The Anti-Defamation League wants Fox News to fire Tucker Carlson.

WaPo reports in "ADL demands Fox News fire Tucker Carlson over anti-Semitic trope: ‘This has deadly significance.'"

Here's the exact quote from Carlson (which includes his awareness that what he is saying is fuel to his would-be cancelers):

“Now, I know that the left and all the little gatekeepers on Twitter become literally hysterical if you use the term ‘replacement,’ if you suggest that the Democratic Party is trying to replace the current electorate, the voters now casting ballots, with new people, more obedient voters from the third world,” Carlson said. “But they become hysterical because that’s what’s happening actually. Let’s just say it: That’s true.” 

Carlson then referenced the racist claim by name, dismissing it as the motivation for his remarks. 

“Everyone wants to make a racial issue out of it. Oh, you know, the white replacement theory? No, no, no,” he said. “I have less political power because they are importing a brand new electorate. Why should I sit back and take that?” 

The “great replacement theory” was popularized in 2012 by French writer Renaud Camus, who warned that Western countries face an impending White genocide. The phrase has evolved into a bogus notion that a cabal of elite Jews are plotting to replace White populations with immigrants, Muslims and people of color, according to the ADL.

Of course, Carlson was denying that he meant to espouse the "replacement theory." He said he wanted to use the word "replacement" without the extra baggage and to criticize his antagonists for getting emotional over that word. He knew what he was doing, and presumably he loves the media attention he engineered. He's in a creepy love embrace with liberal media. Maybe I should just look away. I would look away, but I just want to nail this down to keep track of it.

FROM THE EMAIL: Several readers are attacking the Anti-Defamation League, saying that it's not what it used to be. For example, one reader says:

The ADL is a D operation and a long standing embarrassment to Jews.... It is a D organization wearing the clothes of a former Jewish group. It is a defamation to Jews, and it is a terrible embarrassment. I don't think for a second ADL actually thinks, Carlson, talking about how black voter dilution is a product of mass immigration, was inviting harm to Jews or anyone else. It is insulting. Insulting that they are posing as if Jews, for a second, think that speaking out against diluting the black vote through mass immigration is hurting Jews, It's a farce they are playing at the expense of diaspora Jews.

"The boars snooze in people’s paddling pools. They snuffle across the lawns. They kick residents’ soccer balls and play with their dogs.

"They saunter down the sidewalks and sleep in the streets. Some eat from the hands of humans, and they all eat from the trash.... 'It became like an everyday thing,' said Eugene Notkov, 35, a chef who lets his dog play with the boars that putter around the local parks. 'They’re a part of our city'.... Bumping into one is 'like seeing a squirrel.'...'I wish we could all in Israel learn to live like they live in Haifa,' said Edna Gorney, a poet, ecologist and lecturer at the University of Haifa. 'It’s an example of coexistence — not only between Arabs and Jews, but also between humans and wildlife.'... 'They are controlling the streets now,' said Assaf Schechter, 43, a port worker confronted recently by a boar on his porch. 'It’s a very crazy situation.'... 'At night, I would go out, after a drink, and recycle the beer,' Professor Malkinson said. 'It’s two for the price of one — you fertilize the trees and you try to deter the wild boars... Essentially the conflict is between those who oppose having wild boars in the city and those who don’t... It’s not an ecological problem... It’s a social problem.'"

I've been told that Haifa is a beautiful, laid back city. Never heard a thing about the boars. Along the Mediterranean and probably in the rest of Israel, and indeed the world, boars are shot, for food or to protect people and crops. Homer told us of Odysseus getting gored by a battle with a boar, leaving him with a lifelong scar. This has been a battle between humans and boars for eons. In Tuscany, boars can destroy vineyards overnight. So...hunting parties go out to kill off boars. And it's served as main entrees on menus all over the world.

But it'll be a problem, if it is not already for Haifa. Feral pigs breed constantly and in huge numbers. Boars are levels more dangerous. Haifa is clearly laid back. And we know from our own experiences here in the US what happens to cities when your policies get too laid back. Things that were on the fringes start to overtake the daily pattern of life. And soon they are no longer a talking point, or cute, or 'quirky'. Just annoying and dangerous and tend to change the face of your city.

Haifa might have to think about how they handle food waste and start featuring Boar steaks, stews, and other features on local menus.

But it's pork! They can't eat it. The Jews can't eat it and the Muslims can't eat it either.

AND: Mike emails:

Well, if you believe Wikipedia (and who doesn't!) the city is 14% Christian. For them, the offer of free pork chops might appeal.

I'm not an expert of the scriptures, but I'm going to guess that the Christians would also have to do all the food prep work.
