ADL: Criticizing George Soros Is 'Anti-Semitic'

By Ben Bartee

ADL: Criticizing George Soros Is 'Anti-Semitic

The Anti-Defamation League – one of the premier censorship agencies of the corporate state — has unironically adopted the Hamas human shield tactic of hiding behind Holocaust victims to deflect incoming flak for George Soros, globalist puppeteer extraordinaire.

Hungarian Jewish billionaire, philanthropist and Holocaust survivor George Soros is widely recognized for funding progressive political and social causes, usually through grants made by his Open Society Foundations. As a result, Soros has become a lightning rod for conservative and right-wing groups who object to his funding of liberal causes.

In far-right circles worldwide, Soros’ philanthropy often is recast as fodder for outsized conspiracy theories, including claims that he masterminds specific global plots or manipulates particular events to further his goals. Many of those conspiracy theories employ longstanding anti-semitic myths, particularly the notion that rich and powerful Jews work behind the scenes, plotting to control countries and manipulate global events.

If you are aware that BLM is a Soros funded issue but not aware that Antisemitism is also a Soros funded issue…you're probably just woke..now wake up ffs

The Antisemitism Lurking Behind George Soros Conspiracy Theorieshttps://t.co/lUFFm99Glb

Get it, bigot? Criticizing a foreign billionaire money changer (Soros literally built his fortune trading currencies and wrecking multiple national economies in the process) who uses his ill-gotten fortune to meddle in American politics isn’t about a sincere desire for national sovereignty and local, true political representation.

It’s simply your anti-Semitism showing! So shut your mouth and bow to your multinational overlord unless you want your CBDC spigot shut off! Your children like to eat food, don’t they? Maybe you’ll think about that the next time you stick your neck out to criticize our beloved George Soros.

What these social engineers fail to comprehend – or maybe they do comprehend and have ulterior motives besides actually combatting anti-Semitism as a social force (a topic for another day) – is that these kinds of initiatives, in the long run, only serve to fuel anti-Semitism. Yes, in the immediate term, they might get one or two “domestic terrorists” (or whatever smear they’re using today) banned from social media. But, over time, it will only breed resentment.

Unencumbered free speech is the only way to sort society out, especially in a multi-ethnic, multi-religious one such as the United States. Anything short of that is playing with sectarian fire.

At any rate, Soros is a total hypocrite on this front. Here he is reliving his glory days as a literal Nazi collaborator during which he actively facilitated the confiscation of Jewish property.

“That’s when my character was made,” Soros says, regarding his time as a Nazi collaborator, adding that he has no feeling of guilt about his crimes.

I believe the Chinese will continue to stick pins in us and continue to probe and try and disrupt our society by creating controversy, social and political upheaval and, as long as Biden is president, there is little we can do about it because he and the Obama holdovers are basically in control.

That said, a ground swell of resistance is beginning to form which should, at the very least, slow down their success but it will not stop their penetration. We are an open society. Their's is a closed one and we cannot penetrate  them as they do ours.  Xi is hell bent on destroying us.  He is not willing to compete and do business with us. Live and let live is not something in his lexicon.

Our freedom, our democracy threatens a total communist society because we are a beacon  of light that cannot be overlooked and which Xi fears.  He is paranoid and believes he can survive only by restraining and acting in a totalitarian manner. All dictators do. War is his fall back and if that means depriving his people of a better living, a more comfortable life so be it.

Reagan and Trump understood this. A growing segment of the American society do not.  They actually believe you feed a bully and "he" will relent.  If this drives or dictates our foreign policy we are finished  because we are too busy socializing our military ,spending money on nonsense, and wasting our resources.  The Kerry's and Soroses of the world control the levers of our government and we might as well move our Capitol to Davos.

