Daily Wire founder and staunch Israel supporter Ben Shapiro says that when Americans and others discuss the Israeli killing of civilians and international aid workers, they’re pushing an antisemitic “blood libel.” Shapiro’s claims came in the wake of Israel’s killing of seven international aid workers with the World Central Kitchen, including an American citizen, after they were tracked and killed by Israeli forces as their aid convoy moved through what was supposed to be a “deconflicted” zone of Gaza.
Ben Shapiro and other prominent Israel supporters spent much of Wednesday lashing out at Americans who dared to question Israel’s targeting of World Central Kitchen aid workers in Gaza after an Israeli airstrike killed seven of them.
Shapiro’s “blood libel” claim came in response to a video from Chef Jose Andres, an American citizen and the founder of the World Central Kitchen, who said that Israeli forces “targeted” the aid workers “deliberately” and that Israel’s fight against Hamas is “not a war against terrorism anymore” and that instead, it has become a “war against humanity itself.”
World Central Kitchen does good work, but this is a blood libel unsupportable by logic or evidence. Also, Andres has been accusing Israel of targeting civilians and hospitals for months on Twitter, and called for a ceasefire on October 13, less than a week after October 7. https://t.co/k2m7iz5QwP

The claims of antisemitism and blood libel made against critics of Israel by Shapiro and others have gone viral on X and other social media platforms amid another viral situation that many believe has publicly unmasked the anti-Christian, anti-American, Jewish supremacist views of many at the Daily Wire, including its founders.
As National File and countless other publications have reported, Candace Owens was recently fired from Shapiro’s Daily Wire after she publicly opposed the Israeli war effort in Gaza and called out Israel’s attacks on civilians, which have resulted in tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of deaths.

As a result of the Owens firing and other hardcore pro-Israel stances taken by Shapiro and his staff, stand-up comedian and podcaster Andrew Schulz called out Shapiro for censoring opinions that aren’t pro-Israel, asking him if the “Daily Wire [is] an American media platform or an Israeli media platform” in a clip that has since gone viral, adding another layer to the widespread questioning and criticism of Shapiro, the Daily Wire, and Israel Firstism in the United States.

What’s more, is that the Schulz clip has gone viral after another clip, taken during a Megyn Kelly interview of Ben Shapiro, went viral as well, in which Kelly asks Shapiro on air if free speech at his publication ends where the criticism of Israel begins.
