Another video has been making the rounds on social media appears to show Daily Wire founding editor Ben Shapiro slamming his colleague Candace Owens for her “disgraceful” commentary on the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.
“The question is about Candace Owens,” acknowledges Shapiro at the start of the video before declaring “I think her behavior during this has been disgraceful, without a doubt.”
His next few words were mostly drowned out by the audience, but he did grudgingly acknowledge that Owens “still works at my company” before again turning his attention to her views on Israel.
“I think that her faux sophistication on these particular issues has been ridiculous,” continued Shapiro who expressed his displeasure with her “disreputable” statements.
Owens has been criticized by many conservatives and pro-Israel activists for her rhetoric over the last month and change, including a not-so-subtle social media post suggesting that Israel was committing a genocide in the Gaza Strip.
In an episode of her show devoted to defending herself from the charges of anti-Semitism that followed her post, Owens was corrected by Jewish comedian Ami Kozak, who was utterly befuddled by her claim that Muslims in Jerusalem are only allowed to lived in the “Muslim quarters” and her subsequent argument that Israel was therefore not a “bastion of freedom.”
Kozak informed Owens that she was mistaking a historical ethnic neighborhood, the Muslim Quarter, for a ghetto. While over 300,000 Muslims live in Jerusalem, the Muslim Quarter has a total population of somewhere around 22,000.
