Glenn Greenwald calls out libs' 'disgusting attempt to exploit anti-Semitism' over Trump indictment

One of the most important lessons we’ve learned while watching the Trump indictment drama unfold is that if you happen to point out that the DA heading it up, Alvin Bragg, can thank funding from George Soros for his position, you’re an antisemite. That’s the only possible reason you’d ever bring up George Soros. You hate Jews. Sure, he’s a left-wing billionaire who’s put his money behind some horrible causes and people, but don’t you dare bring any of that up unless you want to be accused of antisemitism.

Not antisemitic: George Soros gave one million dollars to a group that gave half of that money to help elect Alvin Bragg.

Antisemitic: George Soros, a Jew, gave one million dollars to a group that gave half that money to help elect Alvin Bragg.

We can ignore for these purposes the fact Soros is not a practicing Jew and he pretty much opposes the existence of the Jewish State of Israel.

Indeed. This is no sinister, secret plot (another thing antisemitic Europeans like to associate with Jews). Soros is quite up-front about what he does and why. https://t.co/gnb69wNIB1

He once went after Kevin McCarthy for some NRCC thing that ripped Dems for taking money from Soros, Bloomberg, and Steyer as antisemitic.

Way too many people have unfortunately been going off the rails over this for a while now, and it seems to have reached a fever pitch in the past month or so. And the really obnoxious part about it is that a lot of the people who are screeching about how it’s antisemitic to even mention George Soros’ name are either silent on or will outright defend blatant left-wing antisemitism.

Glenn Greenwald — who it should be noted is no right-wing Zionist cheerleader — can’t help but be struck by it all, and he put together a thread to discuss it. We’ve included the relevant parts of it below.

I'm becoming quite irritated with commentators who I will leave unnamed for the moment who continue to exploit anti-semitism accusations like a personal toy to place off limits discussions of George Soros' ample donations, especially given how often they said things like this: pic.twitter.com/vDRcFwXVcm

That’s some pretty harsh rhetoric about a wealthy Jewish man. Except, unlike as is the case with lefties crying foul over bringing up Soros with regard to Bragg, the antisemitic nature of that headline is pretty explicit. “Israeli Apartheid” is a favorite term of left-wing antisemites like Ilhan “All About the Benjamins” Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and IfNotNow.

It is 100% legitimate to discuss and criticize anyone using huge sums to influence politics:the NRA, Planned Parenthood, @HRC, AIPAC and Soros.

But if you're someone who depicted the GOP as Adelson's puppet for Israel, you have no credibility to play with anti-Semitism this way.

The reason liberals are manipulating anti-Semitism accusations to ban discussions of how Soros' money was used to elect Alvin Bragg is because this is the worst, most embarrassing case for prosecuting Trump: a liberal prosecutor in Manhattan doing it over an old, trivial case.

I am 100% opposed to the idea that former presidents or high officials should be immunized from prosecution. I wrote a 2011 book that had no point other than to condemn this media-supported 2-tiered justice system. But this is the worst case to use for ithttps://t.co/i8sWzVCWQ7

We devoted our entire @SystemUpdate_ program last night to the intricacies and implications of this indictment of Trump. Included is the disgusting attempt to exploit anti-Semitism accusations to ban discussions of Soros. Selected excerpts in this thread:https://t.co/5hfob8m3YZ

(Note: Like most people, we had to put together last night's show quickly and I spoke 2 factual inaccuracies we are correcting here and will correct at the top of tonight's show: 1) the Stormy Daniels case wasn't widely known in 2016 and 2) Adelson never had Israeli citizenship)

But the key point here is not so much that a Soros-funded liberal Manhattan prosecutor indicted a former President: he indicted the current GOP presidential frontrunner for 2024. (Soros donated $1m to Color of Change PAC 6 days after it endorsed Bragg):https://t.co/ByWyLRTY4M

Soros’ donations are absolutely relevant here; his being a Jew has absolutely nothing to do with any of it.

I've heard some pretty negative things Soros has said about what he wants to do to the USA lately. Guess he doesn't need to write a manifesto, as he has already announced it.

Shulamit Aloni said it’s the oldest trick in the book.

It’s akin to playing the race card though there are clearly multiple examples and acts of despicable anti-Semitism every year.

It is definitely not anti-Semitic to point out that no immigrant to the United States has ever done more harm to the American people and the American nation than George Soros. The man is being judged by his actions.

I doubt that is what is on people's minds when they think of Soros. If they do, it's way down on the list buried in the fine print.

Soros is an evil anti-democracy oligarch who has destroyed countries though unethical currency and precious metal manipulations in order to inflate his personal portfolio. Pure evil.

What’s it matter?

The Communist left already has labeled anyone how opposes them, deplorables, racist, homophobes, Nazis, and now were anti-Semites!

Yipppeee!

Ate people who criticize Andrew Tate Islamaphobic?

Soros has destroyed what countries? BTW, do you know of any sites that list all the heinous things Soros has done and said, cuz I keep learning more things he’s done? Only problem is nowadays that site would be designated anti-Semitic by Demonicrats.
