Marty Peretz seems to have reached out to Jeffrey Epstein a few times over the years, often obsequiously seeking donations to YIVO, a Yiddish cultural institution, where Peretz served on the board (Epstein did donate)

Returning to Epstein, the sick thing is that, as posts like the ones I shared above show, the online Right can now point to Epstein as ‘proof’ that their conspiratorial ideas about Jews are true. A cursed reactionary feedback loop

The same thing happened with early Zionist leaders. Men like Herzl & Max Nordau shared Europe’s antisemitic assumption that ‘the Jews’ were foreign parasites on the continent & needed to regenerate themselves as brutal musclemen in the Middle East. And they courted the idea with

from the doors of elite country clubs, Epstein & a few associates can pantomime those ideas inside. Epstein didn’t control the world but in a vertigo-inducing twist of history, he was in a position to relish the thought that he did & laugh about it with the alt-right.

Epstein’s ideas about Jews reflect his class position. A glimpse into 19th & 20th century history shows most Western business & political elites viewed Jews as clannish all-powerful puppet-masters. Today, in an era when the ‘no Jews allowed’ signs have slipped somewhat

It’s not so surprising that Epstein seems to have internalized & privately promoted many alt-right antisemitic ideas. Reactionaries of different stripes all see the world in basically the same way, as zero-sum competition between antagonistic racial/religious groups

“An immediate de-escalation on all sides”???
Imagine telling Jews to de-escalate during the Holocaust, or African Americans to de-escalate during Jim Crow.
Every Jewish institution must look at itself and ask what they are doing to end fascism.

There were once plenty of regime loyalists who described the Nazi Gestapo’s targeting of Jews, Roma, dissidents, queer folks & more as so many ‘fatal encounters with law enforcement’. That’s how the head of the ADL just described the ICE murder of Renée Good & Alex Pretti

There were those who called the Nazi persecution of Jews “fatal encounters with law enforcement” while it was happening. Today we call them what they were— collaborators.
