Antisemitic influencer Candace Owens had her YouTube account suspended on Monday for violating the platform’s hate speech policies.

YouTube’s suspension, which will last one week, comes after Owens shared a previously unaired interview with antisemitic rapper Kanye West. Throughout the interview, West made numerous libelous allegations against what he termed “Jewish influences in his life.” He claimed a Jewish doctor diagnosed him with bipolar disorder and that a Jewish Hollywood trainer leaked this information to the Jewish media. West also accused his Jewish trainer of hospitalizing him after seeing him read the Bible.

Typically, Owens shared the news with her millions of X followers and blamed the Jews.

“There will be no show today, or at all this week. That’s because @YouTube has issued me a strike and a one-week suspension for my sit-down with Kanye. They also removed the interview as ‘hate speech’, as it was mass reported by Zionists. Their tactics never change,” she wrote.

“We all know exactly who is behind this and why,” Owens continued. “I don’t belong to Zionists, I don’t belong to YouTube, I don’t belong to any of these Jewish groups, whether it’s the ADL who are making these calls behind the scenes. My platform belongs to God and it’s the people around the world that are supporting me.”

It seems like every week the anti-Israel firebrand makes headlines for all the wrong reasons. During a Sunday episode of “Piers Morgan Uncensored”, Owens came under fire after accusing the Lubavitcher Rebbe of being a white supremacist.

Given Owens’ long history of promoting antisemitic rhetoric, many critics are questioning why YouTube took so long to take action and why the suspension is limited to just one week. Arguably, anything less than a permanent ban is insufficient to address the persistent spread of hate speech on the platform, particularly from influential figures with large followings.

    People like her who spew such hatred and negative views towards humanity and her focus on Jews just shows the complete dark side of social media. It gives people like her the outlet to deliver her unjustified hate speech and if it wasn’t for social media she’d be a complete zero which is what she is anyways ,

    A suspension is useless. It needs to be permanent!
