These claims are not just ignorant; they're recklessly malicious. As Iran grapples with one of its most profound uprisings since the 1979 Revolution, with over 2,500 confirmed deaths and thousands more arrested amid a brutal crackdown, Owens' denialism isn't mere commentary, it's a grotesque insult to the victims and a blatant embrace of antisemitic tropes that have no place in civil discourse.
In her twisted worldview, the real villains aren't the mullahs executing protesters; it's Israel, always Israel, lurking in the shadows.
This isn't "mind yoga," as Owens once quipped about conspiracy theories; it's intellectual poison. Her claims about Israel threatening her or Tucker Carlson, or likening Jewish influence to a "Zionist elephant in the room," reveal a paranoia that borders on the pathological. Critics from across the spectrum, including the ADL's Jonathan Greenblatt, have rightly called her out for spewing hatred without evidence. Even in MAGA circles, where isolationism runs deep, her anti-Israel fixation is increasingly seen as a liability, clashing with broader support for the U.S.-Israel alliance.
As the world watches Iran's brave citizens risk everything for change, Owens chooses to side with denial and division. It's time her audience wakes up: Following her down this rabbit hole of antisemitism and conspiracy doesn't lead to enlightenment; it leads to darkness.
