How is Epstein's Jewishness relevant? This is straightforward antisemitism
It's the flag of Israel, specifically. He had ties to former Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Israeli intelligence services; apparently Mossad was involved in his island's security and supposedly he worked closely with them. He also funded the IDF through the US nonprofit Friends of the Israeli Defense Force and other settler efforts through the Jewish National Fund. Calling out Israel is not antisemitic; Israel is a state, not a religion or ethnicity.
It's an Israeli flag, not a jewish flag, and he was an Israeli honeypot, as there is no way you do not know at this point that he was getting blackmail on people for Israel, it's beyond dispute.
As a jew, I also had the same initial reaction to the star of david. Then I realized the bars of the flag are present as the band of the underwear and a line at the bottom of the briefs. I wish there was a gap between the bars and the top/bottom to make this more obvious and more accurate to the flag instead of the symbol of judaism. This being the flag makes sense. If it was just the star, I would agree that it is antisemitic.
Ahh, the ole "Israel = Judaism" argument that allows me to call anyone critical of genocidal assholes in Israel a racist. Classic!
You are straightforward jerking my chain, as there is no way that anybody could actually believe what you're saying, right guys?!?!
RIGHT
Not Jewish. israeli. Not that simpletons can see a difference.
Trying to define Jewishness by what Israel and/or Epstein does is antisemitic.
Based on evidence released so far it’s clear Epstein was a Mossad agent, running a child raping blackmail ring on Israel’s behalf in order to manipulate world events.
I know you’re pretending to not know that, but it’s a fact. Another fact is that criticizing the government of Israel does not equate to antisemitism.
