    Candace Owens has started denying the Holocaust and claims that Jews shot JFK - she left the Daily Wire . Alex Jones has been having Nick Fuentes on and saying all kinds of fucked up shit - teasing at blood libel and calling out big name conservative Jewish commentators like Ben Shapiro.

    It’s actually a huge split in the alt right. There’s the ones that are pro-Israel because they’re killing Muslims/weird Christian eschatology reasons, and the ones that are pro-Palestine because they hate Jews more than Muslims. Actual antisemitism is on the rise, even if groups like the ADL have been trying to muddy the waters by pretending that criticism of the genocide is antisemitic.

      I did not know this was going on and I’m glad the right is facing chaos. Thanks for being among the most respectful, detailed, and objective respondents here. These unbelievably disrespectful comments have not been a pleasant experience as I’m a non-conservative who reluctantly works in a largely conservative workplace, where there has not been a single anti-Jewish statement but instead only full support of basically literally everything that Israel does and has been doing. The people at my very public-facing workplace have been strongly anti-protest to the point of “Deport all pro-Hamas,” so this is all news to me. (Yes, I’ve tried to leave this job, like, 10x… it’s not that easy these days, sadly.)

        You keep conflating anti-zionism with antisemitism, which is itself antisemitic.

        While conflating the two, your comments will come off as conservative
