Controversial Daily Wire host Candace Owens dropped a lengthy screed on Instagram on Wednesday, in which she blasted America’s support for Israel and accused “political Jews” of creating anti-Semitism.
Owens shared a post from fellow Daily Wire host Matt Walsh raging against foreign aid and began her rant by writing, “Further to that point I would like to say this.”
“I grew up in a town that had a large Jewish community. For whatever reason my best friends throughout my childhood and early adulthood were always Jewish,” Owen began before discussing her connections to the Jewish community, having nannied for a Jewish family in Manhattan and working for two Jewish men at a private equity fund.
“So why am I telling you this?” she then asked and wrote:
Never once in all of those years, ever, did I hear ANY of those people accuse others of being antisemitic or a “Jew Hater”.
That all changed when I got into politics and met what I would describe as political Jews-who operate almost exactly like Black Lives Matter.
These people-regarding which they are a small, fringe faction, are some of those most vile, dishonest, manipulative people that I have ever met. Under the guise of fighting antisemitism, they actually create it.
Notably, accusing Jews of fueling anti-Semitism is a classic anti-Semitic trope. Owens and Daily Wire host Ben Shapiro have feuded in the past over Israel and Owens defending Kanye West’s anti-Semitic tirades. Owens has a long history of controversial and outlandish rhetoric including saying Adolf Hitler’s “nationalism” inside Germany was “fine” and that parents who take their kids to drag queen story hour should have them “taken away.”
“Just as Black Lives Matter radicals would threaten and intimidate white people’s lives by constantly smearing and libeling people into submission, these radicals do the same,” Owens continued.
“BLM ultimately hurt the black community. The Jewish fringe are hurting the Jewish community by misrepresenting who they are,” she continued, before turning to Israel:
My political philosophy has always been that we should not be using taxpayer dollars to support foreigners. I am therefore against the welfare programs for illegal immigrants. I’m against illegal immigration as a whole as it burdens taxpayers. I was against sending money to Afghanistan and Ukraine and therefore I am, of course, against sending a single dime to Israel.
“America is a country that is trillions dollars in debt. Why on earth are we sending money to a nation that has less debt than us?” she continued, adding: “This is common economic sense. Not antisemitism.”
“Ultimately what this particular fringe group of radical jewish [sic] people are, are thugs and marxists. They want power, and they are willing to harm their Jewish peers to get it,” Owens continued, adding:
Have the courage to call these people out. To my jewish friends: you are not a monolith. You do not have to support their Marxism or believe their nasty lies.
Owens ended by saying she hopes all the Israeli hostages are “found” and that “I also cry and mourn for the little children in Palestine who are growing up with the threat of bombs dropped on them every day.”
Thanks for the post.
My thinking is that Jews have risen to positions of prominence in many countries. Prominent, yet minority, can be a combustible combination. Prominent (rich) capitalist Jews can lead to issues. Prominent socialist/communist Jews can lead to issues. Damned if you go right, damned if you go left.
Thomas Sowell said that for Jews to be liked, they must fail. He argued that they succeed and are resented, all the more so for being a minority (poorly understood) group. Short of choosing mediocrity, I think Jews should take a low profile.
Liberal idiot Jews like Rob Reiner lecturing Christians on the demands of Christianity does more for anti-jewish sentiment that a hundred Nazi parades.
Isn’t it usually Jewish people outside of politics who have a bad reputation?
So many forget that this grifter c**t first entered the public sphere accusing several “white boys” at Stamford (CT) H.S. of making racial slurs against her, and partnering with the NAACP to sue the district, netting her nearly $40k in a cash settlement.
I don’t want them to fail in life, in business, etc. I only want them to fail in communist politics. A successful Jew is just fine with me. But don’t try to pull the thread that sews America together.
The flood of Trotsky lovers in the early 1900s has been dedicated to pushing communism in America from the 1930s forward. They have infected both parties and are at the root of the neocon movement and the corresponding democrat progressive movement.
A pox on both.
Also keep in mind that this despicable woman who recently declared “Jesus is Lord” as a bizarre reply to Ben Shapiro tweet, and is now pretending to be a big-time Christian just 2 years ago went on Joe Rogan and ridiculed people who believed that Jesus was Lord...or that he ever existed! Owens is truly repulsive, soulless and evil.
The Orthodox are having 7 kids. Israel will become more Orthodox.
I shall neither claim to know what Liberman "thought," nor claim he sought to be a "kingmaker." Perhaps you would document those claims.
But WITHOUT A DOUBT, "Mizrachi/Sefardi Jews are still Israel’s identity." And they have their firebrands.
As an example: "Attacks on Reform Jews by ultra-Orthodox, or Haredi, Israeli leaders are nothing new. A top priority of Haredi politicians in recent decades has been to preserve the monopoly of Orthodox rabbis over official religious ceremonies in Israel and prevent the government from recognizing the liberal Jewish denominations — Reform and Conservative — that represent most American Jews. Yosef has a history of making provocative comments, including against Reform Judaism, women, the High Court of Justice and Black people." ( Notice the liberal slant to the article/op-ed. )

What is not included, in my lexicon, are "Jews" who do not adhere to Jewish principles and traditions, in the same way that "Christians" who do not adhere to Biblical principles and traditions are not representative of Christianity. But these are most surely representative of a worldwide Left which has more in common with its "sisters" than with its generations and generations which have gone before.
The Sephardim and Ashkenazim are of cultural and language difference acquired in a long diaspora yet bound together by Torah, whereas Leftism is quite another thing. It is bound together in camouflage to pretend to be among the others, but has a "god" unto itself.
These fruit loops rely on people’s short attention spans and ignorance as to how Google works.
“went on Joe Rogan and ridiculed people who believed that Jesus was Lord...or that he ever existed!”
I don’t know what you are referring to. I found this from 5 years ago:

I listened to the first three minutes, where she is very positive about religion, specifically Christianity. What did I miss?
Understood, on your points.
My point, to be clear, is the Some of my Best Friends phrase is always brandished as a character shield.
Candace has sort of gone off the rails over the past few months, most notably in her dust-up with Ben Shapiro. I am not sure what happened. It seems to be triggered by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Indeed, the whole Russia-Ukraine thing has exposed lots of simmering “feelings.” Previously harmonious FReepers are now calling each other Zeepers or Putinistas.
I am NOT (yet) saying Candace is a bigot. What I AM saying is, there is a whole lot of disharmony on our side of the fence.
Meanwhile, the Dems are refining their ballot harvesting chops.
That looks almost good enough to steal (as tagline material).

They never rest on this. The rat cheating is diverse and ubiquitous. It constantly evolves as laws change. They have no fear because they learned in 2018 the courts will not even delay an election “result” let alone reverse one.
