In the wake of Israel’s strike on Iran, Candace Owens has launched into an antisemitic tirade so explicit it can no longer be dismissed as provocative rhetoric or misunderstood “criticism of Israel.” The cat is out of the bag. The mask has dropped. And it’s important to document exactly what she said—because this is not political analysis. This is hate.
On June 12, after reports that Israel had struck military targets in Tehran, Owens declared: “I’m so sick of Israel and those who pretend its actions are normal… This country has a bloodlust like no other.” She went on to accuse Israel of “demonic actions,” mocked religious Jews, and told supporters of Israel to “sign your offspring up to die for Netanyahu.”
Just hours later, she reposted a tweet labeling Israelis “child murderers without borders,” claiming they “butchered Palestinian children” and were now killing Iranian children—without any verification of the images used. It was pure libel, invoking one of the oldest and deadliest antisemitic blood libels: Jews as murderers of innocent children.
Then, on June 13, Owens posted again: “We are a colony of Israel. Your politicians are bought and paid for.” She accused President Trump of taking orders from Netanyahu and told Americans to ignore their own government and “start listening to Bibi.”
This isn’t criticism of a government. It’s centuries-old antisemitic conspiracy, broadcast to millions. And it’s dangerous.
Candace Owens is not just expressing a bad opinion. She is radicalizing her audience with lies, libels, and language that has historically led to violence. These tweets should be saved, cited, and condemned—because no one should be allowed to walk this back with a shrug or a “misunderstood” excuse. This is what she said. Believe her.
