<\/picture><\/a><\/p>\n(If you don’t care about any of these people, feel free to stop reading here… <\/strong>fair warning)<\/p>\n To bring you up to speed: <\/strong>Following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, podcaster Candace Owens pointed the finger at Israel, suggesting that Kirk’s shifting views on Israel made him a target – and suggesting that Israel and France plotted Kirk’s death. This drew sharp criticism from the Daily Wire<\/em>‘s Ben Shapiro (Owens’ former boss), journalist Bari Weiss, and the ADL – with Shapiro further accusing Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson of amplifying ‘antisemitism’ by platforming Owens and refusing to condemn her claims, while Kelly says attempts to censor criticism of Israel is in fact ‘making’ people into antisemites.<\/p>\n So – a lot going on here. <\/strong>Prominent Jews are condemning conservatives who haven’t condemned Candace Owens – accusing them of fueling antisemitism, while Megyn Kelly says that in general<\/em>, attempts to label conservatives critical of Israeli policy as ‘antisemites’ is actually creating antisemites.<\/p>\n Tensions peaked at Turning Point USA’s AmFest conference last week<\/strong>, where Shapiro downplayed the 1967 USS Liberty incident in which Israel attacked a US Navy ship and killed 34 Americans – calling it a ‘mistake’ that’s now largely irrelevant because it happened so long ago:<\/p>\n
