The Spin

Anti-Israel narrative

The unanswered questions surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's ties to Israeli powerful figures demand far greater transparency than seen so far. Western media have shown extraordinary stamina in dissecting Jeffrey Epstein's ties to politicians, royalty, financiers, and even foreign governments. Yet when it comes to his documented relationships with former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak — and allegations of broader connections within Israeli political circles — the urgency fades into silence.

Pro-Israel narrative

Claims that Epstein worked for Mossad are categorically unfounded and politically motivated attacks, with former Israeli intelligence directors and Prime Ministers unequivocally stating he had zero connection to Israeli intelligence. Epstein himself wrote he did not like Israel "AT ALL" and refused invitations to visit, while his relationship with Barak actually suggests the opposite — that both worked to undermine Israeli democracy rather than serve it.