Israel Isn’t Perfect, but It’s an Example for the Mideast 

By Nadim Koteich

In Israel, the battle to safeguard democracy takes precedence above all else. Despite Iran’s recently enriching uranium at 83% purity—shortening the time to create a nuclear weapon to about two weeks—Israelis remain focused, first and foremost, on fighting for their nation’s democratic principles. This presents a valuable lesson for the rest of the Middle East.

Last Saturday evening, tens of thousands of Israelis gathered across the nation to protest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recently paused judicial-reform plans. That was a mere two days after a brief yet perilous spate of violence visited Israel in the form of missiles fired from Hamas in Lebanon and Gaza.

These unceasing protests—the subject of which isn’t the nation’s increasingly belligerent adversaries but its own government’s judicial-reform plans—reveal the maturity of Israel’s democracy. More specifically, they underscore that for many Israelis the pursuit of the rule of law is superior to national-security concerns.

While Israel debates policy and holds regular elections, much of the Middle East remains under authoritarian rule that quashes political discourse and silences dissent under the saying “No voice goes higher than the voice of the battle.” As a Lebanese who has lived under the dictatorships of Hezbollah and Bashar al-Assad, I’ve witnessed how this slogan has been used to free autocrats from accountability for economic disarray, the erosion of human rights, and the destruction of infrastructure.

Any Middle Eastern observer would draw a distinction between the demonstrations in Israel and the protests elsewhere in the region—including, more recently, in Iran, Iraq and Lebanon. In those countries, public dissent is often described by the authorities as treasonous, the work of foreign enemies, or both. These claims are used to justify harsh repression in the form of lawless imprisonment and execution.

Yet when similar conspiracy theories surfaced in Israel—suggesting, as the prime minister’s son did, that demonstrations were prompted and supported by Washington—Israelis firmly rejected them. Israelis’ resistance to these ideas further showcases the strength of their democratic commitment.

Israel’s democracy isn’t flawless. The state grapples with its two goals—preserving its Jewish core while promoting inclusivity for all, including Arab Israelis. This dilemma sometimes marginalizes the latter group and perpetuates socioeconomic inequalities. The low political participation and representation of Arabs hinders their influence. Likewise, Israel’s resettlement policies in the West Bank tarnish its democratic image, raising concerns about its commitment to liberty, equality and justice. Addressing these issues is crucial to strengthen Israeli democracy and foster a genuinely inclusive society.

But the Palestinian issue shouldn’t be the sole metric by which we measure Israel’s standing as a democracy. Few countries in the Middle East have a sterling record when dealing with ethnic or racial minorities. Ask the Kurds and Christians in Iraq, Syria, Iran and Turkey, or consider the hostilities between Sunni and Shiite Muslims.

Nevertheless, Israel’s democracy stands tall. Its current struggle is a fight to uphold the rule of law, which ought to be the primary focus of the region’s people and leaders, particularly given the prevailing conception that conditions aren’t ripe for a fully developed democracy in the Arab world.

Countries such as the United Arab Emirates have embraced the principles of good governance, advocating transparency, accountability and the rule of law as cornerstones for economic and social development. The U.A.E., a federation of seven sheikhdoms led by Abu Dhabi, has achieved stability and progress without adhering to a wholly democratic model. In recent years, it has maintained its ability to attract and retain talent, especially in the fields of fintech, artificial intelligence and the arts—all of which rely heavily on an efficient judicial system that safeguards intellectual-property rights and fosters a business-friendly environment. By adopting the rule of law, the U.A.E. stands at the forefront of efforts to foster a more inclusive and peaceful future for the Middle East—as seen in its signing the historic Abraham Accords with Israel, Morocco, Sudan and Bahrain.

The battle to safeguard Israeli democracy and the rule of law will doubtless continue for some time. As we in the Middle East observe this unfolding drama, we can glean valuable insights that, if employed wisely, could improve the region’s well-being and security for years to come.

