Simcha Jacobovici explores a troubling pattern in global media: the selective highlighting of Jeffrey Epstein’s Jewish identity
In this episode of Simcha’s Sessions, investigative Journalist Simcha Jacobovici explores a troubling pattern in global media: the selective highlighting of Jeffrey Epstein’s Jewish identity.
While Epstein’s crimes are undeniable and deserves condemnation, Simcha argues that his "Jewishness" is being weaponized by anti-Semitic groups to fit harmful tropes of power and predation. By contrast, the Jewish heritage of world-changing figures like Einstein, Spinoza, and Columbus is often minimized or "airbrushed" from history.
In this video, we discuss:
🔹 The contrast between how the media treats Jewish "do-gooders" vs. criminals.
🔹 How historical figures like Jesus and Spinoza have been "un-Jewified" in the cultural consciousness.
🔹 The dangerous link between modern online tropes and historical pogroms.
🔹 Why we must remain vigilant against Nazi ideologies resurfacing in mainstream discourse.
