I was a guest on Candace Owensâ podcast, and honestly, the experience opened my eyes.
Despite her strong stance against the Zionist lobby and Israel, Candace is often criticized for past views that were hostile toward Arabs and Muslims. Sheâs also classified as right-wing, with positions that have sparked controversy among the left and many Black Americans, especially over her disagreements with Black Lives Matter.
This raises a question we often avoid:
Do we engage with people we strongly disagree with politically when we still stand on the same side against the terrifying level of Zionist control over U.S. institutions?
Many avoid crossing political lines to protect ideological purity, and I respect that. But while Zionists engage both the right and the leftâand turn them against each otherâwe isolate ourselves and miss chances to reach audiences we never speak to.
Off camera, Candace is kind, funny, and disarmingly honest. We disagreed on many things, but found real common ground on critical issues affecting the U.S. and the Middle East. She spoke openly about her past views, how indoctrination works, and how her thinkingâespecially on Palestine, Israel, and Arabs and Muslimsâhas changed.
I deeply respect people who are humble and brave enough to question their own biases. Thatâs not weaknessâthatâs growth.
The episode covers my stance on Charlie Kirk, Zionist influence on U.S. decision-making, and more. It reached one million views in under 24 hours, despite being nearly two hours longâsomething we rarely see since platforms began burying voices like ours.
Weâre working on an Arabic translation now. Please share it so it reaches as many people as possible.

Things that give me comfort.
1. Israelâs economy has tanked
2. 70% of the country has PTSD or depression
3. Soldiers keep refusing to go back
4. Israelis are leaving the country in masses
5. Their main source of income, tourism, hardly exists
6. They are hated the world over
I saw this Dua and I thought to share
Ya Allah, I try to trust Your plan, but sometimes, the waiting feels too long, the tests feel too heavy, and I begin to question if better days will ever come.
I carry silent worries, unspoken fears, and prayers that feel unanswered.
Ya Allah, in these moments, I need You the most.
Ya Rabb, I don't want to lose hope. I don't want to let my doubts take over or let my struggles make me forget Your mercy. I know You are always working in ways I cannot see.
I know You are writing a story for me that is far greater than what I could ever imagine. But my heart is weak, Ya Allah, and I need You to strengthen it.
Remind me that every delay is for a reason, every hardship is shaping me, and every unanswered prayer is Your protection.
When I feel like giving up, pull me closer to You. When my faith feels shaky, remind me of all the times You have carried me through before. Replace my fear with trust, my impatience with peace, and my doubts with unwavering faith in You.
Ya Allah, no matter what I face, let me always believe in the beauty of Your plan. Even when I don't understand it, even when it doesn't make sense, let my heart be certain that You are leading me toward something better. Keep me firm in faith, hopeful in Your mercy, and at peace with what You have written for me.

Jerry Seinfeld said he doesn't care about Palestine, and he still gets paid gigs. But we saw professors lose their jobs because they criticized Israel. Let that sink in.
The older I get, the more I realize why Yaqub (AS) said, 'I only complain of my suffering to Allah' [12:86]. People don't understand your pain, and neither can they comfort you the way Allah can and does.
I hope people realise that the ceasefire is for the Palestinians in Gaza. Absolutely nothing changes for the rest of us in dismantling Zionism and fighting for a free Palestine. No pauses, no breaks, no rest until every inch of Palestine is free.
After 15 months of genocide in Gaza, a ceasefire has been declared â but the US, UK & others must be held accountable for arming these atrocities.
Weâll keep speaking out until the siege lifts, aid flows, schools & hospitals are rebuilt, the Occupation ends & Palestine is free.
Wondering at what point will things change with the visa processing @HomeAffairsSA way more than 60 working days since my application was put in and no helpful response from emailing (auto generated email response) about a backlog which I thought was 99% cleared đ @Leon_Schreib
