Tucker is reflecting where young people are at.
They see Mamdani as more America first, than current political establishment of both parties.
This explains where Tucker is coming from:
He is right about the utter wrongness of collective punishment and guilt as regards a Western perspective. But as Sid Farkas pointed out, Gaza is not really that kind of situation. It has more in common with the close to `total war' style that is being conducted there. Even now though, its not as indiscriminate as our fire bombings (in Pacific War, not Europe. In Germany it was the British, not us, bombing more willy nilly with incendiaries most of the time---most of our B-17 raids were very "directed" but like Israel now, not to the point to cripple the mission)
Tucker did go into this during the Fuentes interview too. Its clearly one of his "north stars". The clip cut off as he was about to expand on "it is why he hates the Nazis" but the gist was clear.
Ironically, the race collective hatred is no small part of why the Nazis failed. Had they had the sense
to befriend those welcoming them in the East, they might have brought down Stalin. Japan made the same mistake in the Philippines and elsewhere.
So even aside from the moral, you can make good case that collective guilt scenarios are pretty counter-productive.
