SICK WOMAN: “Stalin Was Jewish, Kabbalists Are Pedophiles”: Candace Owens Spreads New Anti-Semitic Conspiracies
American conservative commentator Candace Owens made several controversial and conspiratorial assertions during Wednesday’s episode of her show. Among her claims were that Stalin was Jewish, Freud was a Kabbalist and pedophile, and that Jews ethnically cleansed Germans after World War II.
Owens was joined by Tristan Tate, an American-British influencer known for his previous legal troubles, including charges of assault and human trafficking in the UK and Romania.
Throughout the episode, the pair delved into various topics, while also discussing Israel and Jews. Their conversation propagated several antisemitic conspiracy theories.
Owens alleged that Stalinists were “part of the Jewish cabal.” The word “cabal” is frequently used as an antisemitic slur.
Owens also suggested that the portrayal of Stalin and Lenin as antisemitic figures was a media fabrication. “For a very long time, the media tried to convince us that Stalin and Vladimir Lenin were antisemitic, and then I learned Stalin was married to a Jew,” Owens stated. She further claimed that Stalin was Jewish, citing a “friend who understands Georgian” as her source.
Historian Simon Sebag Montefiore, in his biography Young Stalin, notes that Stalin received his education at an Orthodox Christian seminary. Neither of Stalin’s wives is documented to have Jewish ancestry, though Stalin’s daughter did marry a Jewish man.
Svetlana, Stalin’s daughter, recounted in her memoir Twenty Letters to a Friend that “the fact that Kapler was a Jew was what bothered [her father] most of all.” Despite this, Svetlana went on to marry another Jewish man, and Stalin notably did not attend the wedding.
Owens, with Tate’s agreement, also argued that Germans were subjected to ethnic cleansing after WWII, alleging that “so many of the people who executed those crimes [against Germans] were then protected by the state of Israel.”
She specifically mentioned Solomon Morel, a Polish NKVD concentration camp commander whom Israel refused to extradite to Poland. Owens claimed that her “German friends were privately thanking [her]” for acknowledging the atrocities committed against their ancestors, who were “slaughtered, murdered, or ethnically cleansed and pushed out.”
Owens also compared the defense of Israel by Jews to the defense of George Floyd by Black Americans, arguing that just because someone is Jewish or Black does not obligate them to defend certain actions.
“You’re not required to defend the stuff that Theodore Herzl and Netanyahu were up to simply because you’re Jewish,” she asserted.
She further remarked, “Many Jewish people that I grew up with have fallen victim to the same trap of BLM in Black America where they teach you traumas about your history in the classroom, and then you have this like fear this like slavery is going to come back,” implying that the fear of slavery or antisemitism is unfounded.
Tate interjected, stating that whenever he criticizes Israel, “people start [to say] oh, the Holocaust is going to come back.” He clarified, “No, I have no interest in the Holocaust coming back,” but reiterated his belief that “the state of Israel are war criminals,” while noting that he doesn’t harbor personal animosity toward Israelis, only their government.
Owens also accused Sigmund Freud of being a “cabalist,” alleging that his study of Kabbalah led to his supposed pedophilia. She claimed that Freud created psychoanalysis to justify inappropriate desires, saying, “No, they were being [assaulted] when they were 7 years old because that’s what you do, uh, when you worship the Kabbala.”
