ADL Rebukes Megyn Kelly as Conservative Feud Over Israel and Antisemitism Deepens

The watchdog denounced her claim that Ben Shapiro and Bari Weiss are “making antisemites” after Shapiro’s AmericaFest push to denounce Candace Owens’ conspiracy theories.

Overview

  • Kelly escalated her clash with Weiss by vowing on X that there is “more truth coming,” following a Vanity Fair interview where she blamed pro-Israel conservatives for rising antisemitism.
  • Shapiro’s AmericaFest speech labeled Kelly, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens and Steve Bannon as conspiracy traffickers and urged conservatives to repudiate them.
  • Weiss amplified Shapiro’s remarks by publishing his speech in The Free Press, which Kelly characterized as a coordinated attack.
  • Kelly declined to denounce Owens and said she favored Owens asking if Israel was involved in Charlie Kirk’s killing, while adding that she does not believe Israel did it.
  • The ADL called Kelly’s comments dangerous, saying accusing Jews of “making antisemites” is victim-blaming and that calling Shapiro “Israel first” invokes an antisemitic dual-loyalty trope.
