(Jewish Group) Infowars host Owen Shroyer debates 'Jewish conspiracies' with antisemitic YouTuber
Infowars host Owen Shroyer dabbled in several antisemitic tropes during a recent half-hour livestreamed debate on YouTube that revolved around “Jewish conspiracies” and whether his boss, Alex Jones, is a secret Zionist shill.
Shroyer appeared Sept. 17 on the YouTube channel “Know More News,” which is run and hosted by a little-known antisemitic conspiracy theorist named Adam Green. Since at least 2014, Green has been using the channel to produce dozens of videos focusing mostly on 9/11 trutherism and bigoted notions that Jews are secretly plotting to take over the world. (One of his videos, straightforwardly titled “The Zionist Plan to Take Over the World,” has racked up more than 120,000 views.)
In recent months, many of Green’s rambling homemade videos have taken on a surprising target: Infowars, a website chock full of xenophobic and antigovernment conspiracy theories ugly enough to get it banned recently from multiple social media platforms, including YouTube. Green’s hypothesis about Infowars appears to be that Jones is being blackmailed by Israeli secret agents to stop him from being critical of Israel or the Jewish people more broadly.
Shroyer went on “Know More News” to defend Infowars against what he described as Green’s “weird shit.”
