  • Decades before Epstein became a household name, former Israeli intelligence officer Ari Ben-Menashe wrote in his 1992 memoir that Barak feared Peres or the Americans would discover the slush fund bank accounts where the arms profits were hidden, and take the money for themselves. Ben-Menashe claimed that Barak arranged for media mogul Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine Maxwell’s father, to launder the Iran weapons profits through his companies’ accounts, and hide the money in Soviet banks where they could not be touched by the Americans.

    In 1991, four years after Iran-Contra, Maxwell disappeared from his 180-foot yacht, the Lady Ghislaine, while it cruised off the Canary Islands.

    So Robert Maxwell may have been killed for hiding money from Shimon Peres, for Ehud Barak…



  • We were all assured repeatedly over the last several weeks following Tucker Carlson’s interview with Nick Fuentes that “organized Jewry” is an “anti-Semitic conspiracy theory.”

    What exactly is this, then?

    In response to Chris, I would say it’s essential to note that this is not equivalent to all “Jewry” or all Jews, to take note of organizations such as Jewish Voice for Peace which oppose Zionism, the 43% of New York Jews that supported Mamdani. Anti-Zionist Jews deserve to not be grouped in with the people in the article.

    But it does seem clear from the evidence that Chris presents, that Jewish Nationalists are collaborating internationally in a vigorous, organized manner.










  • Let me briefly document a couple of distinguished foreign correspondents in Jerusalem who were made examples of, and then provide more recent illustrations of my own run-ins with Western editors.

    In the book Publish It Not (1975), Michael Adams, The Guardian’s Jerusalem correspondent in the late 1960s, sets out his struggles to persuade the paper to believe his accounts of systematic Israeli brutality following its military occupation of the Palestinian territories in 1967. His editors, like the rest of the media, preferred to believe Israel’s claim that its occupation was “the most enlightened in history.”

    When Adams tried to challenge that assumption, by reporting on Israel’s ethnic cleansing of three Palestinian villages under cover of the 1967 war — the villages were destroyed and would later become a green space for Israelis called Canada Park — he was pushed out of the paper. He recounts that his editor told him “he would never again publish anything I wrote about the Middle East.”

    Then there was Donald Neff, Time Magazine’s bureau chief in the 1970s. He was eased out after reporting in 1978 on Israeli soldiers savagely beating Palestinian children in Beit Jala, a West Bank community near Bethlehem. It was a very tame story by today’s standards, given that we now have actual footage of Israeli soldiers committing crimes against humanity, often posted on their own social media. But then such a report had the power to shock.

    Neff’s bureau staff — all of them Israeli Jews — responded in open revolt to his story. Official Israeli sources refused to speak to him. The Israel lobby in the U.S. began a public campaign against Neff and Time. His editors were unsupportive, and the story was ignored by other US media. Isolated and exhausted from the attacks, Neff left his post.
