Candace Owens: "Netanyahu is a Demon"

Candace Owens, a controversial right-wing commentator, has escalated her rhetoric against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, referring to him as a "demon" in a series of posts on X on July 30, 2025. This statement is part of a broader pattern of antisemitic and anti-Israel sentiments Owens has expressed, particularly since the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack on Israel. In her latest tirade, Owens accused Netanyahu of being part of a global conspiracy, stating, "Netanyahu is a demon, and his actions are demonic." This follows her earlier comments on July 29, 2025, where she called Israelis "other than human" and accused them of "always killing Christians," asking provocatively, "What are you going to do now? KILL US ALL?"

Owens' remarks were allegedly triggered by a satirical X post from @AvrahamGrinzaig. The post, intended as cynical satire about the recognition of a Palestinian state, was twisted by Owens to amplify her narrative of Jewish and Israeli malevolence. Her comments have drawn significant condemnation, with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) labeling her as espousing "explicitly antisemitic, anti-Zionist and anti-Israel views" in an August 27, 2024, report. The American Enterprise Institute (AEI) also criticized her for downplaying Kanye West's antisemitic remarks and engaging in feuds with Jewish figures like Ben Shapiro, further entrenching her in controversy.

It's unclear why she insists on continuing to spread old, tired tropes, and to create new ones. Maybe she is desperate to stay relevant? Or has she been bought By Qatar?
