The conspiracy theory pushed yesterday by antisemite Tucker Carlson linking Chabad-Lubavitch to the war with Iran has quickly spread across fringe corners of social media, with another antisemitic commentator, Candace Owens, now escalating the rhetoric even further.
In a series of posts on X, Owens repeated and expanded on the claims Carlson aired on his podcast, accusing the Chabad movement of operating a secretive and dangerous agenda while warning her followers to monitor where Chabad centers exist in their communities.
“Tucker is telling the truth about the Chabad Lubavitch,” Owens wrote. “Read the book ‘Sigmund Freud and the Jewish Mystical Tradition.’”
“Also be reminded that when I discussed the Chabad on Piers Morgan, Jews tried to have me murdered,” she wrote, of course without providing evidence, because there isn’t any.
In a follow-up post, Owens escalated the accusations further, warning her followers to “be aware” of nearby Chabad institutions and repeating several conspiracy claims that have circulated online in recent years.
“Remember they are digging tunnels in New York and in cities all across America,” Owens wrote. “They are taking over entire towns in New Jersey.”
She went on to claim that Chabad followers are “dangerous” and described the movement as “a radical sect of mystic occultists,” while citing discredited and widely criticized claims connected to psychoanalyst Jeffrey Masson.
Owens also alleged that dozens of people had been involved in a supposed plot to murder her — again offering no documentation or evidence.
The posts come after Carlson used his podcast to float the theory that the war between Israel and Iran is tied to a supposed Chabad-backed effort to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount and rebuild the Third Temple — a claim for which he provided no evidence.
The claims are likely to resonate particularly strongly in parts of New Jersey, where Orthodox Jewish communities — including many Chabad centers — have become frequent targets of online conspiracy theories and political rhetoric.

Do not fear radical Muslims you must fear Chabad
Did I hear right
Oh Condace, you mean like Mamdani cockroaches?
Will you be required to apologize too or since you’ve got the needed protective gear, no apology is necessary! You’re a vile anti Semite!

This is a danger to all openly chareidi jews. To non jews we all look/are the same. This can lead to unhinged people taking matters into their own hands.
It is extremely difficult for a political or religious group to sue for libel in the US but making a claim as a factual statement that a group is digging tunnels in NY and cities all over America would actually be something that has a chance of winning such a lawsuit.
Another Qatar employee they pay so well to turn Western mouthpieces into their own microphone but we know who’s behind all this it’s obvious her and Tucker get paid from Doha
I knew that this guy’s moral compass was off years ago when he was still on Fox News, when he was working in favor of Russia and going against Ukraine.
If the VP still refuses to condemn this evil man, then his moral compass is also off.
Also what does lakewood have to do with chabad?!
Isn’t Candace the one with the divorced eyes?
@Candace, how can you be aware of where Chabad is nearest to your home when they are digging tunnels all across the USA?
Smerel, no, such a lawsuit is impossible. There is no such thing as group libel in US law. For instance even if someone says “Jews are all murderers”, no individual Jew can sue him, and Jews as a group can’t sue either. If you say something false about a group of people, if there are fewer than 25 of them they can each sue you individually, but once there are more than 25 none of them can sue.
