Jewish Funds for Justice (JFSJ), a charity that campaigns for social change, delivered a petition with 10,000 signatures to Fox News Thursday demanding that talk show host Glenn Beck get the pink slip. The petition drive began in November after Fox News aired a three-part Beck special on businessman and philanthropist George Soros called "Puppet Master." The television show was deemed anti-Semitic by many in the media and Jewish groups. Beck once said that his election coverage goal was to "make George Soros cry," which is "hard to do," as Soros "saw people into gas chambers."

Count me in as one of the gazillion.
The group is called JWTGSIABA..."Jews Who Think George Soros Is A Big Assh*le."
LOL!!!
IMHO, Soros is not Jewish, having forfeited his birthright by willfully joining a Nazi youth group in his native Hungary and engaged in aiding and abetting the deportation of Hungarian Jews to Nazi death camps.
It's only one far left "Jewish" group - a group which Soros funds - that is claiming that Beck is antisemitic, merely on the basis of Beck's criticism of Soros and several other Jews, past and present. Not even some others among usual players on the Jewish left - like J Street, the B'nai B'rith ADL, and the National Democratic Jewish Council - have gotten into the act, at least not yet.
Seems as if there's a fixation on the Jewish Left with hurling reckless and groundless charges of antisemitism against "right wing" politicians and pundits (e.g., Sarah Palin a few days ago). But they are a lot more circumspect about making similar charges against their friends on the Left, even in the face of much more credible evidence pointing in the left's direction.
I don't necessarily agree with Beck's selections of those particular nine individuals (eight of whom "Media Matters" claims are Jewish) who most contributed to "the big lie", but there is no evidence that Beck selected any of them on the basis of their ethnicity.
It’s hard to believe that a group of Jewish people would take offense to Beck speaking the truth about Soros (Schwartz). After all, the man DID aid the Nazis as they looted Jews circa 1940.
History has a way of repeating itself, if others don’t learn from past events. It seems that these 10,000 Jews (if they are, in fact, Jews) don’t want people to learn from the past. They don’t want people to know Soros’ past. They don’t want to know what’s being done ‘behind the scenes’ to destroy this country. They don’t want to know, because they want it to happen.
“...merely on the basis of Beck’s criticism of Soros and several other Jews, past and present.”
So if you criticize Israel, you’re not anti-Semitic, but if you criticize anyone left wing and Jewish, you are?! Help! Help! I’m drowning in meshugas! I used a Yiddish word, does that make me anti-Semitic? Vos vi a shanda far di goyim.
Thank you once again for your response that highlights the tyranny Soros is involved in. Liberal Jews or Kapos as I would call them, give the rest of us a bad name as they intend.
Great info - thanks.

Ah, NO.
You’ve been officially accepted - membership card in the mail...
Not sure I do either, looking back at the 20th century, it's an odd list.
Thanks - that says it all!

Catholics also have a few leftie groupies funded by Soros - we call them Astro-turf CINO’s - they do a lot of damage to those who aren’t too up on things.
A good article by Cliff Kincaid -

Agree
How many of these phonies do you think there are out there? They are the biggest annoyance. How could they not know that big governments don't like the competition of religious organizations? They are so illogical it gives me a headache. I'm so sick of trying to explain, I'm ready to bang my head to get rid of the pain.
In some liberal jewish circles opposition to socialism is deemed anti semitic because the claim is made many of the early leaders were jewish and thus we hate socialism not because it sucks and is stupid. Oh no, we oppose it because supposedly it was invented by jews. The pity is there are a lot of lefty jews that believe that.
I think he was being a little sarcastic. :) I’ll look for the transcript a little later...
This organization is not religious. This is leftist Jews. Maybe a few reform rabbis I suppose. But this is a social justice organization composed of Jews who advocate for social justice (leftist terminology)
Jewish Funds for Justice (JFSJ) is a national public foundation guided by Jewish history and tradition. We believe Jews have a responsibility to stand with all communities to live secure, fulfilling lives. We believe our most compelling texts, and our proudest moments, are those that reflect our community’s mandate to perfect the world.
For a quarter of a century, we have worked across race and faith lines to ensure that economic opportunity and security are broadly shared across the United States. We create economic opportunity to live up to our values and provoke the United States to live out its values. We do this by investing in low-income communities and grassroots organizations, and by engaging Jews as partners, allies, and leaders in social change work. Our strategic approaches are rooted in Jewish values. They include grantmaking and community investing, leadership development and service learning, organizing and advocacy.
We are recognized each year as one of the nation’s 50 most effective Jewish nonprofits. Slingshot’s resource guide for Jewish innovation describes Jewish Funds for Justice as the “premier, progressive Jewish organization in the country.”
We are proud to be a part of the Jewish community’s long tradition of justice work.
This does not come as a surprise as there seem to be way too many Jews who favor the socialists-liberal agenda the same mind set what caused them to end up in concentration camps and get gassed in the first place. For some reason many people just never learn and by the way I do like Jews as well as their history.
