Just in time for 2025, the group StopAntisemitism has named Candace Owens as Antisemite of the Year. They stated that this title is, “A distinct dishonor is reserved for the most bigoted and hateful individual who is crowned the “Antisemite of the Year.”
Candace, a far-right media commentator who previously worked for Turning Point USA, PragerU, and The Daily Wire – where she lost her position following antisemitic remarks –made several hateful comments towards the Jewish community in 2024. With her “dishonor” title, she joins the ranks of previous Antisemites of the Year including Rashida Tlaib (2023), Kanye West (2022), and Ilhan Omar (2019).
Many have been left baffled as to why Candace made this sudden turn, which started after Oct. 7 and the subsequent war in Israel and the Middle East. In the past, she had stated that Hitler “wanted to make Germany great and have things run well,” and she stood by her friend Kanye West following his bout with antisemitism. But following Oct. 7, she started taking talking points from the far left, inferring that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza. “No government anywhere has a right to commit a genocide, ever,” she posted on X. “There is no justification for a genocide.”
Candace often says she is just asking questions and trying to seek the truth, as if she doesn’t know anything – but people aren’t buying it.
“I think these things begin with ignorance and end with money,” Cam Higby, a journalist who has publicly commented on Candace’s antisemitism, told Aish.com. “Candace is not an unintelligent person, and so I find it very difficult to believe that she buys into such indefensible positions.”
It seems like Candace’s father-in-law, Lord Michael Farmer, doesn’t even know what happened. After she started making hateful comments, he distanced himself from his daughter in law, reaffirmed his support for the Jewish people and Israel, and told his own backstory of witnessing the horrors of World War II in Britain. He posted on X, “I became very aware of the cruelty meted out, before and during that conflict, against Jewish people – because they were Jewish. I found it impossible to comprehend how humans could, intentionally, be as cruel as possible to others.”
So, what really went down with Candace Owens? No one knows. However, her behavior towards the Jewish people has been truly appalling. Here are some of her top antisemitic moments from the past year.
Leo Frank, a Jewish businessman, was falsely convicted in the murder of Mary Phagan, a 13-year-old, in 1913. He was then lynched, and in the wake of this, the Anti-Defamation League was founded. Though Frank was pardoned in 1986, and history shows his innocence, Candace became obsessed with the case and has tried to prove that Leo Frank was indeed guilty. She said that he was given an order to murder Mary Phagan, a Christian child, on Passover – which is an old antisemitic conspiracy theory.
The state of Israel was founded after the Holocaust, when Jews needed a place for safe refuge. Israel was chosen because the Jews have always lived there – it’s their homeland. But according to Candace, the state of Israel was founded by “Frankists,” a cult group of Jews who are pedophiles. She said that Israel exists to shield these child abusers.
In an interview on her podcast with Jewish comedian Ami Kozak, Candace said that she visited Israel and saw that Muslims in Jerusalem were only allowed to live in the “Muslim Quarter.”
“I grew up in my grandparents’ house, my grandfather grew up in a segregated South, and so when I’m walking through Jerusalem, and you see, and they say, ‘These are the Muslim quarters, this is where the Muslims are allowed to live,’ that doesn’t feel like a bastion of freedom to me,” she said.
Ami retorted, saying that Israeli Arab citizens have full rights and can live where they want, just like all citizens of Israel. “There’s an Armenian Quarter,” he said. “It’s not saying the Armenians can only live here.”
In September of 2024, Candace put up an interview with Kanye West in which he pushed the idea that Jews control the media. YouTube suspended Candace’s channel for promoting this misinformation, and afterwards, she posted on X, “They also removed the interview as ‘hate speech,’ as it was mass reported by Zionists. Their tactics never change.”
In a broadcast called, “The Truth About Zionism,” Candace said that anyone who speaks out about Israel has to say, “You know I don’t want to get killed.” She then stated, “They shot JFK in an open car, he was a sitting president, so my security doesn’t matter, if they want me they’re gonna get me.”
