LISTEN TO Candace Owens TALK About Neturei Karta and Antisemitism
Candace Owens, a black conservative with a history of sympathizing with antisemites, has done it again. Owens made multiple offensive comments and implied age-old antisemitic tropes.
At best, she displayed her sheer ignorance about basic Judaism, and at worst, she expressed heavily anti-Jewish sentiments, falsely claiming that Neturei Karta represent mainstream Charedim, Israel forces Muslims to live in ghettos, and Jews themselves are responsible for antisemitism.

Owens, who works for Ben Shapiro’s Daily Wire, interviewed Jewish comedian and musician Ami Kozak. The topic, according to Owens’ own podcast description, was ‘the Israel / Palestine conflict and whether or not antisemitism is being weaponized in order to silence critics and bully people into compliance’.
As one Twitter user, who posted the videos, described: ‘Owens shows profound ignorance when speaking on the Neturei Karta. Comparing Jews against Israel to herself as a black woman on the right. She then asks Kozak if Jewish people are to blame when it comes to the uptick in antisemitism.’
Owens invoked Neturei Karta as an example that ‘Charedim’ are opposed to Israel as a Jewish state, and that the right to Israel is political but not Biblical.
Kozak replied by comparing NK to token white leftists at a BLM rally, who are used as pawns to claim that BLM represents the belief of mainstream whites.
Fetterman Plasters His Senate Office Walls With Hamas Hostage Posters
AT THE END OF THE DAY, HE STILL HAS A JEWISH HEART!

The House voted late Tuesday to censure Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan — the only Palestinian American in Congress — an extraordinary rebuke of her rhetoric about the Israel-Hamas war.
The 234-188 tally came after enough Democrats joined with Republicans to censure Tlaib, a punishment one step below expulsion from the House. The three-term congresswoman has long been a target of criticism for her views on the decades-long conflict in the Middle East.
The debate on the censure resolution on Tuesday afternoon was emotional and intense. Republican Rep. Rich McCormick of Georgia pushed the measure in response to what he called Tlaib’s promotion of antisemitic rhetoric. He said she has “levied unbelievable falsehoods about our greatest ally, Israel, and the attack on October 7.”
With other Democrats standing by her side, Tlaib defended her stance, saying she “will not be silenced and I will not let you distort my words.” She added that her criticism of the Jewish state has always been directed toward its government and its leadership under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“It is important to separate people and government,” she said. “The idea that criticizing the government of Israel is antisemitic sets a very dangerous precedent. And it’s been used to silence diverse voices speaking up for human rights across our nation.”

‘MSNBC’ host Ali Velshi’s rabid, reckless anti-Israel rant
On April 30, MSNBC host Ali Velshi delivered a lengthy rant against the Jewish state that was as dishonest as it was rabid. The monologue was riddled with false statements and exaggerations that betray Velshi’s willingness to twist the facts to fit his preferred narrative.
During the segment, Velshi claimed: “The map of the Palestinian Authority, sometimes described as Swiss cheese, has been carved up by Israel over the past century.”
The P.A. did not exist until 1994, a mere 28 years ago, so the reference to the “past century” is erroneous. Furthermore, the P.A. was created under the Oslo Accords, a mutual agreement between the State of Israel and the Palestinian Liberation Organization. It is under these same agreements that the current map of the P.A.’s various levels of autonomy (Areas A, B and C) was agreed to via negotiations. To claim that Israel “carved up” the territory controlled by the P.A. is false.
IN BEIT SHEMESH AND OTHER CHAREIDIE NEIGHBORHOODS Ultra-Orthodox JEWS form local defense groups
The October 7th massacres in southwestern Israel carried many somber lessons – one of which was that vulnerable communities need rigorous preparation and defense strategies in place for potential terrorist attacks.
In response, 20 ultra-Orthodox communities throughout the country have started a program called Mishmar Ha’Am – The People’s Guard, to ensure protection and defense in case of sudden attacks.
This joint project of the Hareidi Institute of Public Affairs and Achim L’Oref enlists the aid of Hashomer Hachadash – a volunteer group helping to defend farms and ranches – in the training of volunteers in defense techniques with and without weapons and to assist with procuring weapons licenses for guards and trained participants.
According to program director and head of Defense Forces Patrol, Roni Ayalon Hirsch, ultra-Orthodox communities have up until now been seen as less protected and therefore, as vulnerable targets for terrorists.
In communities like Beitar Illit, there are as many as 2,000 citizens who have gun licenses but require training on how to properly use their weapons.
The program is leveraging the experience of ultra-Orthodox Israelis who have served in the armed forces and who have assisted police in the past to train volunteers in defense and to inform the public on how to react during terrorist attacks.
Uri Arbis, who set up and manages a security group in Jerusalem’s Ramat Shlomo neighborhood, told Ynet: “The vast majority want to volunteer, even those who cannot draw a weapon. We want to be independent, so that even if the police don’t come, as happened in the south, we won’t be like sheep to the slaughter. All the rabbis in the neighborhood are very supportive.”
Mishmar Ha’Am has already received an enthusiastic response and has set up centers in Jerusalem’s Har Nof and Ramat Shlomo neighborhoods, the towns of Givat Zeev, Beit Shemesh, and Rekhashim; along with ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods in Haifa and other cities.
It is also noteworthy that the Rebbe of the Hasidic dynasty of Viznitz has requested the establishment of the program in his Bnei Brak community.
NYC teacher indoctrinates preschoolers to hate Israel
A New York City pre-school teacher is instructing parents how to inculcate their young children with hatred of Israel and support Palestinian terrorism, The New York Post reported Saturday.
Siriana Abboud, who teaches in PS59 in midtown Manhattan, is also the founder of the online Allusio Academy, where she provides curricula, workshops and consultations on how to indoctrinate four-year-olds with the Palestinian canard that Israelis are outsiders who have stolen the Arabs’ land and are engaging in genocide.
“These teach-ins are a safe space for you and your child to learn about the Palestinian struggle for freedom,” she writes on her sign-up sheet.
