Son of a Jewish family, he lived the German occupation of Hungary. On his role in it, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.enlacejudio.com\/2015\/10\/02\/george-soros-y-la-destruccion-de-israel\/\">a digital newspaper of the Jewish community of Mexico, Enlace Ju\u00edlio, commented in 2015<\/a>: <em>\"<strong>He started working his filth early, very young, for a Judenrat and helping the Nazis in the deportation of our brothers from Hungary. ... while purchasing your confiscated assets for his benefit.<\/strong> However, according to a recent television interview, he does not feel remorse, saying that it was \u00abthe happiest period of his life\u00bb.\"<\/em><\/p>\n<p><big>What made him jump to fame: the attack on the pound sterling in 1992<\/big><\/p>\n<p>This character <strong>accumulated a huge fortune through financial speculation.<\/strong> The episode that made him famous happened in 1992, when one through one of his investment funds, the Quantum Fund, <strong>he carried out a speculative attack against the pound sterling, knocking it down and pocketing a billion dollars in the operation.<\/strong> You can read more details about it in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gurusblog.com\/archives\/como-george-soros-tumbo-la-libra-esterlina\/17\/05\/2014\/\">this article of Gurusblog<\/a>, a website specializing in economic issues. Maneuvers like this are the ones that started to give Soros a bad name, but they have not been the only ones.<\/p>\n<p><big>A Jew who sponsors anti-Israel and anti-Semitic groups<\/big><\/p>\n<p>One of the most well-known facets of Soros today is his status as \"philanthropist\", a word that many media use to refer to him as a <strong>sponsor of various left movements, abortionists and in favor of open borders and mass immigration.<\/strong> But in addition, he has also financed organizations hostile to the State of Israel. Last October, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thejewishstar.com\/stories\/trump-is-right-about-soros,16074\">a Jewish American digital newspaper, The Jewish Star, denounced<\/a>: <em>\"<strong>While Soros is Jewish, he funds so many anti-Israel and anti-Semitic organizations that it is hard to believe any criticism of him to be based on his Jewish background.<\/strong> In addition to supporting the Woman\u2019s March, which is run by anti-Semites, since 2001 the Soros network has given $2,688,561 to Adalah, which has accused Israel of war crimes and contributed charges to the now-disgraced Goldstone Report. Adalah has also called on governments the world over to sever or downgrade diplomatic relations with Israel.\"<\/em> <strong>The Jewish Star also referred to the sponsorship by Soros of other groups that promote the boycott and isolation against the State of Israel<\/strong>, such as the Palestinian group I'lam and the American organization New Israel Fund (which in turn also sponsors the aforementioned Adalah and other <strong>initiatives that have been accused of anti-Semites, such as the BDS<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p><big>The allegation of Soros in defense of Hamas, an anti-Semitic and negationist criminal gang<\/big><\/p>\n<p>The attitude of the American billionaire towards the Jewish people has left moments as shameful as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/8835d6dc-d54a-11db-a5c6-000b5df10621\">the article that George Soros wrote on March 18, 2007 in the Financial Times, entitled: <em>\"America and Israel must open the door to Hamas.\"<\/em><\/a> In that article, <strong>Soros defended \"a political solution with Hamas,\"<\/strong> even whitening that Islamist organization with the following argument: <em>\"Both Israel and the US seem frozen in their unwillingness to negotiate with a Palestinian Authority that includes Hamas. <strong>The sticking-point is Hamas\u2019s unwillingness to recognise the existence of Israel, but that could be made a condition for an eventual settlement<\/strong> rather than a precondition for negotiations.\"<\/em> What Soros forgot to say is that <strong>Hamas is a terrorist group and radically anti-Semitic<\/strong>; years before that article of Soros, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtoninstitute.org\/policy-analysis\/view\/palestinian-holocaust-denial\">Hamas denied the Jewish Holocaust at the hands of the nazis<\/a>. Only six days before the publication of that article by the billionaire, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-palestinians-qaeda\/hamas-says-still-seeks-israels-destruction-idUSL1229777020070312\">Hamas claimed that it sought the destruction of the State of Israel.<\/a> And they have not limited himself to saying it: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2008\/12\/29\/israel-lo-que-no-te-cuentan\/\">the terrorist group has been attacking the Israeli civilian population with rockets and mortars<\/a>, in order to sow terror among them.<\/p>\n<p><big>The links between Soros and Iran and the passivity of the EU in this regard<\/big><\/p>\n<p>More recently, in September 2018, the Israeli newspaper Arutz Sheva noted that Iran's Foreign Minister, Mohammad Zarif, has acknowledged that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.israelnationalnews.com\/News\/News.aspx\/251472\">the Iranian government has been working closely with the Open Society Foundations (OSF), the organization that Soros uses to sponsor various political causes.<\/a> Zarif made those statements before the Iranian Parliament. After learning the information, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.europarl.europa.eu\/doceo\/document\/E-8-2018-004594_EN.html\">Italian MEP Mario Borghezio asked an official question in the European Parliament<\/a> addressed to the European Commission, noting that Iran is <em>\"a theocratic regime that imprisons political dissidents, prosecutes homosexuals and segregates women is concerning\"<\/em>, and that some MEPs <em>\"have links to organisations headed by Soros.\"<\/em> Borghezio asked: <strong><em>\"Does the Commission not believe that such a serious contradiction, between the stated aims of the OSF and the relations it maintains, should prompt a review of the links between EU institutions and organisations belonging to George Soros?\"<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.europarl.europa.eu\/doceo\/document\/E-8-2018-004594-ASW_EN.html\">The answer of the European Commission arrived on November 29.<\/a> In the style of Pontius Pilate, he said: <em>\"<strong>The Commission is not in a position to comment on alleged links between Members of the European Parliament and non-governmental organisations.<\/strong> Furthermore, the relations between foreign governments and other entities are solely at the discretion of these governments.\"<\/em> It is surprising that the EU should wash its hands like this in the face of the links between Soros and <a href=\"https:\/\/elpais.com\/internacional\/2005\/12\/14\/actualidad\/1134514804_850215.html\">the Iranian regime, which has called the Holocaust a \"myth invented by the West\"<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telam.com.ar\/notas\/201901\/325008-fuerza-aerea-iran-preparada-destruir-israel.html\">that threatens to destroy Israel.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><big>The Government of Israel has denounced his activities against the Jewish state<\/big><\/p>\n<p>Soros' support for Israel's enemies has been so blatant that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-israel-hungary-soros\/israel-backs-hungary-says-financier-soros-is-a-threat-idUSKBN19V1J4\">in July 2017, the Israeli government called Soros a threat to its country<\/a>, denouncing that the billionaire <strong><em>\"continuously undermines Israel\u2019s democratically elected governments\"<\/em><\/strong> and that he finances organizations <em>\"that defame the Jewish state and seek to deny it the right to defend itself.\"<\/em> In December 2017, Israeli parliamentarian <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jns.org\/pm-pushes-bill-to-expose-donors-behind-nonprofit-organizations\/\">Miki Zohar of Likud (Netanyahu's party) proposed a law to block donations to Israeli NGOs by anti-Semitic and anti-Israel organizations, pointing directly to Soros.<\/a> In February 2018, Israeli Prime Minister <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/Israel-News\/Netanyahu-blames-Soros-for-Israel-anti-deportation-campaign-540640\">Benjamin Netanyahu accused Soros of being behind a campaign against the Israeli government for its decision to deport illegal African immigrants.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><big>The manipulations of the media related to Soros to present as anti-Semites those who criticize him<\/big><\/p>\n<p>In spite of it, <strong>some followers of Soros try to criminalize all criticism to the multimillionaire using all the Jewish people like a shield.<\/strong> It is true that there are anti-Semitic that attack Soros for being Jewish, but that does not mean that all those who criticize Soros do so for that reason, just as criticizing a Christian person does not automatically make you anti-Christian. Obviating the most elementary logic, in November 2018, the Spanish leftist newspaper <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2018\/11\/01\/el-pais-enloquece-acusa-a-trump-de-instigar-los-asesinatos-de-judios-por-criticar-a-soros\/\">El Pais accused Trump of instigating the murders of Jews with his criticism of Soros.<\/a> The accusation sounds like a macabre joke, if we consider that newspaper is one of the Spanish media that show the most hostility against the State of Israel. Yesterday, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JorgeBustos1\/status\/1092098808778014720\">the head of opinion of the Spanish newspaper El Mundo described criticism of Soros as <em>\"the last mutation of the old anti-Semitic virus,\"<\/em><\/a> together with an image of leaders of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voxespana.es\/vox-israel-y-oriente-medio\">a conservative party, Vox, that has openly supported the state of Israel.<\/a> Once again, the grossest lie and propaganda disguised as journalism. <strong>What will be next?
