Conservative commentator Candace Owens has ignited a firestorm of controversy following a viral appearance on Tucker Carlson’s podcast, where she launched a series of inflammatory remarks against the state of Israel.

In the now widely circulated video, Owens accuses Israel of orchestrating global evil, calling it a “demonic nation” and claiming it was responsible for the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

“I don’t think we’ve been a sovereign nation since they shot JFK,” Owens said, before clarifying, “When I say ‘they,’ I’m talking about Israel.”

She went on to describe the nation as having “gone mask down” and alleged that it is guilty of a “starvation campaign” against children. “I want nothing to do with it. I will never support Israel into the future,” she declared.

Owens also urged Jewish Americans to reconsider their support for Israel, claiming they have been “propagandized into believing they have to support this demonic state.”

The remarks drew immediate backlash from faith leaders, including Dumisani Washington, CEO of the Institute for Black Solidarity with Israel. CBN’s Raj Nair and Washington called Owens’ rhetoric dangerous.

“There’s no evidence that Israel had anything to do with the death of JFK,” Washington said. “This is the kind of unhinged rhetoric we hear from leaders like the Ayatollah of Iran, who has also called Israel a cancer.”

Nair went on to address the theological contradictions in Owens’ stance, noting that many of those who proclaim “Christ is King” may not realize they’re acknowledging the kingship of a Jewish Messiah. READ MORE
