Candace Owens not allowed in Australia

"Owens has criticized US support for Israel but also mused about “political Jews” and a “very small ring of specific people who are using the fact that they are Jewish to shield themselves from any criticism”, remarks Shapiro called “absolutely disgraceful.

On Monday, on social media, Owens liked a post in which a user asked Shmuley Boteach, a well-known rabbi, if he was “drunk on Christian blood again”.

Owens subsequently came under fire from the Anti-Defamation League. The ADL, which campaigns against antisemitism, posted a report by the progressive watchdog Media Matters about remarks in which Nick Fuentes, a Holocaust denier and white supremacist, praised Owens for mounting “a full-fledged war against the Jews”."

Owens accused the Allies of ethnically cleansing 12 million Germans during and after World War Two and suggested that this was worse than Hitler's crimes. "What is it about Hitler? Why is he the most evil? Well, the first thing people would say is 'ethnic cleansing almost took place.' And I offer back, 'You mean like we actually did to the Germans?'"

Owens went on to question the historical record of the experiments the Nazis conducted on their prisoners.

"Some of the stories, by the way, sound completely absurd," she said. “They just cut a human up and sewed them back together? Why would you do that? Literally, even if you’re the most evil person in the world, that’s a tremendous waste of time and supplies.”

“That just sounds like bizarre propaganda," Owens added.

In 2022, Owens defended Kanye West after the rapper wrote that he was going "death con 3 on the Jews,” while denying his comments could be antisemitic "because black people are actually Jew."