During the Six-Day War in 1967, Israel mistakenly targeted the USS Liberty, an American Navy spy ship, after it went into an area it wasn’t supposed to. The ship didn’t receive the order to leave in time, and Israel attacked it, thinking it was an Egyptian ship. Tragically, 34 crewmen died and 177 were injured. The U.S. and Israel, longtime close allies, concluded it was a case of mistaken identity and the attack was by no means deliberate.
However, Candace interviewed a survivor of the attack who claimed that it was deliberate, and she’s been spouting that lie.
“The conspiracy theories promoted by Candace Owens regarding the USS Liberty are nothing short of modern-day blood libels,” Ronen Shoval, dean of the Argaman Institute and a political philosopher told Aish.com. “The attempt to sow division between Israel and the United States through lies and fabrications is not only destructive, but also deeply deranged. This is yet another chapter in the long history of antisemitism disguised as a so-called ‘search for truth,’ which always seems to lay blame on the Jews – even when the facts clearly prove otherwise. These theories must be called out for what they are: dangerous lies with no grounding in reality.”
Who knows what 2025 will hold for Candace Owens? One thing is clear: She’s probably not going to stop lying about the Jewish people anytime soon.

Candace is a dangerous grifter. Her god is her ego. She claims to be a Christian as do some of her followers. You cannot know God and hate Israel and the Jewish
people
like they do. She claims to be an investigative journalist but she's a fraud. One day Jesus will say depart from me.I never knew you unless she truly repents. I fear though that god has already given her over to a reprobate mind.
Candice has 1 gift and one greater liability-
the gift of gab puts her on a speaker's podium.
her liability is a self-inflated ego and a large gap in
her mental faculties that prevent her from seeing issues
with the proper perspective. Her orgasmic screed against jews
empowers her to seek notoriety and an absurd claim to knowing truth
when in reality, her 'facts' are cut a paste lies about jewry and israel.
she is one of those who can be buffered with truth and ignore honesty
completely! Indeed she has profitable 'handlers' who use her for evil
purposes and she will see a fall that will bury her sheer stupidity.
given time, every jew hater will end up in hell.
On so many other topics, Ms. Candace Owen speaks rationally and with moral clarity--but when speaking about Jews and Israel, I cannot grasp why she would promote her points of view which have been rebutted many times over.
It's clear what happened to Madame Candace: She became a CATHOLIC!!!!!
Coem, come, B. Smith. I am not a Roman Catholic but I know enough about it to refute your above statement.
Stop giving people like her power they do not deserve.
She denied the spirit of truth.
A spirit of disorder has taken over.
Stop holding her in any regard lest you become part of the problem instead of the solution.
The lady won the case, in Germany it is a crime to deny the Holocaust, I am a child of a Holocaust Survivor( obm), Jewish people should take her to court for Holocaust denial and denying what Dr. Joseph Mengele ( may his name be erased) did during the Holocaust,and she should be sued for everything she got for what she says and have consequences for her words, I forgot the name of the lady that sued the guy in England for Holocaust denial, again she must be sued to bad it is not a crime to deny the Holocaust in America
The lady is/was Deborah Esther Lipstadt that took David Irving a Holocaust denier to court and won the case
3 more days.
Do you know what this refers to?
In three days, the truth will begin to regain foothold, and to have people care.
I agree but she could be sued for defamation.
From reading her wikipedia entry, it looks like this lady, anti semitic or not, is addicted to causing controversy and this is where she is getting her popularity from, not from outstanding wisdom.
In the end, she will get hurt one way or another from her attitude, she will pay for her stupidity
Highly disappointed in Candace. So many that once walked in truth are falling. It just shows that the devil can and will deceive those that are not truly cemented in Christ and walk in the Holy Spirit! The Word tells us that even some elect will be deceived in the end days…..
While she deserves all the criticism she's getting, I'd love to see this forum also run some features on some (of the many) leftist antisemites and not only those coming from the right.
