In a recent development, far-right commentator Candace Owens has officially ended her association with the right-wing news outlet, Daily Wire, following growing tensions surrounding allegations of antisemitism and her opposition to US funding of Israel's war in Gaza. The announcement was made by Jeremy Boreing, co-founder of Daily Wire alongside fellow commentator Ben Shapiro, who has been at odds with Owens over her views on Israel.

Taking to social media, Owens confirmed the news and expressed her sense of liberation, stating, "The rumors are true - I am finally free." She also revealed her plans to continue her online commentary show on YouTube after a brief hiatus.

Owens has faced criticism for her outspoken stance against US support for Israel. Additionally, she has made questionable comments, referring to "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." These remarks led to strong condemnation from Ben Shapiro, who labeled them as "absolutely disgraceful."

Further controversy arose when Owens liked a post on social media, questioning whether a well-known rabbi, Shmuley Boteach, was "drunk on Christian blood again." Such actions drew the attention of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), an organization dedicated to combatting antisemitism. The ADL shared a report from progressive watchdog Media Matters, which highlighted praise from Holocaust denier and white supremacist Nick Fuentes towards Owens, claiming she was waging "a full-fledged war against the Jews."

In response, the ADL expressed concern over the alliance of bigoted individuals rallying behind an antisemitic agenda, stating, "when bigoted people come together to push an antisemitic agenda, it adds fuel to the fire of hate."

Owens, on her part, distanced herself from Fuentes, asserting that she had no connection with him. She accused the ADL of conducting a smear campaign against her and claimed that her criticisms were directed at the practice of American taxpayers funding wars, including those involving Israel.

The departure of Candace Owens from the Daily Wire, a prominent right-wing news outlet, signifies the deep divisions within the conservative movement regarding Israel and the rising concerns surrounding her alleged antisemitic rhetoric. This incident also highlights the ongoing battle against hate speech and the significance of organizations like the ADL in combating such ideologies.
