Candace Owens is destroying her career with her latest comments about Jews and Israel. Her boss, Ben Shapiro, an Orthodox Jew, blasted her recent comments, calling them “disgraceful.” [Correction: He’s not her boss, but rather a co-founder and Editor Emeritus. Co-founder and CEO Jeremy Boering is on leave and said neither Ben Shapiro nor he can fire Candace Owens. He supports her.]
Perhaps it’s irrelevant, but Candace Owens is friends with Kanye West, who had an anti-Semitic breakdown last year.
After Shapiro called her out publicly, they unfollowed each other on social media. It’s not likely that she still has a job at Shapiro’s Daily Wire. She has gone from working for Turning Point USA to Prager to Daily Wire. Now where?
In this clip, Owens spouts an anti-Semitic trope.

Owens thinks Muslims have to live in the Muslim Quarter in Israel. She is talking about something she knows nothing about.
The term goes back to the 1840s and has been where Muslims in Jerusalem chose to settle going back to the 1400s. There’s also an Armenian Quarter, a Jewish Quarter, and a Christian Quarter. Also, Jews live in the Muslim Quarter, but it has become so unsafe for them that less than 100 Jews are living there now.
Candace Owens legit thought the “Muslim quarter” is where Muslims are permitted to live https://t.co/kEnWFtV9Lp

She claims that Israel is committing genocide after Hamas executed a genocidal attack on Israel. Israel declared war on Hamas but continually warns Gazan civilians before bombing a Hamas lair. Can Israel be banned from defending themselves because Hamas uses civilians as human shields?
No government anywhere has a right to commit a genocide, ever.
There is no justification for a genocide.
I can’t believe this even needs to be said or is even considered the least bit controversial to state.

Ben Shapiro was not pleased. He called her comments “disgraceful.” It’s not “faux sophistication, it’s ridiculous.”
Well here’s a welcome surprise.@benshapiro speaks up, publicly calling out Candace Owens for her too cute by half anti-Semitism as “disgraceful.”

Black celebrities are coming to her defense.
When I sat down with Candace Owens awhile back it was a respectful dialogue. When we disagreed on Colin Kaepernick and his approach, I didn’t call her names nor did she. It was a classy and robust convo.
Saying that to say…
Now that she has a different take on… pic.twitter.com/voxCKCkwgQ

“Candace Owens is destroying her career with her latest comments about Jews and Israel. Her boss, Ben Shapiro, an Orthodox Jew, blasted her recent comments, calling them “disgraceful.”
Ben is not her boss and does not own the company…he only works there….just as she does….she can have opinions too….
Thank you. I added a correction. She is self-destructing – I don’t want her to, but he’s a bad enemy to have.
She has a right to her opinion. Not everyone will have the same take on Israel but can still be supportive. Its not like Candice is pimping the Hamas terror group.
Candace is telling the Truth. Jesus Christ is the Truth. Jews reject this. They are committing sins that cry out to Heaven for God’s vengeance. May the God of all change the hearts of all men.
I would call it genocide. But it is JUSTIFIED genocide.
I’m not an expert on any of the discussion below, however I know that many words have multiple definitions and many dictionaries are incomplete especially online. Below is an example on the subject discussed in this blog. I just perused a dozen online dictionaries looking for definition of Semite. Most are in agreement except the Oxford English Dictionary online. Of if you buy “the” Oxford dictionary of 20 volumes it is around $1000. (The mother of all dictionaries)
Near the end of this definition is the second definition which indicates the beginnings of it being used
“A Jewish person. Frequently derogatory or euphemistic.”
Here is the exert from online:
