Ben Mathis-Lilley of Slate.com accused Breitbart News of anti-Semitism Monday after Jewish Jerusalem bureau chief Aaron Klein reported that National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster had worked with a George Soros-linked, U.K.-based think tank that supported the Iran nuclear deal.
Mathis-Lilley speculated that “it makes sense that Breitbart … would think that the worst thing it could possibly reveal about H.R. McMaster is that he has a thirdhand connection to a Jewish guy.”
Klein had reported that McMaster had been involved with the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS). His investigation turned up the fact that IISS received funding from the Soros-backed Ploughshares Fund, though it had not listed Ploughshares on its website.
Soros is a well-known and controversial left-wing billionaire who spends his fortune to influence politics in a variety of countries, including the United States.
The idea that any criticism of Soros could be presumed to be antisemitic is absurd. Ben Mathis-Lillet makes his claims against Breitbart by citing innuendo about the “alt-right.”
Slate’s attempt to protect McMaster using empty accusations of antisemitism is a sign of desperation — and is, of course, ridiculous.

The idea that any criticism of Soros could be presumed to be antisemitic is absurd.
Yes, beyond absurd, considering that Soros himself is vehemently anti-Israel / anti-Jewish and that Breitbart News is among the most pro-Israel news sources out there.
The propaganda arm of the Democrat party (aka, mainstream media) is doing their utmost to bury the fact that the vast majority of anti-Jewish sentiment resides on the far-Left side of the political spectrum, and to project their own barely-concealed attitudes onto conservatives. Not working.
Why isn’t there some price to pay when the lefties pull stuff like this?
When the hypocrisy is pointed out isn’t just: “Never mind.” Down the memory hole. On to the next lie.
Read this series of tweets and stop this blubbering!!

Gotta say this Mcmaster V Bannon feud is really getting nasty.
Still nothing on Drudge as allegedly requested by WH Snr Advisor.
Your propaganda efforts in support of the globalist stooge McMaster are getting desperate and pathetic.
Regarding the allegations that LTG McMaster “worked for” the IISS, as a serving US Army officer, he was there as a McMaster has also served as a “senior consulting fellow” at the International Institute of Strategic Studies in London from mid-2006 though sometime in 2007.
I don’t know if that was before or after Soros began funding of IISS.
And then of course there is McMaster’s memo granting Rice further access to any previously seen classified material BUT waiving the need-to-know requirement on such documents.
Every day McIslamIsMyMaster remains at NSC with his CAIR staff, the more the nation (and the president) is in danger
Right. Aaron Klein is an Orthodox Jew. I listen to him every Sunday on the radio. He is doing the investigative reporting that the rest of the castrated media shrink from doing. Anti-Jew? I can’t think of anyone more undeserving of that slur.
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Doubt Aaron Klein has been called an antisemite publicly before. Lots of other things, though.