Does Muslim countries give her a lot of money to spread lies and hate. also she is not a journalist anymore but a propaganda minister spreading propaganda against Jews, Israel, Holocaust denial and not the truth about Hitler ( may his name be erased) and Dr. Joseph Mengele( may his name be erased) I am a child of a Holocaust Survivor( obm) to me it is personal in some countries Holocaust denial is a crime, it should also be in America a crime
Could Jews sue her for libel and slander, for a big sum of money that she becomes broke, she deserved this, also she is shooting off subjects she knows nothing about, it turns with all her education she is a empty bottle and a hater of Jews and Israel also a Holocaust denier and loves Hitler( may his name be erased) and also loves Dr. Joseph Mengele( may his name be erased) which made gruesome experiments against Jews and was called " the angel of death" the Nazis( may their name be erased) not only targeted Jews there is a whole list that they deemed subhuman and she would be on the list too
Looks like it worked bloody hard to get that title!!
There could of been a lot of money involved, like the Muslims gave a lot of money to colleges and universities to spread hate. there could be a money trail besides becoming a Catholic
As far as I am concerned, she is not worth mentioning. Her name and deeds should no be in our mouth. Why should she be recognized for anything. Let us recognize the zadiks and the ones with good hearts and deeds. Let us recognize love ❤️.
We must stop haters the Holocaust started with words and propaganda, she is like a poisonous mushroom, I guess you really don't know much about the Holocaust if you don't stop hate in its tracks the Holocaust happened and a lot of Tzadikim and female Tzadkim were murdered for kaddish Hashem including my mom's ( obm) family we must learn from history or else G _ d forbid it can happen again
How about the fact that she became a Catholic and learned her anti-Jewish catechism very very well!!
Her program needs to be boycotted.
Besides getting boycotted, sue her for everything she got
Congratulations Candace,you've got what you deserved,and asked for!Incredible that you can be so stupid.
All four of the awards were well earned!
I would like to know what changed. She got her start with Denis Prager (Jew) and grew into a notable personality with Ben Shapiro (Jew). Clearly, no rational person would work FOR Jews with these beliefs. What happened?
Those views were there all along, it just hid them because it suited....
I guess her mask fall off her face, and her truth colors of hate came out
She’s been subsequently released from each platform, before these comments and the reasons were never fully known at the time. So, they saw through her before the rest of us.
What we as a people need to do, (won't happen as you out there are ALL WIMPS) is catch her on an item which is really slanderous to the Jews and then we sue the pants off of her. All information has to be substantiated so it will stick like super glue. She is not a member of a caucus nor is she a member of congress or senate, she is a totally independent entity. Time to mount an attack that will break every fund that she has saved up for a rainy day.
I agree with you 100%
Yes, she denied the Holocaust and what Dr. Joseph Mengele ( may his name be erased) did during the Holocaust in Auschwitz-Birneau, which is very slanderous and a Holocaust denier got sued already in England for it, and the person won against the denier
The Liberty was a spy ship transmitting intelligence on the IDF to the Egyptian military. The liberty should count its blessings that it wasn’t sent directly were it belonged: the bottom of the Mediterranean.
Roi , You made an Excellent point
For Sake of Argument
Even if Israel attacked the
USS Liberty knowing that it was an American Naval Vessel , We can then realize that
Israel had a Very Good Reason for Attacking it , A Very Good Reason to Attack the Liberty
That it was a Very Difficult Painful Decision for Israel to Make , that Israel had No Other Choice . Israel was fighting for it's Survival in the 1967 War . Many people have said that the USS Liberty had no right to be in the Area spying on Israel and giving information to Israel's Genocidal Enemies. That Israel had No Other Choice ,
I disagree. Israel apologized and did not know that it was an American ship. They were not spying on Israel. We are one of israel's strongest allies.
Do you have evidence of this?
I'm waiting for her to attach us to the ice age and global warming.
Be patient,give her time,she'll get to it.
Or say that we killed the Dinosaurs
😂
Unfortunately, students are not taught history.
How many of the teachers in NYC public school system remember Albert Shanker?
