From what I’ve read, Soros’s son shares his father’s politics. Although Soros is old and might soon die, the son is ready to continue dad’s work.
He manages the “open society” terrible foundation.
I can see why Israel doesn’t want Gyorgy boy in their country.
In the long run, he will lose. Israel will rid themselves of the “Palestinians” and will take a chunk of Jordan. God gave Israel a lot more land than they have right now
Considering what he did during WWII I’m surprised nazi hunters didn’t pick him up and toss him into pool of African crocodiles.
Dan Feinreich, TOI Blogs, Mar 14, 2019:
...he fled to London in 1946, and earned a degree from the London School of Economics, where he was a student of a professor named Karl Popper. Popper had written a book titled “The Open Society and its Enemies,” where he advocated the concepts of liberal democracy, freedom of expression, respect for individual rights and rejected totalitarianism, fascism and communism. Popper’s writings had a great influence on Soros’ political philosophy.
Soros moved to New York in 1956 and became one of the most successful hedge fund managers on Wall Street. He is
He is now one of the biggest donors to Democratic Party candidates and left wing groups through his Open Society Foundations (OSF). According to Steinberger, Soros transferred $18 billion to OSF, one of the largest transfers of wealth ever made by a private donor to a single foundation, which made OSF the second biggest philanthropic organization in the U.S., after the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. OSF has 1,800 employees in 35 countries. Soros has funded groups such as the Center for American Progress, MoveOn.org, Media Matters, the Southern Poverty Law Center and many other left wing organizations.
He has also donated to variety of minority groups such as Black Lives Matter, Latino and pro-immigrant groups, and also to groups that defend the rights of transgender people and Muslims...
Soros’ hostility to Israel was not limited to an essay. He has also donated to organizations with an anti-Israel agenda. According to ZOA, “It is a well-documented fact that Soros undercuts Israel at every turn by funding organizations that demonize, defame, and propagandize against Israel, promote anti-Israel boycotts and anti-Israel UN actions, and engage in lawfare (legal warfare) against Jews and the Jewish state.”
A report published by NGO Monitor in 2013 detailed how Soros funded groups “are at the forefront of delegitimizing, spreading false stories … and attacking Israel in every conceivable forum.”
The report, written by Alexander H. Joffe and edited by Gerald M. Steinberg, highlights three separate categories of anti-Israel funding.
The first category details OSF contributions to large international non-governmental organizations (NGO’s) such as Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, as well as Israeli/Palestinian NGO’s such as Al-Haq, Al-Mezan, Yesh Din, Breaking the Silence and Adalah. The objective of these groups is to implement the “Durban” strategy, which was adopted at the 2001 UN Conference on Racism in Durban, South Africa. At this event, the participants labeled Israel an “[sic]apartheid state” and called for “the imposition of comprehensive sanctions and full cessation of all links (diplomatic, economic, military, and training) between all states and Israel.” These NGO’s paint Israel as “racist” or “apartheid” or accuse Israel of committing “war crimes.” They promote the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement (BDS) and seek to file international lawsuits against Israeli political and military officials.
The second category of funding is for American organizations that seek to undercut public support for Israel in the U.S., including in the American Jewish community. Based on his AIPAC essay from 2007, Soros believed that changes in U.S. Mideast policy could not happen until there was a mechanism to offset AIPAC’s influence. Shortly after his essay was published, Soros got his wish. A new group, JStreet, was formed in 2008 that would promote the policies he had described in his essay. Joffe writes that there is no evidence that Soros personally created JStreet, but he and his family did provide funding that was critical to its formation.
Soros further described his views on Israel in an essay he wrote for the New York Review of Books in April [12], 2007 titled “On Israel, America, and AIPAC.”
He expressed frustration with the Bush administration and the Israeli government for not recognizing the “democratically elected Hamas government” and was also frustrated about Israel’s “insistence on treating Hamas only as a terrorist organization” while refusing to recognize Hamas’ “moderate political wing.” ...
