About the Show

Understanding Israel Palestine

This show is inspired by Citizens for Justice in the Middle East, a local group that has advocated for 20 years for a fair and even-handed U.S. foreign policy that recognizes the rights of both Palestinians and Israelis. Our program offers interviews with journalists, scholars, policy experts and activists to offer multiple perspectives, and to clarify the underlying issues that are often obscured by headline news.

For this week’s show, producer Jeremy Rothe-Kushel speaks with Kirby Sommers, author of books like “Jeffrey Epstein: Predator, Spy” & “Ghislaine Maxwell: An Unauthorized Biography” and an advocate for victims of sex trafficking, about what the deep political background of espionage not covered in the upcoming Ghislaine Maxwell trial can tell us about the US-Israel ‘special relationship’ and government by blackmail.

Kirby Sommers is the author of over a dozen books. She is an investigative journalist and an advocate for human rights. She writes the weekly Epstein Project newsletter and hosts the Epstein Project podcast. Her books include The Billionaire’s Woman: A Memoir, Jeffrey Epstein: Predator, Spy, Jeffrey Epstein, Revealed (co-authored with Bob Fitrakis), Bonnie’s Clyde: The True Story of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, Ghislaine Maxwell: An Unauthorized Biography and several others.
