Well, he \*is\* influential, considering that he is probably one of the main reasons why the whole Iran war started. As influential and good for everyone as a pandemic, but influential nontheless.

Its pretty insane to watch how easily democracies are infiltrated, china, india, isreal, Saudi, all seem to have so much backing, while lives get universally worse.  Bibi has pretty much has been the one targeting where america will attack in the middle east for 30 years.  I really wish countries would put their people first not their buddies in the epstein class.

Pray, do tell, what does Netanyahu has to do with Epstein other then the fact that they are both Jewish?

Oh I know what you meant. And that's the issue. You could have chosen any other way to describe the "rich and powerful" class, picked any non-Jewish villain, but you did not. There are endless examples, but the threat is about Israel so you must circle back to Jews. Just enough ambiguity to deny it later, but clear enough that everyone understands the implication. And ties to any Israeli politicians... Epstein picked the most powerful people around the world. If your point was about the "elite corruption" than you could have thought of Prince Andrew, Jean-Luc Brunel, Adnan Khashoggi, even Bill Clinton. But that would not serve your dog-whistle. Those references are common across Listnook, and a part of the new wave of antisemitism. When these things start point into this one direction with just enough ambiguity to walk back later, than it stops looking like a criticism of the elite and starts looking like something entirely different.

If u would actually bother reading the article you would quickly realize they arent praising him or showing him in a positive light at all, the person of the year article is simply written about the person who had the most influence when it comes to world events that year.

It seems like the people here dont really understand the point of this list, it simply lists the 100 most influential people in the world, and it doesnt matter if that influence is positive or negative

I’ve not seen anyone suggest or even imply that they think this list is only for people providing positive influence.

What a weird hodgepodge of criminals and popstars this list is. I would feel insulted as either one of those.
