Study Finds: Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens dramatically increased Israel focus in recent months

A think tank over in Jerusalem called the Jewish People Policy Institute (JPPI) just dropped a study claiming that Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens have gone full-on obsessed with Israel, cranking up the negative chatter big time this year. And for Owens, they're saying it's veered into straight-up antisemitic territory. Shocking, not so much. It's almost as if Owens and Carlson are beholden to the likes of radical Islam.

The study, which used some fancy AI to sift through thousands of their YouTube videos, found that these two formerly right-wing sellouts have "significantly increased their focus on Israel" in recent months, with a "marked escalation" in the anti-Israel rhetoric.

Over the past six months, mentions of Israel, Jews, and even Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shot up way more than talk about other hot-button issues like the Ukraine war, China, or Iran. Israel turned into a "central, and at times dominant," topic for both, Owens kicking it off in February, Carlson piling on in August (or April, depending on which report you read, but you get the idea).

On the tone front, JPPI's AI crunched the numbers and said Tucker's negative Israel content jumped sharply in the last half of the year. For Owens, over 96% of her Israel references were already negative, and she apparently loves that "harsh and hostile language."

The big shift was mostly about volume, just a whole lot more negative content flooding out, including stuff like comparing Israel to Hamas, throwing around "genocide," claiming deliberate child-killing, and pushing conspiracy theories about Israeli or Jewish control over the U.S. government.

Now, the study didn't pin "explicit and consistent" anti-Semitism on Carlson per the IHRA definition. But they dinged him hard for giving a big, uncritical platform to outright antisemites and Holocaust deniers like Nick Fuentes, without pushing back much. So while Carlson isn't a 'technical Jew-hater,' he appears to be an implicit one.

Owens, however, was way more direct. They found 45% of her videos mentioning Jews had an anti-Semitic slant early in the year, doubling to about 75% in recent months. That included generalizations calling Jews a "cult," pushing "Jewish supremacy" claims, accusations of control, deceit, and manipulation, plus dismissing anti-Semitism charges as a "Zionist diversion tactic."

JPPI's big takeaway concluded that this isn't just far-left fringe nonsense anymore; it's seeping into the populist right and MAGA world via big influencers. Terms like "genocide" that used to be lefty staples are now popping up on the right.

"Even on the American far Right, anti-Semitism is already visible, and 'on the table,'" said JPPI Director-General Shuki Friedman.

"The data should serve as a glaring warning light for Israel and the Israeli leadership regarding the support it can mobilize from the right, today and certainly in the future. Only decisive action that provides a counterweight to this extremism can preserve this vital base of support in the US," he added.

Look, nobody's saying free speech should get shut down, but when influential voices start sounding like echoes from the fever swamps, it's worth keeping an eye on. Especially as we head into whatever fresh chaos 2026 has in store. In the meantime, raise a glass to truth-tellers who aren't afraid to ruffle feathers — and let's hope the new year brings more clarity than conspiracy.

If you like Brain Flushings and want to Buy Me a Coffee, I would appreciate it, as it supports my work and my coffee drinking habit. Obviously, there is no pressure but I certainly wouldn't stop you from doing me that solid. I hope you have a happy, healthy New Year.

Candace Owens to headline Trump fundraiser: WTH?

Two anti-Semites jumping on the bed, one fell down and hit his head

I don't know what Donald Trump Jr. is thinking. He is preparing to headline his father's campaign 

fundraiser on Friday in Nashville, TN. Featured at the event is prominent far-right pundit and anti-Semite Candace Owens. 

This cannot be good for the Trump campaign, having Owens who recently amplified the ancient worn out blood libel against Jews, downplayed the Holocaust and defended Nick Fuentes, a disgusting white nationalist,  among other racist remarks.

Owens is an ardent Trump supporter who had worked for the Daily Wire but eventually was let go due to her anti-Semitic rhetoric which didn't sit well with founder Ben Shapiro, an orthodox Jew. She had served as a weekday host but pressure mounted as her antisemitic rhetoric and empty headed criticism of Israel bubbled up like a puss pimple after the Oct. 7 attacks on Israelis. 

So Don Junior has a scheduled appearance with the brazen Jew hater on Friday, while the former President's daughter and son-in-law, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, have appeared to publicly distance themselves from Trump.

And while I don't see any evidence whatsoever that the former President is an anti-Semite or anti-Zionist, [all evidence points to the contrary], there is clear evidence that some in the GOP harbor anti-Jewish sentiment such as Marjorie Taylor Greene, who suggested California wildfires were caused by space lasers controlled by a Jewish banking family.  And the lieutenant gov. of North Carolina, Mark Robinson, invoked anti-Semitic stereotypes, hinted at Holocaust denial, and downplayed the Nazi atrocities.

Of course, Trump invited some Jewish students to speak at the convention as well. And let us not kid ourselves: the Democratic Party has a butt-load of anti-Semites compared to the GOP.

I just don't know what Don Jr. was thinking. Candace Owens is a disgraceful wretched woman.