Honest Reporting sets the record straight but no one cares

+++

Not Again: CNN Producer Tamara Qiblawi Promotes Anti-Israel Conspiracy Theories, Jokes About Jewish State's Destruction   A CNN journalist shared a string of offensive, anti-Israel and pro-terror comments on social media, HonestReporting revealed, following up on six other revelations of blatantly antisemitic journalists since last August. A slanted April 8 CNN International article headlined "Attacks in West Bank, Tel Aviv as tensions remain high following Israeli strikes" initially failed to note that the airstrikes were in response to acts of aggression from terrorist groups in Gaza and Lebanon.   Watering Down the Facts: Israel, the Palestinians & Access to Water   One of the most pernicious lies that continues to be spread about Israel is the claim that the Jewish state purposefully denies the local Palestinian population access to drinking water, effectively creating a water-related humanitarian crisis in the West Bank and Gaza. As outlined in this article, all of these allegations have no basis in fact and are solely meant to taint Israel’s reputation in the international arena.         The Guardian Features Gaza Journalist Who Wrote Pro-Terrorist, Antisemitic Social Media Posts   In the last month alone, HonestReporting has called out and complained about numerous pieces published by the Guardian, including an "investigation" that simultaneously sought to downplay Palestinian terrorism and conflated the deaths of terrorists with that of their victims and a story comprising mostly agency copy that had been carefully edited to twist the facts. Our latest analysis of the Guardian's Israel-related output has uncovered another disturbing finding: the outlet has worked with a Palestinian journalist with a history of praising terrorists who were behind several horrific terror attacks that killed dozens of innocent Israeli civilians. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The wanton assassinations by Palestinians must be repaid many fold.  There comes a time when several eyes for an eye is the only thing Palestinians understand. +++ "Palestinian Arabs committed this vile deed. But they are consistently backed, encouraged, sanitised, excused and incentivised by many others who have accordingly kept this war of extermination going for the past century. Lucy Dee and her two daughters, along with Alessandro Parini, are the latest victims of it and they won’t be the last.  To the UK Foreign Office, the US State Department, the BBC, the Guardian, Ha’aretz, Lucy Winkett and all the other supersessionist Jew-haters and Israel-bashers of the Christian world, along with the rest of the “progressive” west: their blood is on your heads. " An unspeakable atrocity The pain is made so much worse by the pusillanimity of the west MELANIE PHILLIPS Rabbi Leo Dee breaks down at the funeral of his murdered daughters The heart breaks. The pain currently being felt by Rabbi Leo Dee and his family is unimaginable.  On Friday, as the rabbi drove towards Tiberias in northern Israel for a Passover break with his family, the car following him carrying his wife Lucy (Leah) and two of his daughters, Maia and Rina, was ambushed by Palestinian Arab gunmen and crashed into the barrier. The gunmen then approached the car and shot Lucy and her daughters at point blank range with 20 bullets from a Kalashnikov rifle. Maia and Rina were killed on the spot. Lucy was left fighting for her life. Yesterday, Rabbi Dee buried his daughters. “How will I explain to Lucy what has happened to our two precious gifts?” he wept. Today, Lucy died. This unspeakable atrocity has united Israel in horror. Once again, Israeli Jews have been murdered for nothing other than the fact that they are Jews living in their ancestral homeland. Once again, a quiet, wholesome, blameless family has been shattered forever by the forces of evil bent upon exterminating Jews.  Hours after the attack on the Dee family, an Italian tourist, Alessandro Parini, was murdered and several people injured in a car-ramming terror attack in Tel Aviv. Since September 2000, Palestinian Arabs have murdered at least 1420 Israelis. Over the past year, at least 30 Israelis have been murdered in such attacks. For months, there have been multiple attempted attacks against Israeli citizens almost every day.  For Anglo-Jews, however, the attack on the Dee family isn’t just close to home. It is home. Rabbi Dee was a community rabbi in Radlett, just outside London, from 2011-2014 when the family moved to Israel. He and his family are well known and much admired in Britain’s Jewish community. The Anglo-Jewish world, both in Israel and in Britain, is numb with grief and shock.  