The wars in Ukraine and the Holy Land have each brought with them other tensions in places not directly involved in the conflicts.
For example, Chelsea Football Club might be doing a whole lot better now if it were not for sanctions placed after the war.
Many people have had personal friendships devolve into disagreements over either issue.
While we cannot attest to the veracity of their friendship, Ben Shapiro and Candace Owens certainly seemed to have a functional professional relationship at The Daily Wire prior to the recent conflict in the Middle East.
Owens has posted a number of criticisms of Israel’s tactics, including their bombing of Christians on the ground of Saint Porphyius Church in Gaza.
Incidentally, Catholic Arena was hounded by one Daily Wire reporter who told us to change our post reporting on the incident, though they refused to be drawn on what exactly needed changing.
Shapiro hit back in a not so diplomatic riposte, which as least more restrained than some of his more recent discussions about potential nuclear attacks.
In a video posted online, he branded pregnant Owens a ‘disgrace’.
Owens then tweeted a Bible verse, to which Shapiro suggest that she quit her job.
This evening, a new episode of Tucker Carlson saw her address these issues.
Whatever your take, it certainly is fascinating to see faith playing such a pivotal role in the public sphere in this manner.
