Disgraced former Harvard President Larry Summers spent his honeymoon on billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s private island after marrying one of the school’s English professors. The professor, Elisa New, flew to Little Saint James on Epstein’s infamous ‘Lolita Express’ with Summers, who left the school earlier this week over embarrassing emails wrt Epstein as his ‘wingman.’

The couple flew from Bedford, Massachusetts to the island on December 11, 2005, ten days after their wedding and while Summers was still president, according to publicly available flight logs obtained by The Harvard Crimson. The logs show Summers and New flew alongside Epstein’s infamous madam and ex-girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell and his former pilot, Larry Visoski. ‘Mr. Summers and Ms. New spent their honeymoon in St. John and Jamaica in December 2005, which was long before Mr. Epstein was arrested for the first time,’ a spokesperson for summers said.

‘As part of that trip, they made a brief visit of less than a day to Mr. Epstein’s island.’However, it did come six months after Palm Beach police began investigating Epstein over the rape of a 14-year-old girl and two months after police had executed a search warrant on his mansion. Epstein hired Harvard Professor Alan Dershowitz just days before the visit by Summers and New.

The honeymoon trip is one of four publicly known flights Summers took on one of Epstein’s planes and three he took while running Harvard. New remains a professor emerita at Harvard in the school’s English department, teaching American Literature. She has been employed by the school since 1999. The Daily Mail has reached out to a spokesperson for Harvard University for comment. (Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...

Epstein referred to himself as Summers’ “wing man” in an email exchange in which Summers was seeking Epstein’s advice on pursuing a romantic relationship with a woman he described as a mentee.

The term was used in the context of Summers’ pursuit of a woman (identified in reports as macroeconomist Keyu Jin) with whom he had a professional relationship. The email exchange and others were part of a tranche of documents released by House Republicans in November 2025, showing a years-long correspondence between the two men even after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor.

In the November 2018 messages, Summers expressed confusion and a level of frustration about the relationship dynamics, thinking he was “going nowhere with her except economics mentor”.

Epstein offered encouragement and suggestions for how to proceed, at one point writing, “I’m a pretty good wing man, no?”.

Summers replied, “You were good... Think for now I’m going nowhere with her except economics mentor”.

The messages have been widely reported and led to Summers stepping back from various public commitments and taking leave from teaching at Harvard. Summers has stated he is “deeply ashamed” of his actions and described his association with Epstein as a “major error of judgment”.

Some 200 anti-semites gathered outside the Park East Synagogue in Manhattan and heckled Jews attending an event by Nefesh B’nefesh, a Zionist organization that helps Jews immigrate to Israel, according to the Times of Israel.

Nefesh B’nefesh-—— which pays Jews to immigrate to Israel...... receives Israeli government funds
<><>but says it relies on charitable contributions (which are often tax-exempt in the US and UK),
<><>and “direct funding” from the Israeli government.

The organization receives a portion of its budget from the US-dependent Israeli government, specifically through the Israeli government agency, “Ministry of Aliyah and Integration.” This arrangement began on a trial basis in 2005 and has continued since.

The “lion’s share” of its budget is claimed to be private funds raised through entities like the US nonprofit “Nefesh B’nefesh Jewish Souls United,” which accepts tax-exempt donations.

It also partners with organizations such as Jewish National Fund-USA to raise funds. The Jewish National Fund (JNF) benefits from the US tax system through tax-exempt status. JNF-USA is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit; donations made to it are tax-deductible for US donors.

Additionally, the US government provides mega-billions of tax dollars——foreign and military aid to Israel-—— and some US non-profits and private actors support Israeli settlements.....illegal Israeli settlements which are thought to be financed with US foreign aid billions.

Nefesh B’Nefesh provides “financial aid, including grants,” to eligible Jewish immigrants to Israel. Its goal is to facilitate the Israeli immigration process and help with the transition by providing resources, “financial assistance,” and guidance on housing, healthcare, and employment.

Financial assistance——Israeli government Grants: Eligible immigrants can receive Israeli government “financial aid” to help cover some of the costs associated with moving.

Beyond initial grants, new immigrants are entitled to various “Israeli government benefits:”
<><>Israeli government rent subsidies
<><>Israeli government free health coverage,
<><>Israeli government discounts on property taxes.

Travel: Nefesh B’Nefesh helps arrange a free Israeli government chartered flight to Israel, which includes expedited processing at the airport and a free Israeli government taxi to their new home.