The atrocity was unspeakable. What makes it all the more unbearable is the reaction from so much of the west to such horror. The Dee family lives in Efrat and the attack happened in the Jordan valley, all part of the disputed territories of Judea and Samaria. Israeli Jews who are attacked in these territories tend to be dehumanised by western commentators as “settlers'“ in the “occupied territories” who were “asking for it”; or they are airbrushed out of media coverage altogether.   This is even though the Palestinian Arabs have been murdering Jews in Israel and these territories for more than a century, decades before the so-called “occupation of the West Bank” after the 1967 six day war, and decades before the State of Israel even came into existence in 1948. The West disapproves of Israeli Jews in these areas because so many westerners have fallen for the ludicrous fiction that the Palestinian Arabs were the indigenous people of the land — a status that belongs to the Jews alone. Because so much of the west has swallowed the lie that has airbrushed the Jews out of their own history in the land, the sympathies of much of the world are even more unspeakable with the Palestinian Arab perpetrators of these attacks. Of course, people in the west don’t say as much. They may utter instead boilerplate pieties; but over the attack upon the Dee family, these have been perfunctory — or worse. The initial response of the UK government was shocking. As Israel’s former ambassador to the US Michael Oren tweeted in disgust:  The British government was “saddened to hear about the deaths of British-Israeli citizens and the serious injuries sustained by a third individual” and called on “all parties to de-escalate tensions”. No mention of Palestinians or terror, no outrage. The sisters merely “died” and a third person was somehow injured. The citizens are not really British but a  qualified “British-Israelis”. And “all” parties, including the Israeli victims, are urged to de-escalate.  Shame on Britain. Here by contrast was Italian prime minister Meloni’s response to the murder of an Italian citizen last night: “I express deep sorrow and condolences for the death of one of our nationals, Allesandro Parini, in the terrorist attack that took place in  the evening in Tel Aviv. Condolences to the victim’s family, to the wounded, and solidarity with the State of Israel for the cowardly attack that hit him”. That’s moral clarity and leadership. The dead were from a British family. You might have thought the British government would be outraged at the murder of three of its citizens. You might have thought that it would seek to hold the Palestinian Arabs to account for their incitement and complicity.  But of course, the British government is itself complicit in this and in all the other attacks on Israelis. That’s because it connives at the incitement to murder Israeli Jews by continuing to insist falsely that Israel is in “illegal occupation”; it continues to sanitise or ignore fanatical Palestinian Arab Islamic incitement to murder Israeli Jews and steal their land; it continues to refuse to exert any pressure on the Palestinian Arabs to cease its war of extermination against the State of Israel. Instead, it calls on both sides to “de-escalate” — an obscene moral equivalence between terrorists and terrorised, which means in practice telling Israel not to take the action that’s necessary to protect its people. In similar vein, the UN Special Rapporteur Occupied Palestinian Territory (sic) Francesca Albanese tweeted: The loss of life in the oPt (HK- I presume "Occupied Palestinian Territories ? ) & Israel is devastating, especially at a time that should be of peace for all, Christians, Jews, Muslims. Israel has a right to defend itself, but can't claim it when it comes to the people it oppresses/whose lands it colonises. The Jews are the only people with any legal, historical or moral claim to this land. That’s why in 1922 the international community enshrined in treaty law the pledge to settle the Jews alone in the whole of Mandate of  Palestine — the land that is now Israel, the “West Bank” and Gaza. The would-be colonisers are not the Jews. The would-be colonisers are, as they have been for decades, the Arabs. These comments by Albanese and the UK government were sick. Alas, this is what passes for conventional wisdom among so many in the west and is unchallengeable dogma in liberal and left-wing circles. After the death of Lucy Dee, and doubtless aware of the gathering outrage