Most Jews have stopped watching Candace Owens because of her antisemitic language, and her hatred for Jews and Israel. She’s also been one of the only people to call Jack Ruby (the man who shot Lee Harvey Oswald on live TV) Jack Rubinstein. That was his real name, but Owens says the full name to attempt to link the Mossad or Jews to the killing of Kennedy with no evidence.

The PBD podcast, which has more than 2.5 million subscribers, is always an entertaining watch because the host, Patrick Bet-David, asks interesting questions and gets amazing guests. The man who is worth hundreds of millions of dollars knows very little about Israel, as one can see whenever the subject comes up. That’s fine. One does not have to be an expert on everything.

With news of the release of thousands of documents relating to the JFK assassination, on a recent episode, co-host Vinnie Oshana, who I give credit to for serving as an American soldier, but also knows little about foreign affairs, jumped in to say that he saw a different podcast where it was said that if you were looking to have a certain view, there was enough in the files to back it up.

Oshana said, “If you thought Israel was responsible — guess what, there is enough in there for somebody to have the conclusion that Israel … If you wanted to point the finger at Israel, there is enough proof in here.”

To his credit, Bet-David asked Oshana what document suggested that. Of course, Oshana didn’t know or cite anything.

The guest, comedian Andrew Schulz (who is not Jewish), said he didn’t care much about the JFK files. He said while there are a lot of theories, there isn’t much that is definitive.

Out of nowhere, Oshana brought up Ben Shapiro, criticizing him for not sufficiently caring about the JFK files and then brought up the attempted assassination of President Trump, prompting Schulz to ask if he was suggesting Jews were involved in attempting to kill Trump. Of course, Oshana said no because that would be a bridge to far. The real point (other than dog whistling antisemites for clicks and views) was to try to hurt Shapiro, an Orthodox Jew who is the co-founder of The Daily Wire, and is at the top of the food chain is conservative media.

On his own podcast, Schulz criticized Shapiro for firing Candace Owens, despite her despicable comments, and Bet-David basically copied what Schulz said, saying similar things on his podcast at the time.

While working through hypotheticals, Bet-David threw out, again with no evidence, “say it comes out that actually Israel was involved. What does it change for you?”

Schulz said that it would fracture the relationship between Israel and America. He also said one should be able to criticize Israel — which anyone is able to do.

Schulz mentioned that America “nuked Japan” but we are friendly now.

“I don’t know if Israel’s got something as good as sushi,” prompting Bet-David’s Jewish co-host to say in a Jewish accent, “we have the bagels.”

Not funny, especially at a time of rising antisemitism.

I didn’t hear any of them saying “the Palestinians” wanted to kill RFK, even though Sirhan Sirhan, a Palestinian, was convicted of the shooting of RFK. I’m glad they didn’t present that conspiracy theory — but why, then, did they only push a conspiracy theory about Israel?

Patrick Bet-David, I have a question for you: did you flee from Iran, where they spread conspiracy theories about Jews, so you could come to America, and allow conspiracy theories about Jews to be spread on your show?