Former KKK grand wizard is a pro-Hamasshole

Former KKK racist David Dickweed Duke

David Dickweed Duke [she, he, it], the former Ku Klux Klan chief racist, says that he is supporting anti-Semitic protesters who, he thinks, will “save us from Jewish supremacism.”

And now pro-Hamas cretins are being called out on social media for having common ground with the white supremacist group KKK after Dickweed Duke showed up to support extremists at a convention in Detroit.

Duke, 73, even refers to himself as a white supremacist and ex-Grand Wizard of the KKK. He  was attending the far-right America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC) led by another white supremacist, anal sphincter, and Holocaust denier Nicholas Fuentes.

However, the event was abruptly called off after staff at the event space told Fuentes that he wasn’t welcome. 

Meanwhile, Duke shared his thoughts on the pro-Palestinian marches with political commentator and undercover journalist Cam Higby. Duke said, “I support Nick and all his work … and all the people who are working to save our country and save us from Jewish supremacism. We’re being genocided just like the Palestinians.”

Duke also hates black people but many of them don't care and share in his hatred of Jews, who are guilty of doing nothing to earn their hatred.

When asked if he is friends with Fuentes, Duke replies, “I consider him a comrade in the fight for our people.” It's rumored that both Duke and Fuentes dress up as Adolf Hitler and tickle each other with fake mustaches in places now being advertised about by underwear and shaver companies.

And many X users warned that anti-Israel/anti-Semitic activists should be concerned that they have shared goals with a member of the KKK, but they are too ignorant to care.

The National Jewish Assembly tweeted: “If David Duke is on your side, you know you are on the wrong side.”

Joining the former Grand Wizard at the event were pro-Hamas activists on X including MMA fighter and white supremacist supporter Jake Shields, Suleiman Ahmed and Lucas Gage.

These people are equal opportunity haters. They hate Jews, blacks, Hispanics, Catholics, Hindus, basically all brown-skin people, all other Asians, and water.

Life-long Democrat becomes a Republican: "The Democratic Party has become so radicalized"

A life-long New York Democrat and Assemblyman from the 48th District, Dov Hikind announced on Thursday that he and his wife would be registering as Republicans because his former party has become unhinged. He even hinted that he might make a possible run for office.

Hikind had been involved for decades in New York politics and has a powerful influence in New York's Orthodox Jewish electorate. He represented the 48 Assembly District from 1983-2018, in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Borough Park, one of the largest Orthodox Jewish communities in the world.

Now he says the Democratic Party no longer reflects his values as they have become radicalized.

“Unfortunately, the Democratic Party has become so radicalized,” Hikind said in a video posted on Twitter, his wife Shani at his side. “People who are moderates or conservative Democrats are not welcomed in the Democratic Party, Shani, and I’ve had enough. The Democratic Party turns its back on its friends, like Israel, the Biden administration, right now in policy after policy. I’m just tired. I’ve had enough.”

Asked if he intended to run for office, Hikind replied, “we shall see.” This likely means "yes" in polito-speak.

Hikind was a registered Democrat his entire voting life, but had endorsed only Republicans for the presidency since 2004. Although he did not endorse former President Trump in 2016, he did endorse him in 2020 but would not endorse him again after Trump hosted Kanye [Ye] West, an overt scumcrumpet anti-Semite [my term, not Hikind's] and the Holocaust denier and alt-right crap weasel Nick Fuentes, for a dinner at his Mar-a-Lago club last year.

Hikind is not alone in switching parties. The New York Orthodox community as a whole has become disenchanted with the left and their anti-Semitic rhetoric and anti-Israel sentiments [but I repeat myself].

The New York Jewish community with large Orthodox populations in Brooklyn's  Borough Park, Crown Heights and Williamsburg neighborhoods, has finally awakened [not 'wokened'] to the leftist's racist sentiments and voted overwhelmingly for Lee Zeldin in the 2022 gubernatorial election, making it the best performance by a Republican candidate for governor in 20 years.

GOP vote to condemn anti-Semitism, Fuentes, Ye and some Dems

The Republican National Committee overwhelmingly voted over the weekend to condemn Kanye West and white nationalist Nick "The Dick" Fuentes, two disgusting anti-Semites. This comes just two months after former President Donald Trump had the boys over at Mar-a-Lago dinner

The resolution was filed by California's committeeman for the Republican National Committee Shawn Steel, who said he does not want a handful of extreme figures to represent the totality of the Republican Party. 

The resolution was approved on the final day of the RNC winter meeting in Orange County, California, and although the resolution was careful not to mention Trump by name, particularly since he announced his candidacy for president in late November, the two clowns he had over to his mansion were mentioned. 

Both Kanye [who now goes by the easier to spell "Ye"] and Fuentes were both condemned for rhetoric that is "contrary to American and Republican principles," and according to initial drafts, would "formally condemn, denounce, censure and oppose all forms of bigotry, racism, ethnic prejudice, religious intolerance, anti-Semitism, anti-Semitic statements, and any anti-Semitic elements that seek to infiltrate the Republican Party."

