This weekend at the AmFest conference, Tucker Carlson spread an anti-Israel conspiracy theory about the USS Liberty that was repeated throughout the event. Conspiracy-oriented narratives about the 1967 USS Liberty incident—claiming that Israel intentionally attacked a U.S. Navy ship and that key facts were covered up—have circulated for decades. Antisemites often claim that the USS Liberty incident proves that American Jews cannot be trusted, and that Jews put the interests of Israel or other Jews over those of the United States. These claims draw on long-standing conspiracy theories that portray Israel and U.S. policymakers as acting with malicious intent and are frequently used to advance broader anti-Israel political agendas. Despite official findings that the attack was a tragic case of mistaken identity, these narratives continue to be amplified by actors seeking to inflame distrust and undermine U.S.–Israel relations.