over the British government’s initial response, the Foreign Secretary James Cleverly tweeted:  Tragic news that Leah Dee has also died following the abhorrent attacks in the West Bank. There can be no justification for the murder of Leah and her two daughters, Maia and Rina. We will continue to work with the Israeli authorities to end this senseless violence. This was too little, too late, and still utterly vacuous. The attack on the Dee family wasn’t “senseless violence”. It was part of a century-old Arab strategy of extermination aimed at removing the Jewish presence from the entire land. Unless the UK government starts exerting pressure on the Palestinian Authority by reducing aid and diplomatic recognition until it stops its murderous incitement and rejectionism, all such protestations of sympathy for Israeli terrorist victims will remain merely nauseating hypocrisy.  And let’s not overlook as well the sly references by Lucy Winkett, Canon of St James Piccadilly, on BBC Today’s Thought for the Day slot on Good Friday (listen here on BBC Sounds at 1hr 50 minutes in) hours before the attack on the Dee family. Woven into rambling about being a good neighbour, Winkett — who has long-standing form as an Israel-basher — included lightly-coded trigger phrases about “an occupying army brutalised by its occupation” and the “killing of God”. This was a veiled but unmistakable reference to the Crucifixion as a “deicide” — the lethal accusation derived from medieval Christian supersessionism, and which often provoked pogroms during Passover by precisely such sentiments voiced by the priests in inflammatory Good Friday sermons. Supersessionism — aka replacement theology — was supposedly disowned by the church because of the thousands of Jews slaughtered across Europe as result by vengeful Christian mobs. It has, however, resurfaced in the Church of England and other “progressive” Christian denominations lightly disguised as support for the Palestinian Arab cause. And to all of this sickening reaction by the British establishment, there has been (at time of writing) not a peep of protest from Britain’s Jewish leadership. But wait — a headline in Ha’aretz says: British Jews Are Finally Speaking Out…  oh dear, not against the appeasement of the terrorist Palestinian Arabs but against Netanyahu and the Israeli Far-Right. Ah yes, of course. For in parallel with the degradation of western discourse over Israel is the degradation of Britain’s Jewish leadership, ever-anxious to remain in slavish lockstep with the British political and cultural establishment and its vogueish obsessions. These pusillanimous people have been put to shame by a decent Muslim, Noor Dahri. He tweeted:  I feel so sorry and have no words to express my grief. Two innocent British teen sisters were murdered by my co-religious people (Palestinians) in the name of my faith. My religion hasn’t permitted them to kill innocent people in its name at all. They don’t belong to my religious principles but unfortunately most of my Muslim followers (whom I know) are supporting them in killing Jews and call these acts of resistance and reaction which I feel ashamed of them. I am so sorry but my unconditional support will always remain with you. Jews have absolute right in the holy land to celebrate and enjoy Passover with peace. Never feel weak because you aren’t born helpless. Never Again. May Allah rest victims in peace. Amen.  Palestinian Arabs committed this vile deed. But they are consistently backed, encouraged, sanitised, excused and incentivised by many others who have accordingly kept this war of extermination going for the past century. Lucy Dee and her two daughters, along with Alessandro Parini, are the latest victims of it and they won’t be the last.  To the UK Foreign Office, the US State Department, the BBC, the Guardian, Ha’aretz, Lucy Winkett and all the other supersessionist Jew-haters and Israel-bashers of the Christian world, along with the rest of the “progressive” west: their blood is on your heads. Remarkably, there have been no words of hatred from Rabbi Dee. No words of bitterness, no calls for revenge. Only an expression of trust that justice will be done; a reiteration of the balance within Judaism between justice and love; and the beyond-moving hope  — after his wife finally succumbed to her injuries — that by choosing good over evil we can all make the world a better place. To glimpse this rabbi’s amazing courage and steadfastness, watch these two video clips here and here.  May the memory of Lucy, Maia and Rina Dee be a blessing. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
