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.
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.
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.
Thanks for answering respectfully. I didn’t see the bars but now I do. Neither was I aware of any ties between him and Israel but reading the other comments, I guess I missed it.
I try to make my critics of Israel about settler colonialism and genocide, not about Judaism. When I see an “against every antisemitism”-sticker, I put my “stop the genocide”-sticker demonstratively next to it. Speaking out against antisemitism stays important, especially in times where people conflate Israel with Judaism on both sides (either to defend the Zionist project or to attack uninvolved Jews) but in this case, I misread it and lacked context.
The files are filled with Epstein’s weird supremacist ideas and interest in eugenics. The way he talked about his race vs everyone else was like something out of the worst antisemitic conspiracy theories I’ve ever heard.
The P.E.Z. was nazi propaganda in the 1930s, but 2020s Israel is turning it into a torment nexus.
It’s like something out if a Greek myth, when someone’s efforts to avert a prophesied calamity ends up actually being what causes the prophecy to self-fulfill.
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.
How is Epstein’s Jewishness relevant? This is straightforward antisemitism
You are straightforward jerking my chain, as there is no way that anybody could actually believe what you’re saying, right guys?!?!
RIGHT

Trying to define Jewishness by what Israel and/or Epstein does is antisemitic.
Ahh, the ole “Israel = Judaism” argument that allows me to call anyone critical of genocidal assholes in Israel a racist. Classic!
Not Jewish. israeli. Not that simpletons can see a difference.

He was funded by mossad. Epstein island was quite literally an israeli honeypot. Facts aren’t antisemitic.
And the State of Israel ≠ the Jewish ethnicity.

Reality is stranger than fiction sometimes…
All of Israel is at this point. They are nazis. They have 5 or 6 million others forced into ghettos they control and abuse coincidentally.
Tell me what your country is, and I’ll tell you how it enables the USA and Israel.
When you sit at the table with Nazis, you’re a Nazi! So, gross.
How could you possibly make the case that his widely documented ties to a state intelligence apparatus ISNT a big deal, no matter what country it is?
Zionists these days have become a parody of themselves.