Other services
Guidance: Nefesh B’Nefesh provides free Israeli government
Aliyah advisors who offer guidance on navigating the bureaucratic process, finding housing, and integrating into Israeli society.

The organization offers a variety of Israeli government pre- and post -Aliyah events and resources, including social events, career guidance, and networking contacts to help new immigrants acclimate and thrive in Israel.

The “Israeli Ministry of Aliyah and Integration” is funded primarily by the US-dependent Israeli government, though some specific projects receive co-funding from external sources like the European Union.

The Israeli government allocates funds from its budget to support the ministry’s initiatives, which include providing assistance to immigrants in areas like housing, employment, and language acquisition.

The Aliyah ministry is an Israeli government body responsible for the integration of new immigrants, and its operations are funded through the Israeli government’s
national budget........funds allocated by the US-dependent Israeli government.

Co-funding for specific projects: Some specific programs have received additional support from other sources. For example, certain integration and support projects are co-funded by the European Union, as noted in a study from Ruppin Academic Center.

Polling data indicates a significant shift in opinion; a growing number of young Americans expressing strong criticism and dissatisfaction with Israel, particularly wrt its military actions in Gaza.

Key findings from recent polls include Widespread Disapproval of US tax financed Israeli Military:

A near majority of young registered voters (ages 18-29) sympathize more with Palestinians than Israelis. Polls have shown that over half of Americans overall, and an even higher percentage of young people, believe Israel’s military response in Gaza has “gone too far”.

Generational Divide: There is a pronounced generational gap in views. Support decreases steadily with age, with younger generations being far more critical. The dissatisfaction among young voters stemmed from the Biden administration’s mishandling of the conflict has been noted as a potential factor in shifting political support.

Changing Views Among Jewish Youth: Even among Jewish Americans, younger individuals (18-34) are less emotionally attached to Israel and more likely to be critical of its actions compared to older generations.

Social media and grassroots activism have played a role in reshaping the conversation and exposing young people to perspectives on the conflict, including information about the “Nakba” and alleged human rights abuses, which were previously less mainstream in U.S. discourse.

Overall, polling data confirms a notable and increasing level of negative sentiment and “disgust” among young Americans concerning Israel’s actions in the ongoing conflict.

Charlie Kirk’s death has ignited a war, and the Israel lobby is worried

The battle over Charlie Kirk’s legacy continues with conservatives’ changing views on Israel at the heart of it. The Israel lobby is shaken, and polls suggest a political “earthquake” may be taking place

By Philip Weiss October 3, 2025

The battle for the legacy of Charlie Kirk continued this week with the publication of a long letter from the late evangelical activist to Benjamin Netanyahu last May. Kirk professes love for Israel and the Jewish people, then warns Netanyahu that Israel is getting “CRUSHED” on social media in the United States over charges of “apartheid” and “genocide” but suggests how an active p.r. campaign can undo those losses.

Israel advocates, including the financier Bill Ackman, pointed to the letter as evidence of the charismatic leader’s devotion to Israel. And not—as commentator Candace Owens and others have said– that Kirk was turning on Israel in recent months. The controversy is important because Kirk, who at 33 was killed during a speech in Utah September 10, led a youthful movement to help get Trump elected. If Israel loses Kirk’s base, it really is in crisis in the U.S. discourse.

Or as Kirk himself said in July: “I’ve been trying to tell them [Israel supporters], There’s an earthquake coming in this country on this issue and in the country, and they don’t believe me.” Kirk’s letter to Netanyahu only shows that he was souring on Israel. It warns that consumers of social media know that the U.S. gives billions to Israel but “they’re less aware of what we get in return.” It would have been nice if Israel had sent an airplane with a star of David on it full of aid to the U.S. after a hurricane, he says, and suggests the action team that Israel could put together here to counter its reputation for genocide.

The letter was surely circulated to donors. Kirk was dependent on donors to support his political organization, Turning Point USA. In statements last summer, Kirk was plainly anguished about the Israel issue. “I’m trying to find this new path,” Kirk said of his Israel views in a “focus group” on Israel he convened with young conservatives. “I love Israel… I saw where Jesus rose from the dead and he walked on water…” But he questioned American aid to Israel. “Also I’m an American, and I represent a generation that can’t afford anything.”

In that focus group, Kirk sounded many criticisms of Israel, though not always endorsing them: –Supporting Israel is not in the U.S. interest. We’ve spent hundreds of billions and Israel may have dragged the U.S. into the Iran conflict. Maybe the U.S. should “decouple” from Israel, Kirk ventured.

