I have to say I am almost more bothered at the thought there might be Hillsdale support for this deceitful creepiness than I am by Carlson. Jew hatred has long been the death knell of the left in history. It has existed on the right in this nation as well, for a while, but mostly in powerless side pockets of the population. At a point where the right seems to be headed to significant victories it would be absolutely tragic if it allowed this vicious poison to do it in. I hope and expect Hillsdale to distance itself forcefully from this. But these days, it seems, anything is possible. A lot of very strange crossovers and alliances are showing up.
Sachs' thinking may be more complicated than antisemitism, particularly since Sachs is Jewish. Watch this clip of Sachs agreeing with Carlson that Bashar Assad wasn't a bloodthirsty dictator: https://x.com/DrewPavlou/status/1869270520681857420
As to Nicholas Kristof of the New York Times being among Israel’s harshest public critics, he has written articles that are critical of Israel, particularly regarding its policies towards Palestinians,
but acknowledges Israel's right to exist and defend itself. He condemns Hamas' actions.
“A spokesman for Hillsdale did not reply to an email from The Editors seeking comment on the content.” I sent a copy of the piece after publication, too. Will update/report back if I hear from them.
Posted this at PowerLine as a comment on their entry of this Carlson show.
For an absolutely superb takedown of every single one of Sach's insane charges against Netanyahu, see this by Ira Stoll

Very discouraging about Hillsdale. Hopefully they will respond with a salient comment. They are damaging their brand.

Has Hillsdale been asked and given a chance to comment on the nature of its affiliation with Carlson?
