Prager quoted Owens as claiming that modern Israelis engage in the kidnapping and killing of non-Jewish children, alleging that modern Israel still does these things.

Prager accused Owens of saying that "Israel was founded to be a haven for pedophiles."

“There were millions of Jews scattered around that part of eastern Europe in Herzl’s time," wrote Prager in response. "How do you connect him to the Frankist cult, which at best was a tiny minority — and then assert that his advocacy of a homeland for Jews in their ancient homeland resulted in a state founded by people devoted to a satanic cult involved in incest and ritual sex with children?”

“Such a defamatory allegation should be presented with very strong evidence. ‘May have been’ doesn’t qualify as such.”