–The antisemitism charge against Israel critics has lost its meaning. “If you call everyone an antisemite, if they don’t take a puritanical view of the Netanyahu government, that’s bad for everybody,” Kirk said.

–The Israel lobby works against U.S. interests. “I’m told by some people that if I criticize AIPAC that’s antisemitic,” Kirk said, before speculating that AIPAC goes against American interests. “Do you think that AIPAC represents, I’m not saying I believe this, a sort of cutting in line in prioritization away from the American people… We vote, we’re citizens, but a separate group gets higher priority…”

–Israel is like other “broken” institutions. It keeps saying it has a “messaging problem,” when it is actually “doing something wrong,” Kirk said. –Kirk refused to cancel Tucker Carlson after Carlson’s attack on the Israel lobby and its wealthy Jewish supporters.

The last issue was particularly volatile. Last July Carlson gave a speech to a Kirk summit in Florida that smacked of antisemitic themes. Carlson said that rich financiers in Jeffrey Epstein’s “constellation” who care only about Israel are wrenching Americans away from their real concerns, such as the affordability crisis, and telling them to care about Iran. Carlson said that the career of Bill Ackman, the most important pro-Israel activist in the country right now, demonstrates that “useless” people end up with billions.

Before his death, Charlie Kirk told Netanyahu that Israel faced a ‘5-alarm fire’ over PR strategy
In a letter, Kirk lamented that Israel was losing the “information war” in the United States.

Prior to his death, slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk sent a letter to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warning the leader that Israel was losing support within the “conservative MAGA community” and exhorting him to do a better of job of making Israel’s case to the world. Netanyahu teased the existence of a supportive letter from Kirk soon after the Turning Point USA co-founder’s assassination in Utah earlier this month. Now, the New York Post has obtained and published the letter, dated May 2.

In it, Kirk espouses his own staunch support for Israel but told Netanyahu he felt he was “defending Israel in public more than your own government. I’m accused of being a paid apologist for Israel when I defend her; however, if I don’t defend Israel strongly enough, I’m accused of being anti-semitic,” Kirk wrote. “I know you’ve got a 7 front war and my kvetching pales in comparison. But I’m trying to convey to you that Israel is losing support even in conservative circles. This should be a 5 alarm fire.”

Indeed, support for Israel among Republicans has significantly waned over the course of Israel’s war in Gaza. A June poll by Quinnipiac University found that sympathy for Israelis had dropped by 14 points among Republicans over the last year. The drop has been sharper among younger conservatives like those targeted by Turning Point USA.

Netanyahu appeared to cite the letter in a preemptive denial of Israel’s involvement in Kirk’s death earlier this month. Conspiracy theorists on the far right speculated that Israel had played a role in the assassination because Kirk’s support for Israel was softening.

Kirk had long considered himself a defender against antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment in the United States and emphasized that in his letter to Netanyahu. “Everything written here is from a place of deep love for Israel and the Jewish people,” he wrote. “I think it’s important to be brutally honest with those you love. In my opinion, Israel is losing the information war and needs a ‘communications intervention.’”

To remedy Israel’s drastically falling support in the United States, Kirk proposed seven potential solutions: a rapid response media team to push back on criticism, a team of “pro-Israel experts” who can “fact-check misinformation,” an “Israel Truth Network” website to debunk “negative Israel questions,” a speaking tour in the United States of released Israel hostages, a PR campaign featuring interviews with Israelis, more efforts to explain the “Iranian threat” and marketing Israel as a “political candidate.”

Some of the strategies he suggested reflect elements of the media practices adopted by the American right wing. “The question is whether Israel has the willpower to step up its game in this information war,” wrote Kirk. ‘From my vantage point, the status quo is not working. Israel is getting CRUSHED on social media and you are losing younger generations of Americans, even among MAGA conservatives.”

Kirk appeared to have taken his own advice. Last month, he hosted a discussion with Gen Z students from Turning Point USA in which they discussed lessening support for Israel and increasing antisemitism. “The Holy Land is so important to my life, and it pains me to see support for Israel slip away,” Kirk concluded before encouraging Netanyahu to call him at his private number.

It was unclear if Netanyahu took him up on the offer.

Trump is enforcing the law and preventing illegal aliens from claiming tax benefits intended for American citizens. In particular, the rule will clarify that refunded portions of the Earned Income Tax Credit, the Additional Child Tax Credit, the American Opportunity Tax Credit, and the Saver’s Match Credit are federal public benefits and, therefore, illegal aliens and other foreign nationals will not be eligible to receive such benefits.
