George Soros, billionaire, is antagonistic towards Israel. Is it just a pretense to protect Israel from more hatred? It doesn't seem to be. The list of organizations is a veritable who’s who of hostile, anti-Israel actors. One of the leaked documents shows that between 2001 and 2015, Soros funneled over $9.5 million into a range of groups including Adalah-A leading Palestinian Arab non-partisan, community-wide, non-governmental organisation located in Israel, which was established by four healthcare ..., the Al-Tufula Center-that supports Arab women in Nazareth, Israel and empowers them; the Arab Association for Human Rights, Baladna-a Qatari agricultural company that raises livestock and produces dairy products; The Galilee Society-A leading Palestinian Arab non-partisan, community-wide, non-governmental organization located in Israel, which was established by four healthcare ..., Molad,-promoting ending all Jewish settlements in West Bank; the New Israel Fund-NIF is a tool for people who want to pool resources to help build a better Israel. SUPPORT JUSTICE AND EQUALITY. Take a Stand for a Better Israel, probably in Soros's view; . and others. Billionaire George Soros generally does not hide the fact that he uses the considerable funds at his disposal to support his extremist, leftist ideals.
What about the attacks against billionaire Jewish philanthropist George Soros? I ask. I don't like Soros, either, but for far different reasons that Orban, I'm sure. Soros was a teen during the Holocaust, a victim who was as emotionally damaged as many other survivors. How he turned his life into luxury and money is beyond my understanding. The New Israel Fund he donates to describes itself as active on the issues of civil and human rights, women's rights, religious status, human rights for Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied territories, the rights of Israel's Arab minority, and freedom of speech. The New Israel Fund is the largest foreign donor to progressive causes in Israel. Its financial support for Breaking the Silence, Adalah, B’Tselem, Yesh Din, and other groups allegedly hostile to Zionist values has drawn criticism. He helps the Palestinians, not the Jews. It isn't making the Palestinians ending their firing rockets from Gaza or flying kites of fire into the forests or ending the terrorism.
It's obvious to me Soros is anti-Zionistic, and to me that's anti-Semitism in itself; pretty bad for a man who suffered in the Holocaust. Even if no antisemitic insinuation is intended, casting a Jewish individual as a puppet master who manipulates national events for malign purposes has the effect of mainstreaming antisemitic tropes and giving support, however unwitting, to bona fide antisemites and extremists who disseminate these ideas knowingly and with malice.
Born in Budapest in 1930, George Soros is chair of Soros Fund Management LLC. As one of history’s most successful financiers, his views on investing and economic issues are widely followed. (He's 92 years old). This is the official site for information about George Soros. Born in Hungary , he lived through the Nazi occupation of 1944–1945, which resulted in the murder of over 500,000 Hungarian Jews. His own Jewish family survived by securing false identity papers, concealing their backgrounds, and helping others do the same. Soros later recalled that “instead of submitting to our fate, we resisted an evil force that was much stronger than we were—yet we prevailed. Not only did we survive, but we managed to help others.”
George Soros HonFBA is a Hungarian-born American businessman and philanthropist. As of March 2021, he had a net worth of US$8.6 billion, having donated more than $32 billion to the Open Society Foundations, of which $15 billion have already been distributed, representing 64% of his original fortune.
In the 2017 parliamentary election, Orbán promoted anti-Semitic imagery of powerful Jewish financiers scheming to control the world. Thousands of posters of a grinning Soros with the slogan “Let’s not allow Soros to have the last laugh!” were posted around the country on billboards, on the metro, and on the floors of Budapest’s trams. Israel’s ambassador to Hungary issued a statement denouncing the campaign, saying it “evokes sad memories but also sows hatred and fear”, an apparent reference to Hungary’s part in the deportation of 500,000 Jews during the Holocaust.
Zsolt Bayer, Hungarian journalist who called Jews ‘stinking excrement’ addresses CPAC conference. Zsolt Bayer, who has history of antisemitic and racist comments, among speakers at event held by US conservative group in Budapest that included speeches from Trump and Tucker Carlson.
The New York Times ran an article announcing Orban was a friend to Israel and to Bigots. He plays a double game on anti-Semitism. One of Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s close political allies, journalist Zsolt Bayer, published a vicious rant this month denigrating, among others, the United States and President Joe Biden. Then he picked on the US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken.
Young Antony Blinken b: 16 April 1962 in Yonkers, New York, to Jewish parents, Judith (Frehm) and Donald M. Blinken, who later served as U.S. ambassador to Hungary.His maternal grandparents were Hungarian Jews. Blinken's uncle, Alan Blinken, served as the U.S. ambassador to Belgium.His paternal grandfather, Maurice Henry Blinken, was an early backer of Israel who studied its economic viability, and his great-grandfather was Meir Blinken, a Yiddish writer.
The most disturbing element of Bayer’s column, however, is that at a time when Secretary of State Antony Blinken is taking a lead in decrying the recent explosion of worldwide antisemitism, Orban’s friend wrapped up his argument by using a time-honored antisemitic slur to characterize Blinken, who is Jewish. Bayer ridiculed the assertion that Blinken had “Hungarian roots” even though his mother’s family were Jewish Hungarians who immigrated to the United States. Bayer rudely addressed the new secretary of state and exclaimed “You are completely a ROOTLESS! Hungarian as you are a rootless American.”
Remember, Hitler maligned Jews as a “rootless international clique that incites nations against each other”; Stalin employed the “rootless cosmopolitan” charge to question the patriotism of Soviet Jews and as a prelude to begin purges against prominent Soviet Jews in the 1940s and ’50s.
Zsolt Bayer, a founding member of Orbán’s ruling Fidesz party, received the Order of Merit of the Knight’s Cross this weekend for his “exemplary journalistic work,” according to the official gazette Magyar Közlöny, Bloomberg reported. His anti-Semitism passed with colors and was exemplary! If that's how Orban sees it, it makes him all the more of an anti-Semite.
In a 2013 article, Bayer wrote that “a significant portion of the Gypsies are unfit for coexistence; not fit to live among human beings. These people are animals and behave like animals.” The article was deemed racist, and the state media authority fined the Magyar Hírlap daily where it appeared, according to the Hungarian Spectrum website.
It seems that PM Viktor Orban, telling the world that Hungary had no part in the Holocaust, has forgotten that Miklos Horthy, past government official who cozied up to Hitler, had a lot to do with the Holocaust. He seems to ignore the fact that Zsolt Bayer, of his own party, is a real anti-Semite.
On an early page of Night, Elie Wiesel’s autobiographical account of the Holocaust, he recalls the Hungarian police’s orders as they echoed throughout his small Jewish ghetto. “Faster! Faster! Move, you lazy good-for-nothings!,” they screamed.
“That was when I began to hate them, and my hatred remains our only link today,” he writes. “They were our first oppressors. They were the first faces of hell and death.”
The Hungarian police were almost as bad as the Nazis.
In a country where anti-Semitism is alarmingly commonplace, it’s irresponsible for the government to use taxpayers’ money to run a campaign that plays into anti-Semitic tropes and encourages hateful views. Hungary’s government should aim to tamp down intolerance, not stir it up. And why are the American Republican Party listening to Orban?
