their treatment under Arab Muslim rule. Under Jordanian rule of Jerusalem in the 50’s, the majority of Christians there fled. Christians weren’t allowed to build Churches or renovate Churches and theywere forced to teach Islam in their Christian schools. Christians living in Israel countered Carlson’s outrageous blood libels. For instance, Shadi Khaloul posted: “I'm a Christian in Israel. Tucker Carlson attacks my home, claiming Christians are better off in Qatar. Really? Israel's Christians are full citizens. We vote, serve in the army, and hold Knesset seats. In Qatar, 400,000 Christians are mostly migrant workers, confined to six government-controlled churches. I'm done letting him smear Israel.” Continue Reading   Share This Email Share This Email Share This Email   DONATE   www.zoa.org   Copyright © Zionist Organization of America 2026.
