The Jewish Philanthropist Still Gives Billions to Anti-Israel Causes

ICBPS– “Iran’s regime has been working closely with the Open Society Foundation (OSF), founded by American billionaire George Soros, said Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif at the addressing question-and-answer session in Iran’s parliament, reported by BBC Persian.

“Iran’s regime collaboration with the OSF predated my tenure, meaning it has been going on for at least five years,” Zarif stated. Zarif made the remarks in response to questions raised in the Iranian parliament. “The activity began before I entered my current position, I boasted that and succeeded in keeping the activity limited and organized,” Zarif continued.

According to NGO Monitor, among the top beneficiaries of OSF funding is Human Rights Watch, which has been criticized for targeting, and falsely libeling, the state of Israel. Another recipient of OSF funding is the Institute for Middle East Understanding, which, NGO-Monitor reports, is headed by staff who have accused Israel of war crimes and have termed Israel an “apartheid state.”

The extreme-left Israeli group B’Tselem also receives OSF funds. B’Tselem is notorious for publishing one-sided reports, and for inflating Arab civilian casualty figures. B’Tselem has listed OSF as a source of support, but OSF has not listed B’Tselem as a recipient, indicating that the grant may have come through an overseas entity. A leaked OSF document shows that OSF’s strategy concerning Israel is to “focus on raising the cost of the occupation and ending it on the one hand, and on human rights advocacy and protection on the other.”

Currently, the Soros Foundation has active representatives in more than 30 countries, including Azerbaijan, Armenia, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, Tajikistan, Russia, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and Moldova.

For the first time in 1997, during the financial and economic bankruptcy of South-East Asia countries, the Foundation’s activities were extended to Central Asia and established agencies in the states of this region called “Open Society.” The velvet revolutions and regime change in these countries are the main goals of this Foundation. A typical scenario, but under different names such as the Orange Revolution, the Rose, the Georgian Rose, or the Velvet Revolution just with little changes in details and actors. Serbia (2000), Georgia (2003), Ukraine (2004).

George Soros, Islamic Republic’s Reformists, Mohammad Khatami and His Brainchild Hassan Rouhani 

In a lengthy 2008 report published by the official Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), it was reported that president Khatami participated in the meeting because they wanted to “transform Khatami into an Islamic version of Mikhail Gorbachev” and he was the executor of the plot to “replace the religious rule with secularism.” In 2009, Kayhan newspaper in Iran claimed that Khatami was invited to attend the meeting with George Soros in 2006 again.

In the 2009 Iran poll protests trials, Kian Tajbakhsh explained his cooperation with the Open Society Foundations to foment a velvet revolution in Iran. Tajbakhsh told the court that Khatami had met Soros in New York City, where Mohammad Javad Zarif, Iran’s current foreign minister was also present. Later, Kayhan reported that they met twice: first time in the Trump International Hotel, New York on September 14, 2006, and the second time at the 38th session of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland on January 2007.
