Rick Wiles (born August 20, 1953)[1] is a far-right American conspiracy theorist,[2] pundit, religious extremist and senior pastor at the non-denominational Flowing Streams Church. He is the founder of TruNews, a website promoting racist, homophobic, and antisemitic conspiracy theories.[3][4][5]
Wiles said, “I am fed up with Zionism and Hamas-ism,”[6] in response to the International Criminal Court issuing arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Hamas leaders.[7]
Wiles has said that Jews seek to obtain control of countries to "kill millions of Christians", and has claimed that Jews are "deceivers" and that Jews "plot, they lie, they do whatever they have to do to accomplish their political agenda".[8] In February 2020, YouTube permanently banned the TruNews channel.[9]
