How Candace Owens Is Wrong About Israel and the Jews

Though I’m not here to defend Dennis Prager or represent him in general, I largely agree with where he’s coming from in this important matter. As well, I’ve had considerable respect for Candace Owens on many issues, but on this topic, I’m disgusted with her. Concerning “Zionism,” she’s uneducated, presumptuous, and frankly foolish to be speaking of matters she’s so provably ignorant about, Biblically, historically, socially, racially, and yes, most importantly, spiritually.

Candace is very wrong. Her conduct and stance in these matters is abominable to God. She is someone who has acquired much public respect by espousing many things she had been right about, but concerning Israel and Jews, she is so wrong, so very wrong. Speaking of error and misinformation, she misleads many. She needs to repent of her destructive, careless, irresponsible behavior. With it, intentionally or otherwise, she does much damage to many people, Jew and Gentile alike. God is not pleased with her.

Somewhere, somehow, something has seriously soured with Candace. Have fame, success, fortune, pride, and arrogance taken her over? Whatever it is, it is bad, very unfortunate.

Therefore, I would like to affirm the substantial validity of Dennis Prager’s critique of Candace Owens, substantiated with factual information to counter her dangerous and ungodly opinions concerning Jews and Israel.

My Letter to Candace Owens
Dennis Prager

On September 4, 2024, I sent this letter to Candace Owens regarding many comments she has made about Jews, Zionism and Israel. I have known Candace for about as long as she has been in public life. She began her podcasting at PragerU in 2019 and left in 2021. She left on very good terms. To this day, she often speaks of her respect and love for Marissa Streit, CEO of PragerU, and me.

Within hours of receiving my letter, Candace replied:

“I deeply appreciate this e-mail and I will respond to it thoroughly. Please know that I respect you tremendously and it is difficult for me to reconcile how I feel about you and Marissa and the amazing way in which I was treated by you both, and my new feelings and understanding about Zionism. Please give me a bit of time to respond to all of your points. You can always reach out to me and no matter which side of this or any political debate we wind up on, my love and respect for you and Marissa and your treatment of me will never be swayed.”

As it happens, more than two weeks later, Candace had not responded to the letter. Given the number of subjects covered, the letter’s length, and Candace’s busy family life and career, I did not expect her to. I sent it to Candace to give her the chance to respond and because I did not want her to first see it when it went public.

Last week, after not hearing from her, I emailed Candace that I would be publishing the letter. We then spoke on the phone, she briefly explained why she hadn’t been able to respond in writing, and she in no way objected to my making the letter public.

I wish I did not have to write this letter. But Candace has said many things that need to be answered. The primary reasons I have not spoken out sooner are that I needed to become fully acquainted with all or nearly all the things she has said about Jews, Zionism, and Israel, make sure I quoted her accurately, and that I never did so out of context. That was time-consuming work.

I ask anyone who has been influenced by Candace with regard to Jews, Israel, and Zionism to make the effort to read this entire letter. If you care about truth, I believe you have a moral obligation to do so.
