The OP also mentioned Epstein, a Jew, and then made the leap that he must have been associated with Mossad.

Yes, totally a leap. Just check out the list of coincidences that Schmerika made in this thread. Epstein could have been a Nigerian spy as much as a Mossad one, am I right?

Sure, there are tons of conspiracy theories about Nigerian spies...

But I'm not sure why it's more likely that Epstein was a Mossad spy over CIA or Russian or any other spy agency.

I am not sure what the evidence was that he was an intelligent operative at all as opposed to just a depraved, rich, criminal.

How do you run a crime organization that big and that out in the open (communicating openly via email, which not even the biggest drug cartels dare to do) without getting taken down by the various intelligence agencies of the world, even avoiding the U.S. federal law enforcement for the longest time?

Where in their comment did they claim Jews secretly run the world?

The implication that the nation state of Israel has a lot of influence on US politicians is pretty clear and obvious at this point, and is not the same thing as “Jews run the world”.

If we replaced Israel with India, pointing out that India has immense influence on US politicians wouldn’t be the same as saying “Hindus run the world”. Nation states are not proxies for their ethnic groups like that.

It’s quite obvious from the tropey language used in both your comments and wild claims you are making about Israel because Epstein was Jewish that you do link Jews with Israel when it comes to hating on them.