How many people know that Chayim Solomon gave money to George Washington to pay his troops in the Revolutionary War? He died a pauper after doing that. Both were Jews. We Jews are always kicked for being generous, creative and inventive. We cannot change the world's opinion as you see in the United Nations and the rest of the world. These bigoted idiots should get rid of their computers, waze, cell phones and anything else that was developed by Jews. Let them all go the Arab countries and see how backward the people are there.
That is part of the problem. when I went to school I learned history
The schools should teach about World War 2 and the Holocaust and what lead to the Holocaust, it is so sad that this generation is ignorant of a important part of history
She betrayed the Jewish people she worked for and associated with, does she get lots of money to spread such vicious lies about Jews and Israel, what is the story with her she was friends with Kanye West too
Some of us believe that she is getting money from Qatar along with Tucker Carlson. She said something about the FBI the other day.I wonder if they are investigating her.
I guess she joined the club of being anti Semitic and anti Israel after 10/ 07/23 they are coming out of the woodwork since the Holocaust years if someone came from the 1930s/1940s they will say it is the atmosphere like it was then it is like living in time warp where they was a lot of anti semitism now some disguise it as anti zionism to me anti semitism and anti zionism is the same thing
Also she tells lies about Israel and feels sorry for the terrorists, I think she also badmouths Judaism and said bad things about the Lubitvitch Rabbi that people go to his burial place The Ohel
You forgot to mention about she denies the Holocaust in some way and likes Hitler(may his name be erased) also and denies what Dr. Joseph Mengele ( may his name be erased) about gruesome experiments, this idiots that are black and love the Nazis( may their name be erased) and maybe other minorities that in the Nazi( may their name be erased) are considered subhuman too, actually there is a whole list they consider inferior to the Aryan race, Candace Owen would also be on the list don't this haters and empty bottles learn about the Holocaust, Nick Canon went to the Rabbi of the center in California to learn about the Holocaust Simon Wisenthal I think that is the name, sadly this new generation knows nothing about the Holocaust and also nothing about World War 2
Depending on how you are brought up.... it's all about what form of indoctrination you were exsposed to. Religous, Ethnic, Environmental, etc. Following G-d's laws is indoctrination, so that we will live a solid, well grounded and purposeful life.
That's a good one!
Isn’t she married to a Jewish man?
No, but he doesn't like her attitude about Jews and her views on the Holocaust and stuff pertaining to that subject
That's her father -in-law.
She’s married to a British Catholic.
No he's Roman catholic. She was anti semitic before that but it's gotten worse. Her father in law has distanced himself from both of them. He doesn't believe in the catholic faith. There's much idolatry, they pray to God thru dead people. They think praying
the rosary is repentance instead of turning away from the sin. The Vatican covers up child pedophilia. When a priest,arch bishop etc. is reported they just moved them to another church.
She’s the result of Horowitz’s’ longstanding habit of shoving his schnoz where it doesn’t belong: radicalizing, weaponizing and manipulating blacks, a habit which he’s addicted to and still hasn’t stopped. She’s stupid and angry and was always looking for an identity and she’s not alone in that. Leave *them* alone and they’ll eventually leave us alone.
Carl - that philosophy you mention - WE'VE BEEN TAUGHT - OVER & OVER - leave them alone - and they'll eventually leave us alone, It hasn't worked for EONS. For the JEWS - there have been 88 MAJOR POGROMS AGAINST JEWS - since the COMMON ERA BEGAN. And - that's not counting - the HUGE AMOUNT of smaller ones. Today - POGROMS & ANTISEMITISM - ts more widespread than ever. The question becomes - WHY? We need to PRAY & ask G-D - our CREATOR - for a CLEAR ANSWER & to SHOW US WHY! PRAY - HE - will CHANGE OUR ENEMIES. AND - give us the TOOLS TO MAKE THE NECESSARY CHANGES - to STOP THEM!
Very artful dodge there! No Horowitz = no Candace and Shapiro overreacted to her, raising her profile to the point that ABC is about to pony-up $400m for her an megyn Kelley to start a show a la CNN crossfire, where Candace will play Pat Buchanan and hammer us and Israel.
