In a recent appearance with his daughter, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach unveiled a bizarre new theory: if you criticize Jews or Israel, it’s not political — it’s sexual.
“I have long argued that antisemitism is rooted in sexual repression, sexual deviance, and sexual perversion,” Schmuley said, while his daughter smiled and nodded.
So according to him, millions of people around the world who oppose Israeli policy aren’t motivated by war crimes, foreign policy, or history — they’re just sexually broken.
Then instead of proving it, he went straight into character assassination.
First target: Tucker Carlson.
Shmuley called him a “disgusting perv… allegedly,” then added ominously, “you’ll see, just wait.”
No evidence. No facts. Just a smear.
This is the modern playbook: if you can’t defeat someone in debate, hint that they’re a pervert.
Next up was Nick Fuentes:
“Nick Fuentes, we know is a perv. What’s the word he uses, for someone who refuses to have sex? Incel, he refers to himself as an incel.”
So now political opponents aren’t just wrong — they’re sexually defective.
Then Shmuley went even further and started speculating about Tucker Carlson’s sexuality:
“I don’t care if anyone is gay. It’s rather his denial of his sexual orientation because he’s afraid of being utterly rejected… by the MAGA anti-semitic, ultra-right, right nationalist, Neo-Nazis.”
Let that sink in.
Instead of responding to Fuentes and Tucker’s arguments about Israel, Shmuley claims they are secretly perverted, gay and psychologically tormented.
Critics Are a “Death Cult”
To finish it off, Shmuley claimed that antisemites hate Jews because Jews “choose life,” while their enemies are “death cults.”
