Candace Owens has built a platform by spreading dangerous misinformation about Israel and the Jewish people. Facts matter, especially when falsehoods fuel antisemitism.
By her own admission, Owens has recently become “obsessed with Jews” spreading antisemitic propaganda to her listeners under the guise of “telling the truth”. But how true are her claims?
Christians must reject lies and stand boldly with Israel.
CLAIM: “Mengele’s Holocaust experiments are bizarre propaganda.”
(Owens said this in July 2024.)
FACT: Josef Mengele’s medical experiments are among the most thoroughly documented crimes of the 20th century.
EVIDENCE:
- Nuremberg Doctors’ Trial Records include testimony from survivors, Nazi doctor confessions, and thousands of pages of documentary evidence.
Source: Nuremberg Military Tribunals, “The Doctors’ Trial” - U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum has extensive archival evidence, including photographs, logs, and testimonies.
Source: USHMM – “Josef Mengele” - Yad Vashem archives contain firsthand testimonies of twins who survived Mengele’s experiments.
Source: Yad Vashem, “Mengele’s Crimes”
CONCLUSION: denying or minimizing nazi medical crimes is a form of holocaust revisionism, considered antisemitic by the IHRA.
#2
CLAIM: “Israel or Jews were behind 9/11.”
Owens has referenced or amplified this conspiracy in interviews and on social media.
FACT:
Every authoritative investigation found no connection whatsoever between Israel, Jewish groups, or any Jewish individuals and the 9/11 attacks.
EVIDENCE:
- 9/11 Commission Report (U.S. Gov’t, 2004):
567 pages of investigation — no involvement by Israel or Jewish groups. - FBI Records:
Zero evidence of Israeli or Jewish participation.
(Declassified FOIA documents show no ties.) - Al-Qaeda’s own statements & captured documents explicitly detail their planning and motivation.
CONCLUSION: The “jews did 9/11” narrative is a long-running antisemitic conspiracy theory, holding “the jews” to blame for any disaster or calamity that has existed for centuries.
#3
CLAIM: “Israel intentionally targets civilians in Gaza.”
Owens frequently frames IDF strikes as deliberate civilian attacks or “genocide.”
FACT:
Every major Western military, intelligence agency, and independent legal review finds no evidence that Israel intentionally targets civilians.
EVIDENCE:
- U.S. Department of Defense: Calls Israel’s precautions “more extensive than those of any modern military.”
Source: DoD briefings, 2023–2024 - UK Ministry of Defence Analysis: Israel warns civilians via leaflets, texts, phone calls — a practice unique among modern militaries
- Col. Richard Kemp (UK Forces Commander): “The IDF does more to safeguard civilians than any army in the history of warfare.”
Source: UN Human Rights Council testimony - Hamas Charter & Leaders: Hamas embeds itself in civilian areas intentionally.
Source: Hamas Charter; IDF intelligence; U.S. State Department designation
CONCLUSION: Civilian casualties in Gaza are tragic — but caused by Hamas’s use of human shields, not Israeli intent.
#4
CLAIM: “BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanction) is just ordinary criticism of Israel; opposing it is censorship.”
FACT:
BDS leadership openly states that their goal is not policy change but the dismantling of the State of Israel.
EVIDENCE:
- BDS co-founder Omar Barghouti: “We oppose a Jewish state in any part of Palestine.”
Source: New York Times, 2013 - ADL: BDS singles out Israel alone among all nations, refuses to accept Jewish self-determination, and often overlaps with antisemitic movements.
- German Parliament (Bundestag): Formally declared BDS antisemitic because it mirrors Nazi-era boycotts.
Source: Bundestag Resolution, 2019
CONCLUSION: Opposition to BDS is based on its eliminationist goals, not on blocking legitimate criticism of Israeli policy.

CLAIM: “A small group of political Jews control U.S. policy.”
This mirrors classical “global Jewish control” rhetoric.
FACT:
There is no evidence that Jewish groups secretly control American political decisions. This trope resembles the same antisemitic themes found in The Protocols of the Elders of Zion—a proven fabrication.
EVIDENCE:
- ADL Reports: Explain how claims of Jewish political domination mirror historic antisemitic conspiracy theories.
Source: ADL – “The Myth of Jewish Control” - IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism: Identifies accusations of Jewish conspiratorial power as antisemitic.
Source: International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) - U.S. Political Science Research: Legislative behavior correlates with public opinion, interest groups across all sectors (labor, energy, finance), and party platforms — not Jewish identity.
Source: Congressional Research Service
CONCLUSION: This claim is not a foreign policy critique — it is a textbook antisemitic conspiracy.