As for praying…how do say, “ shtooyot” in Yiddish? Jews have been praying intensely for thousands of years and look…
..and look how we've survived so much things and for so long!
The irony is Jews marched for black civil rights and this is thanks the Jews get hating us, Holocaust denial and loving Hitler( may his name be erased) also denying what Joseph Mengele ( may his name be erased) these minorities would also be on the list why don't these idiots learn about the Holocaust and World War 2 don't people learn history anymore in school
Who is this Horowitz you are talking about?
Are you joking? David Horowitz—not Prager—gave her her start.
I am not joking, I never heard or read this information, usually I read a lot and did not come across this information, what year did this information surface maybe I was to young to know this information
Yes, but who is he?
I never heard about Horowitz , I only heard of George Soros manipulating everything with his ill gotten money they he helped the Nazis( may their name be erased) assets and other things that was looted from the Jews
never heard about Horowitz? He confounded the black panthers before having a change of heart. His son invented the venture capital industry. You’ve never heard of fromtpagemag.org? Horowitz gave Owen’s her start, not Prager, not Shapiro. Shapiro got his start at frontpagemag.
This reminds me about entebbe, Uganda that the country Israel helped build Unganda and then in 1976 there was a hijacking of a plane by Muslim terrorists plus Germans, and held hostages and the terrorists divided the Jews and non Jews, and after the ordeal the Israel I think Air force rescued the Jewish and Israeli hostages, and the brother( obm) of Bibi Netaynau was killed in the operation, they got rescued on July 4, 1976
George Soros is a Hungarian Jew, a survivor like your mother.
Not to be finding reasons for & or condoning her actions - in any way. Often - the reasons for changes in behavior - like hers - means the person wants to ingratiate themselves- to a person - or group - for self gain of some sort - whether it's for acceptance & gaining recognition - money - or a combination of reasons. In counseling some people - I also found that - some people - are reacting - & responding to some perceived insult - that they feel has been - shown toward them by (X). I also have found that - praying to G-D - about a person - or group & asking Him for help in dealing with them & the issues that are concealed - causes G-D - to help with resolution - & bringing about change.
Regarding "She Spread Lies About Israel’s Muslim Quarters" - this claim gets even more ridiculous when you realize there is also a Jewish quarter in the old city! So I guess Jews are only allowed to live there, right Candace?
How is that antisemitic though? She was having another convo with a Jewish person and talked abt what she experienced on her visit to Israel for the first time. She said “they told her” this was the Muslim quarter and only Muslims lived there. Even if that is not the case and someone informed her of that in the podcast, why use that to say she is antisemitic? She allowed that portion of the podcast to air as well, it was a discussion - not her attacking anyone
It’s antisemitic when you re-read her quote. She states this is where Muslims are “allowed” to live. That implies that the Jews are segregating the Muslims when they are not. There’s the antisemitic remark.
It's loud and clear "antisemitic." there is absolutely nothing to debate or second guess.
Her claim was just as there was segregated housing once in America, it's STILL going on in Israel as evidenced by the "segregated" quarters of the Old City.
The irony is that it wasn’t the Jews who created that “segregation” - it was the British, who zoned the area in that way for administrative purposes, based on the demographics of that moment. One can see holes in the doorways of many houses in the Moslem quarter where mezuzot have been removed - showing these were once Jewish homes. Jews have been barred on-and-off from living in the Old City, so I expect that what was “the Jewish quarter” shifted over time; and likewise the rest of the demographics.
By the way, who is giving all those “dislikes”? Looks suspicious to me.
I have been thinking the same thing.
The Jews only got 20% of the land, Jordan which was ancient biblical Israel was the 80% that belonged to the Jews
It is the Muslims that want to make Israel Judenrein( free of Jews) which the Nazis( may their name be erased) did in the 1930s/ 1940s and also murdered Jews in the " final solution", the " final solution" came about when the 2 Amelaks got together the grand mufti of Jerusalem( may his name be erased) a relative of Yasser Arafat( may his name be erased) and the Nazis( may their name be erased) the Muslims gave the Nazis( may their name be erased) the idea to kill the Jews the reason the Muslims wanted to take over Israel, so this big anti semite does not know that information her former boss Ben Shapiro knew this fact and spoke about it
What don't you understand?? to say that Muslims are only allowed to live in one area is something that can cause so much more hate! it is so irresponsible to say something like this! this is not something that you just throw to the world and then say "oops! it was just a misunderstanding!". If it was a mistake of her and she is not antisemitic, as you said, then it was very irresponsible of her to say this!