This comes after a string of clear anti-Semitic comments made by the rapper, Ye, in which he said "the Jewish media has made us feel like the Nazis and [Adolf] Hitler have never offered anything of value to the world… we’ve got to stop dissing the Nazis all of the time."

Ye would have been standing naked, holding hands with a Jew in the gas chamber if he were caught in Nazi Germany at the time of Hitler.

Fuentes, a schmuck who is a known Holocaust denier, had his Twitter account suspended last week after he not only praised Hitler, but also domestic terrorist Ted Kaczynski, known as the Unabomber, who killed three people and injured more than 20 others during his 17-year mail-bombing campaign from 1978 to 1995.

The resolution also went after a couple of low-lifes on the left, specifically Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI).

Omar, a Somalia-born Muslim who married her brother, then another guy, then her campaign manager, is an overt anti-Semite whose rhetoric contained anti-Semitic tropes about Jews and money and other anti-Zionist statements and has opposed Israeli policy toward Palestinians.

Tlaib, for her part has also made derogatory statements against Israel, and now she proudly displays a Palestinian flag alongside the American flag, in her office.

The Democrats refused to openly condemn these scumcrumpets.

YAF fires Michelle Malkin for supporting Holocaust denier

Nick Fuentes is an anti-Semitic, white supremacist bigot whose admirers are no different. In 2017 he took part in the Charlottesville rally known as "Unite the Right." It probably should have replaced the word "right" with "white."

Following the rally, Fuentes praised the "tidal wave of white identity." On his video Internet program America First, he has denied the Holocaust and called for the return to racial segregation saying, "Even if it was bad, who cares?" referring to the Jim Crow laws of the south.

Since October, Fuentes fanatics attended conservative college talks organized by Young America Foundation (YAF), a conservative group and Turning Point USA. The mission of the Fuentes attendees was to heckle the speakers and disrupt their speeches, lest the speakers make good points that challenge the hateful ones of the Fuentes mob.

The activists refer to themselves as 'Groypers' – as a nod to a Pepe the Frog-like toad meme adopted by the most extreme internet white nationalists and originating on 4Chan, a white supremacist site. The Groypers typically ask questions about the US support of Israel as a way to mainstream their anti-Semitism within the conservative movement.

Right wing columnist Michelle Malkin, a former Fox News contributor, and a speaker at YAF presentations, has been dropped by YAF over her support of Fuentes. Her firing exemplifies the latest response in ongoing conflicts of Fuentes supporters and establishment conservatives such as Ben Shapiro, Charlie Kirk and Candace Owens.

Malkin has praised Fuentes and referred to him in a recent speech as "one of the New Right leaders," before calling on establishment conservatives to engage with them.

She displayed the full extent of her support in a speech for YAF delivered on November 14, which she addressed to "the young men and women of this country who identify as America First conservatives."

This is how the Fuentes mob conflates white nationalism with the conservative movement.

Malkin continued: "Another YAF speaker, Ben Shapiro, repeatedly denigrated an entire movement of young men who watch a YouTuber named Nick Fuentes, and are seeking answers to tough questions about where America is headed as masturbating losers in their basements who share memes. As a mom with brilliant right-thinking kids who, yes, live in my basement – and, yes, share memes – I found these obsessive references to young people’s dating lives and habits, by prominent conservative media personalities much older than their targets, to be tellingly defensive and touchy. Also: creepy.

"I will not be using my platform and my position to insult you, marginalize you, and shout you down."

But she will attack an orthodox Jew, Ben Shapiro, for not falling in lockstep with her fellow anti-Semites.

YAF's tolerance toward Malkin appeared to have run out three days after that speech, when they tweeted a post distancing themselves from her views, although they didn't mention her by name.

"Immigration is a vital issue that deserves robust debate. But there is no room in mainstream conservatism or at YAF for Holocaust deniers, white nationalists, street brawlers, or racists," they said.

Malkin responded:

"The Keepers of the Gate have spoken. #AmericaFirst is not "mainstream." My defense of unjustly prosecuted Proud Boys, patriotic young nationalists/groypers & demographic truth-tellers must not be tolerated. SPLC is cheering." 

The Southern Poverty Law Center is an American, far-left, nonprofit legal advocacy organization that, according to its website, "battles racial and social injustice." But mostly it battles true conservatives.

The spat drew the attention of conservative commentators including the Daily Wire's Matt Walsh, who tweeted:

"Hi @michellemalkin. Fuentes called me a "race traitor" and "f*ggot" because I "work for Jews." He also said that black people who complained about segregation needed to "grow up." How do you feel about these statements? And in what way are they "America First"?"

In response Malkin replied with a link to a transcript of the speech she gave on the 14th.

Ironically, Malkin's parents are Filipino immigrants. One hardly wonders just what Fuentes thinks of them.

And while we're at it, isn't it ironic how the left quickly blames President Trump for the crimes of white supremacists but refuse to censure their party's open anti-Semites: Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib? Trump is no racist nor anti-Semitic.
