Netanyahu Addresses Israel's Mentions In Epstein Files

The video discusses Benjamin Netanyahu's claim that Jeffrey Epstein did not work for Israel, but rather for former Prime Minister Ehud Barak, his political rival (0:00-1:18). The hosts, Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola, challenge this claim by presenting evidence of Epstein's connections to Israel and Netanyahu (1:19-5:55).

Here's a breakdown of the key points:

• Epstein's Connections to Netanyahu (1:41-3:16): The hosts cite a 2023 Daily Beast report stating that Epstein connected Netanyahu to JP Morgan Chase executives in 2011. This meeting, potentially related to the Leviathan oil field in which JP Morgan invested in 2016, suggests a direct link between Epstein and Netanyahu, contradicting Netanyahu's denial.
• Extensive Israeli Connections (4:41-5:55): The video lists numerous connections between Epstein and Israel, including:
  • Negotiating a security agreement between Israel and Mongolia (4:54).
  • Arranging a meeting between Ehud Barak and Vladimir Putin (4:57).
  • Establishing a security meeting between Israel and the Ivory Coast (5:01).
  • Repeatedly hosting an Israeli spy (5:05).
  • Attempting to procure investments for Israeli cyber weapons startups (5:09).
  • Connecting Alan Dershowitz to authors of "The Israel Lobby" (5:14).
  • Exerting control over the Wexner Foundation, which funds pro-Israel causes (5:17).
  • Being connected to key figures in the Iran-Contra scandal, representing the Israelis (5:23).
  • Assisting in the development of the Leviathan oil field (5:28).
  • Pitching an investor from the UAE on an Israeli cybersecurity firm (5:33).
  • Seemingly connecting an ally of Indian PM Narendra Modi to Ehud Barak (5:37).
• Media Silence (6:12-10:04): The hosts criticize mainstream media for not reporting on these extensive connections, suggesting a deliberate cover-up or propaganda on behalf of Israel. They question why independent outlets like "Drop Site News" are the only ones covering these stories.
• Epstein's Power and Intelligence Connections (11:09-13:40): The video highlights Epstein's immense power, citing an instance where he knew what the Pentagon thought about General Petraeus being the ambassador to India. This raises questions about his connections to US intelligence agencies, which the hosts argue are also being ignored by mainstream media.
• Government Protection of Predators (17:35-18:19): The hosts conclude by asserting that the government is protecting predators, citing the lack of investigation into Leon Black, despite allegations of a vicious rape described in the Epstein files. They accuse the national media of being "frauds" and "propagandists" for the CIA and Israel

• According to the video, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denied Jeffrey Epstein's ties to Israel, claiming instead that Epstein was only working on behalf of former Prime Minister Ehud Barak (0:45-0:56). The video suggests this denial is part of Netanyahu's political rivalry, using Epstein's alleged actions as a "political cudgel" against Barak (1:20-1:30).

  The hosts also imply that the broader denial of Epstein's connections to Israel by mainstream media is a form of "Israeli propaganda" (4:45-4:47, 9:36-9:57), suggesting they are "actively lying" to avoid reporting on the numerous connections found in the Epstein files (8:34-8:47).