And now she is accusing the Jews of killing Charlie Kirk. According to her everything that happens in the united states is because of israel or the Jewish people.
Good One.
What a disgrace to journalism this is. Candace never said that Hilter wanted to make Germany great. She was asked a question about nationalism and gave a historical example as to why people often think nationalism is a dirty word due to Hitler. There were other journalists at this event (including Jewish journalists), which happened around 5 years ago, and no one wrote anything about it until recently. Taking out the context of something like this to try and smear someone is very bad journalism and people are waking up to this. We need more REAL journalists like Candace Owens who are brave enough to report on what is actually happening around us and ask the important questions.
And the facts that she is posting baseless rubish in social media doesn't bother you?
"Jews killing Christian children" - does that fall under reporting "what is actually happening around us"?
Being "brave" is not a good thing if she is promoting lies and hate!
Ummm, when and where did she say these words you are quoting? I don’t agree with every opinion she has on some topics but I don’t believe that she spreads lies and hate. I used to think that from reading what people say about her but after actually watching her show and interviews with other people, it is far from what is being said about her by others.
I heard her speak on Piers Morgan’s show and she definitely slandered Jews and Judaism. It would interesting to know from where or what she got her idea that Judaism requires people to be pedophiles?
What did she say on the Piers Morgan show that slandered Judaism? I watched that same exact show and recall her criticizing Israel, not Judaism. She clearly said “Judaism is a faith, Israel is a state and not beyond critique.” As for the other claim, she was covering the fact that many Jewish pedophiles flee the US to Israel to avoid prosecution. Her sources were The Times of Israel, CBS and other news agencies that covered the same topic. She wasn’t covering that topic to slander Judaism, she was covering it to show how American tax payer money is going towards a country that won’t extradite these fleeing criminals back to the US or prosecute them.
That is the old blood libel that Jews kill Christian children to bake matzohs in reality Jews have to salt the meat from blood, broil the liver from blood, and when there is a blood spot in the egg the Jewish person as to throw out the egg, the Christians could be eating blood but Jews are not allowed to consume blood, what irony Jews don't use blood when eating in reality it is the opposite, is she in the middle ages or something even Moshe Montifore and a president refuted this primitive libel and slander against Jews she is very backwards then with all her education
I can't believe people still believe in this rubbish, in 2025 we are not in the middle ages
This believe is called a blood libel against Jews, there were stories about this accusation before in Jewish history, read up about it in Jewish history I can't believe people that think that in 2025, I guess her mind set is in the middle ages
She is not brave, if she promotes lies and hate, someone is brave when they stand up against lies and hate, and" Never Again" also Am Yisrael Chai
Her defenders are brainwashed.
It doesn't take much to see that this 'quote' was an underhanded dig at President Trump (a uniquely great friend to Jews and Israel) and his agenda to make America Great Again. I hope the author merely sourced it from somewhere and didn't fabricate it herself...I hope...
We learn from Chanukah that Jews csn be the worst enemies of Jews, supporting those who hate us. You are an example of this.
Actually, in the time of the Chanukah story there were two types of Jews 1 that adhere to Greek culture the hellinists and the other 1 Macbees that fought for religious freedom. there was I think a civil war between the Jews that wanted to assimilate and the Jews that wanted to keep Judaism, it is nothing knew there is a saying in our books I think the worst enemies will come from ourselves unfortunately this saying seemed to be very true
Is anon mean anonymous? The person does not even give his name for all you know he could a enemy of the Jewish people sometimes people are infiltars or trolls and maybe he isn't even Jewish, I can't believe some Jews are that dumb
