A video ⁣of Shapiro’s remarks went viral on social media, where ⁣he criticized Owens ​for her behavior during the Israel-Hamas-Gaza ‍conflict, stating that it has been “disgraceful, without⁣ a⁢ doubt.”

Owens faced backlash from Republicans and pro-Israel activists for her statements,⁢ including a social media post implying⁣ that Israel was ​committing genocide in Gaza.

During her show on the Daily ‍Wire, Owens expressed ‌her concerns ⁤about the situation in Jerusalem, stating ​that it⁣ didn’t feel like true freedom to her.

While ⁣Owens did not‌ directly respond‍ to Shapiro’s comments, she posted a biblical quote on Twitter, prompting‌ Shapiro to ‌suggest ​that she should quit​ if she feels conflicted between her faith​ and ‌her association with the ​ Daily Wire.

Owens fired back at Shapiro, calling him “unprofessional” and “emotionally unhinged.”

“You have been acting unprofessional and emotionally unhinged for weeks now. ​And we have all had to⁤ sit‍ back and allow it and have all tried⁣ to ⁤exercise exceeding understanding for your raw emotion,” Owens⁢ said. ”But you cross a certain line when you ⁣come for scripture and read yourself into‌ it.⁤ I will​ not tolerate it.”

How does Ben Shapiro’s response to Owens’ comments reflect the‍ ongoing‌ debate within the conservative movement regarding the Israel-Palestine conflict?

Shapiro, a⁤ staunch supporter of Israel, criticized Owens for spreading what he called “anti-Israel propaganda” and accused her of spreading misinformation about the‌ conflict. He argued that Israel has the right to ⁣defend itself against⁣ terrorist attacks and that Owens’‌ comments were “dangerous and irresponsible.”

As the conflict between Israel and Hamas escalated, Owens made several controversial ⁤statements, including accusing​ Israel of targeting innocent civilians and comparing the situation to apartheid in South Africa. Her comments drew condemnation from both the conservative and pro-Israel communities.

Shapiro,​ known for his direct and confrontational ⁢style, didn’t mince words when discussing Owens’⁣ stance on Israel. He⁣ called her ‍behavior ​”faux-sophistication”‌ and accused ⁣her of pandering to a⁣ certain segment of the conservative base.

Owens has not responded to Shapiro’s criticism directly, but she has continued to defend her position on Israel. In a series of tweets, she argued that criticism of⁣ Israel should not be equated with anti-Semitism, and that the‍ situation in Gaza‍ deserves international attention.

While ‌this ⁢disagreement between two prominent​ conservative figures may seem like an intra-party issue, it highlights the‌ ongoing debate⁤ within the conservative movement over how to approach the Israel-Palestine conflict. As support for Israel⁢ has traditionally been a core ⁢tenet of conservative ‍ideology, any public criticism of the ‍country from within conservative ranks is seen as divisive and potentially damaging.

As the conflict in the ‌Middle East ​continues, it remains to be‍ seen how this controversy will impact​ the larger conservative movement and the relationship between ​Owens and Shapiro.​ However, it is clear that their differing views on Israel have caused a significant ⁣rift within the ‌conservative media landscape.

Ultimately, this‌ controversy raises important questions about the role of conservative commentators in shaping public opinion⁢ and the limits of dissent within the conservative movement. As the Israel-Palestine conflict continues to ‌be a contentious issue, it is⁢ crucial for voices from all sides to engage in meaningful dialogue and strive for a better understanding of the complexities involved.
