Max Blumenthal implies that the affluence of American Jews undermines the justification for the existence of the State of Israel... Candace jumps right in and appears to endorse this opinion. Is she going full anti-Semitic justifying her propping up of a rapper she has befriended? Is supporting Israel really just another form of 'political correctness' or grievance mongering? Interested in your opinions.

Guess I missed it when it became mandatory to love any group of people.
Opinions no longer allowed.
I’m not falling for any of this crap. Just another attempted takedown of Republicans.
I want free speech for all.
Yeah because conservatives hate Israel and always have right? No?
How so? By making conservatives appear antisemitic or by making them appear slavish to the State of Israel? As far as I know both parties declare their support of Israel on paper. Christian conservatives tend to be more supportive on scriptural grounds (bless those who bless you, curse those, etc..)...
So, Max Blumenthal, A Jew, states that as a wealthy American Jew living among a large population of wealthy American Jews, he is not oppressed and does not need a Jewish homeland. This statement is not anti-Semitic to any sane person. Candace doesn’t even agree with this benign statement! She just warns him that he will be attacked for making just like when she, as a black person, said something bad about BLM. People who are actually oppressed have no power. People who you are not ALLOWED to criticize do have power and are using it to try to oppress YOU.
And I somewhat doubt Candace is consciously supporting antisemitism here. There are a lot of American Jews who do not support the State of Israel... Blumenthal appears to be one of them. What I find concerning is this: Will blacks as they enter the conservative ranks be bringing this antisemitism along with them?
Nothing is mandatory, but it is dumb to step into highly polarizing issues three days before the election. Have you noticed the hundred times a day lefty journalists try to get republicans to say they will cut social security when the take control? Time for ppl to just shut up and vote.
It’s helpful to state what was actually said. I do not disagree with Candace, when you really think about it.
Max Blumenthal
We White American Jews are living through a golden age of power, affluence and safety
Acceptance of this welcome reality threatens the entire Zionist enterprise, from lobby fronts like the ADL to the State of Israel, because Zionism relies on Jewish insecurity to justify itself
Candace Owens replies
You are about to get into a lot of trouble for stating this.
Reminds me of when I said something similar about the NAACP and BLM way back when.
When you disrupt the trauma economy and call out the not-for-profits that benefit from it, you become their next target.
Just as it has been since May of 1948, the State and status of Israel remains a hot button issue. Be careful Candace. Be cautious getting pulled into this debate just to make news.
Good read... though I don’t know how the statement can be read as pro-Israel... and of course no one is required to be... It does seem to suggest that Israel is no longer needed since Jews in Manhattan are doing just fine...
Yeah. Hey...
It looks like someone is ripping off your letters.
P-E-O-P-L-E.
I mean what you've got there could be Paypal or Papal or Pooplove or any damned thing.
Candace does tie in Blumenthal’s tweet with her own stand against American grievance culture.. but I’ll stipulate your point that she doesn’t actually endorse Blumenthal’s opinion. btw: I really like Candace, or I wouldn’t have taken the bother to discuss this...
So if Candace implies that ‘supporting Israel is just another example of grievance culture’ you’re A-OK with that? I pretty much always support Candace so I don’t know what you think I’ve posted before that is “nonsense”.. but whatever floats your boat....
Read post # 11.
1. They have, on average, higher IQs and therefore excel in pursuits such as the law, science, business, the arts, etc. (But then there's this other group that has, on average, lower IQs and are therefore underrepresented in these same fields, but we aren't allowed to notice that.)
2. They have a culture which emphasizes education and moral behavior which leads to greater success. (But then there are these other cultures which actively oppose education and are cynical regarding moral behavior leading to more imprisonment than success and we aren't allowed to notice that.)
3. They are more supportive of one another, and in a world where it's more about who you know than what you know this leads to greater success for all of them. (But that sort of reasoning is stereotypical and leads to accusations of nepotism and conspiracy so that is not allowed to be the answer.)
4. They are still God's Chosen People. (But we are all atheists now, and there is no god, or else God has now selected American Protestants as the new Chosen People, so that can't be it.)
How TO explain Jewish overrepresentation in important sectors of our economy and culture:
Oh, is that so? That can't be right. How interesting if true.
I did... and agreed with most of it. There is a reason I presented this as an ‘express your opinion’ thread... I don’t have a strong opinion on it, what concerns me is that others will interpret it as antisemitic and use it against MAGA... The State of Israel is not above criticism nor are ‘Jews’ in the abstract.... but we don’t need to invite reproach for opinions we don’t even hold.
