The New York Times on Tuesday ignited a wave of backlash after revealing a framed photograph of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman displayed inside the New York City mansion of convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The article, which takes readers inside the late convicted paedophile’s seven-storey Manhattan home, features surveillance cameras positioned above his bed and in adjoining rooms, taxidermied animals, and provocative artwork, including a sculpture of a bride clutching a rope suspended from the ceiling in the atrium.

The criticism escalated as people connected the image to long-standing allegations of Gulf-Israeli collaboration.

Sam Youssef, author and editor of American and International Affairs, asked: “Do you now understand why Arab rulers kneel to Netanyahu and the Mossad?”

    JFC talking about a fucked up over generalization

    “Jews love raping children”

    “Blacks love raping children”

    Do I even need to continue to make the point? Yeah, (ultra) rich people probably are abusing employees and probably are way too much creative with taxes and I could point out a whole lot more selfish behavior but FFS dude, you’re really making shit up here.

    Rich people are very problematic and shouldn’t be allowed to exist (as in, make them as rich as everyone else though heavy taxes for them, not murdering them all), there is no need to make sick shit up just for shits and giggles
