Clickbait, Conspiracies, and a Fake Photo: The Times’ Epstein–Mossad Debacle
Honest Reporting ^ | February 10, 2026 | Simon Plosker

Key Takeaways:

The release of Jeffrey Epstein–related files has fueled a surge in online antisemitism, with old conspiracies repackaged as claims that Epstein was a Mossad asset.

That fringe smear was irresponsibly mainstreamed by The Times of London, relying on an anonymous, discredited source exposed by other journalists as unreliable.

When challenged, the paper’s Israel correspondent doubled down by sharing an obvious AI-manipulated image falsely linking Israel’s president to Epstein – before issuing a hollow apology after being caught.

Where? Is any and all criticism of Jews and Israel antisemitism?

“Where? Is any and all criticism of Jews and Israel antisemitism?”

I don’t think anyone is saying “any and all criticism of Jews and Israel” is antisemitism, do you?

The looney theories by the usual idiot brigades, however, is.

The way he’s got his finger pointing at the viewer makes me think he was indeed doing a Hillary impression of her ranting.

“The looney theories by the usual idiot brigades, however, is.’

Note, I consider any criticism of Ehud Barak likely fair. He’s a dirtbag; see my post above.

Where things go off the rails are the Candace Owens morons of the world, like this gem from Sunday “Yes, we are ruled by satanic pedophiles who work for Israel.”

Would it be prudent to look at who actually gave Epstein the most money and supported his endeavors to determine who he was actually working for?

Leon Black and Les Wexner were his 2 largest and most powerful billionaire backers.

Did they have ties to all different types of intelligence or were they loyal to one in particular?

Of course when you are a Mossad agent, you will likely have “ties to multiple intel agencies” but ultimately you only work for one.

Well Epstein is known to have worked for the CIA with Wexner running a literal cocaine airline for the CIA. It’s literally in Wexner’s wiki page.

You’d think he wouldn’t work for more than one.
