<\/a>US Lawmakers Introduce Bipartisan Resolution Condemning Antisemitic Rhetoric by Candace Owens, Hasan Piker<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\nShiryn Ghermezian<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n US Reps. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) and Mike Lawler (R-NY) introduced a bipartisan resolution on Wednesday that condemns \u201cantisemitic, hate-filled rhetoric and content\u201d promoted by online streamer Hasan Piker and podcaster Candace Owens.<\/span><\/p>\n The\u00a0resolution<\/a>\u00a0addresses the growing influence of online personalities around the world, as well as the global rise in antisemitism in recent years fueled partially by \u201conline disinformation, conspiracy theories, and extremist rhetoric.\u201d It calls on social media platforms and public leaders to denounce and take action against hatred.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe rise of digital media platforms has enabled individuals with large audiences to disseminate disinformation, commentary, and political viewpoints to millions of viewers worldwide,\u201d the resolution states. \u201cSuch influence carries a heightened responsibility to avoid rhetoric that promotes hatred, violence, or discrimination against any group, including Jewish individuals and communities.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The resolution lists several hateful comments from both Piker and Owens.<\/span><\/p>\n Piker has\u00a0repeatedly expressed support for Hamas<\/a>\u00a0and even said \u201cit doesn\u2019t matter\u201d if sexual assault took place during the terrorist group\u2019s Oct. 7, 2023, invasion of and massacre across southern Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n Owens is notorious for promoting antisemitic conspiracy theories, tropes, and blood libels about Judaism, Jewish figures, and Israel. She has claimed, for example, that Israel controls the US government and has also downplayed and denied verified details about the Holocaust.<\/span><\/p>\n The resolution states that efforts to \u201cdownplay or excuse antisemitic rhetoric under the guise of political commentary should be rejected.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cPiker has openly applauded Hamas\u2019 terrorism, downplayed the mass rape of civilians on Oct. 7, and dehumanized Orthodox Jews as \u2018inbred,’\u201d Lawler said in a statement. \u201cOwens has\u00a0trafficked in vile conspiracy theories<\/a>, promoted blood libels, and platformed Holocaust deniers. With an audience of millions, they have a responsibility to confront hatred and bigotry in every form, not to amplify it to the masses. So, if they won\u2019t call it out, I will.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cHatred is hatred, period,\u201d Gottheimer added. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter whether it comes from the far right or the far left. We cannot be selective in calling out antisemitism. When influential voices spread conspiracy theories, promote terrorism, or dehumanize Jewish people, it fuels real-world violence and intimidation. We must stand up and speak out.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI get that speaking up is not easy, but our constituents didn\u2019t elect us to always take the easy path,\u201d he noted. \u201cThat\u2019s what principled leadership is all about.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Owens has not publicly commented on the resolution, but Piker condemned it in a statement to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA).<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThey are once again conflating legitimate critics of Israel with actual antisemites,\u201d he said. \u201cThey would rather complain about fake antisemitism in defense of Israel than call out the real sources of Jew hatred with a full chest. I have spent my entire career combating all forms of bigotry including antisemitism and will continue to do so in spite [of] this cynical ploy to satisfy donors.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Zawarto\u015b\u0107 publikowanych artyku\u0142\u00f3w i materia\u0142\u00f3w nie reprezentuje pogl\u0105d\u00f3w ani opinii Reunion’68,<\/em> US Lawmakers Introduce Bipartisan Resolution Condemning Antisemitic Rhetoric by Candace Owens, Hasan Piker Shiryn Ghermezian Right-wing political commentator Candace Owens speaks during an event held by national conservative political movement \u2018Turning Point\u2019, in Detroit, Michigan, US, June 14, 2024.
