In rare Jewish appearance, Soros says Jews and Israel cause anti-Semitism (Bush policies too!)

Rush is right. Democrats really do go nuts when they are out of power.

We have seen the enemy and it is us.

Self-hating Jews at their best.

“George Soros does not think Jews should be hated any more than they deserve to be,” Steinhardt said by way of clarification, eliciting chuckles from the audience. It seems to be the world's opinion that Jews should be hated only if they're alive.

The billionaire financier said he, too, bears some responsibility for the new anti-Semitism, citing last month’s speech by Malaysia’s outgoing prime minister, Mahathir Mohammad, who said, “Jews rule the world by proxy.”

The irony -- if that's a sufficient word for it -- is that in previous speeches Mahathir has specifically attacked Soros.

“George Soros does not think Jews should be hated any more than they deserve to be”...

Another liberal self-hating Jew. Who wrote his speech, Chomsky? No mention of the anti-Israeli policies or statements coming out of the U.N., Amnesty International, etc.

Iran's Rafsanjani says Iran will/should nuke Israel as soon as they've got one, I guess that's Israel's fault as well.

Soros is a brilliant hedge fund manager. I look up to him greatly in that regard.

But he's an idiot when it comes to politics. Totally off his rocker at times.

George, do yourself a favor and stick to the markets. You're embarrassing yourself.

Soros sounds deranged. So when is he going to forfeit his own ill-gotten gains?

Did you get your paycheck this week?

More revalations...women cause rape and banks cause bank robberies.

Associates said Soros? appearance Wednesday was the first they could ever recall in which the billionaire, a Hungarian-born U.S. Jew who escaped the Holocaust by fleeing to London as a child, had spoken in front of a Jewish group or attended a Jewish function.

Painfully sad, this. Soros still flees the Holocaust by trying to escape his Jewishness. He has internalized the hatred of an entire era and directed it against himself.

Iran's Rafsanjani says Iran will/should nuke Israel as soon as they've got one, ...

Not to worry, should this come to pass Rafsanjani and Iran will learn the meaning of the word Jericho when spoken as an order to the IAF and IDF.

[Akira]

I hope so.

[q_an_a]

"his associates say it is the first time they can remember him speaking before a Jewish group."

Do you suppose that includes his temple? does he go to temple? is he just another secular person claiming to have religon because he was born that way and it is on his ID?

What people with no faith dislike in President Bush is taht he is a man not ashamed or afraid to admit that he responds to something greater than himself.

If Soros were in Europe in 1944 he would have had his great fortune confiscated and been put in a death camp with his family and everyone Jewish that he knew. Would he have blamed the policies of the US and Britain? Or perhaps Zionism would be to blame?

That plan envisions two states along pre-1967 borders and a shared Jerusalem,

I have a better plan; It's called the, "Scrap the Sykes-Picot Agreement along with the League of Nations 1922 Mandate and Give the Jews the Levant Plan". It might create a lot of Lebanese and Syrian Israelis, but it would give the US a safe border with Iraq.

Until I read this article, I never knew Soros was Jewish.

Till now, I have taken offense at his support and advocacy of globalistic trends. His "World Heritage Sites" and the advancement of the Kyoto Protocol are among his favourite causes.

He's a brilliant hedge fund manager with a view from the top. Less power to him, I say.

George, do yourself a favor and stick to the markets. You're embarrassing yourself.

George, I will go further, give up your hedge fund, throw your money in the sea, and take your place among those who believe evil in the world will go away when wealth and the wealthy are gone. What a fool. I would pull my money from his fund now.

[Honestfreedom]

Soros can convert. We wil not miss him.
