Candace Owens is once again at the centre of a digital firestorm, this time after accusing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of killing thousands of people. The conservative commentator's latest claim does not concern the recent strikes in Iran, but instead reaches back to one of the most traumatic events in modern US history: the 9/11 attacks.
The backlash erupted after Owens posted on X a message that appeared to link the Israeli leader to the hijackings of 11 September 2001. The intervention marks a striking escalation in her commentary on Middle Eastern geopolitics and historic international events.
