ISRAEL HATE CAMPS EXPLODE-FUNDED BY SOROS
George Soros is paying agitators who are fueling the explosion of radical anti-Israel protests at colleges across the country.
George Soros and his hard-left acolytes are paying agitators who are fueling the explosion of radical anti-Israel protests at colleges across the country.
The protests, which began when students took over Columbia University’s Morningside Heights campus lawn last week, have mushroomed nationwide.
Copycat tent cities have been set up at colleges including Harvard, Yale, Berkeley in California, the Ohio State University and Emory in Georgia — all of them organized by branches of the Soros-funded Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) — and at some, students have clashed with police.
The SJP parent organization has been funded by a network of nonprofits ultimately funded by, among others, Soros, the billionaire left-wing investor.
At three colleges, the protests are being encouraged by paid radicals who are “fellows” of a Soros-funded group called the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR).
Video below explains funding in greater detail:
USCPR provides up to $7,800 for its community-based fellows and between $2,880 and $3,660 for its campus-based “fellows” in return for spending eight hours a week organizing “campaigns led by Palestinian organizations.”
They are trained to “rise up, to revolution.”
The radical group received at least $300,000 from Soros’ Open Society Foundations since 2017 and also took in $355,000 from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund since 2019.

The University of Texas-Austin is one of the campuses where anti-Israel protests have exploded this week, copycatting the takeover of Columbia University’s lawn.
It has three “fellows” who have been major figures in the nationwide protest movement.
Nidaa Lafi, a former president of the University of Texas Students for Justice in Palestine, was seen at an encampment at UT Dallas Wednesday making a speech demanding an end to the war in Gaza.
Lafi, a former legislative intern for the late Democratic Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson, graduated from the school last year with a degree in global business and is now a law student at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.

Nidaa Lafi returned to the University of Texas, Dallas, campus Wednesday to lead a “teach-in” at the Students for Justice in Palestine’s occupation of the college lawn. She is paid as a “fellow” by a group backed by George Soros.
In January, she was detained for blocking the route of President Biden’s motorcade after he arrived in Dallas for the funeral of Johnson, her former boss.
At Yale, USCPR’s fellow Craig Birckhead-Morton was arrested Monday and charged with first-degree trespassing when SJP’s branch, Yalies4Palestine, occupied the school’s Beinecke Plaza, the Yale Daily News reported.
Birckhead-Morton — also a former intern for a Democrat, Maryland rep John Sarbanes — emerged from custody to address a sit-in blocking traffic in New Haven.

The most high-profile of the fellows is Berkeley’s Malak Afaneh, co-president of the Berkeley Law Students for Justice in Palestine.
She has been a serial speaker at an anti-Israel protest on the campus this week — which came after she first shot to prominence by hijacking a dinner at the law school dean’s home to shout anti-Israel slogans, then accused the dean’s wife of assaulting her when she asked the radical to leave.

The cash from Soros and his acolytes has been critical to the Columbia protests that set off the national copycat demonstrations.
Three groups set up the tent city on Columbia’s lawn last Wednesday: Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) and Within Our Lifetime.
At the “Gaza Solidarity Encampment,” students sleep in tents apparently ordered from Amazon and enjoy delivery pizza, coffee from Dunkin’, free sandwiches worth $12.50 from Pret a Manger, organic tortilla chips and $10 rotisserie chickens.
An analysis by The Post shows that all three got cash from groups linked to Soros. The Rockefeller Brothers Fund also gave cash to JVP.
The fund is chaired by Joseph Pierson, and includes David Rockefeller Jr, a fourth-generation member of the oil dynasty, on its board of directors. The non-profit gives money to “sustainable development” and “peace-building.”
And a former Wall Street banker, Felice Gelman, a retired investment banker who has dedicated her Wall Street fortune to pro-Palestinian causes, funded all three groups.
Free sandwiches from upscale takeout joint Pret a Manger are on offer at the encampment, worth up to $12, and $10 rotisserie chickens. Cash for the encampment has come from billionaire investor George Soros.NYPJ
Both SJP and JVP were expelled from Columbia University in November for “threatening rhetoric and intimidation.” JVP blamed Israel for the Oct 7 Hamas terrorist attack that left 1,200 Israelis dead.
“Israeli apartheid and occupation — and United States complicity in that oppression — are the source of all this violence,” JVP said in a statement on its website.
SJP called the terrorist strike on Israel “a historic win.”
Also on offer for the thirsty anti-Israeli protesters camped out at Columbia is free coffee from Dunkin’. Behind the scenes, the groups organizing the encampment have received cash from Soros and another former Wall Street banker.NYPJ
An analysis by The Post shows how Soros and Gelman’s cash made its way to the students through a network of nonprofits that help obscure their contributions.
Soros has given billions to the Open Society Foundations which his son Alexander — whose partner is Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton’s top aide and the estranged wife of pervert Anthony Weiner — now controls.
In turn, Open Society has given more than $20 million to the Tides Foundation, a progressive nonprofit “fiscal sponsor” that then sends the cash to smaller groups.
George Soros, the billionaire investor, is the ultimate source of cash for JVP and SJP, two of the groups encamped on Columbia’s lawn. It comes via a series of intermediaries.Andrew Toth
Those groups include A Jewish Voice for Peace, which between 2017 and 2022 has received $650,000 from Soros’ Open Society. Its advisers include the academic Noam Chomsky and the left-wing feminist author Naomi Klein.
JVP has been a prominent part of the protests at Columbia and one of its student members was among a group expelled from the university for inviting the leader of a proscribed terrorist group, Khaled, to the “Resistance 101” Zoom meeting.
Soros has also donated $132,000 to WESPAC, called in full the Westchester People’s Action Coalition Foundation.
Soros’ Open Society Foundations is now controlled by his son Alexander. It has been the ultimate source of funds for all three groups that set up camp on the Columbia lawn.
The White Plains-based nonprofit was founded in 1974 to rally for civil rights and against the Vietnam War but is now a major funder of anti-Israel groups, including Within Our Lifetime and Students for Justice in Palestine.
SJP has also received funding from the Sparkplug Foundation, a New York-based nonprofit run by Gelman and her husband, Yoram Gelman.
The couple funneled their $20,000 donation to the group through WESPAC in 2022, according to public filings.

Gelman was previously on WESPAC’s committee for Justice and Peace in the Middle East in 2009 when she was invited to Gaza by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, according to the group’s website.
The UN group has been slammed for its support of Hamas.
Gelman is on the board of the Bard Lifetime Learning Institute, an offshoot of the infamously progressive college, as well as the Jenin Freedom Theatre, located in the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank.
David Rockefeller Jr., seen with daughter Ariana, is a fourth-generation scion of the Standard Oil fortune. He chaired the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, which champions progressive causes until 2022. It is now chaired by Joseph Pierson.Paul Bruinooge/PatrickMcMullan.

WESPAC president Howard Horowitz, a former Orthodox Jew, is a member of the New York chapter of JVP, which says it works for “advocacy and public education for Palestinian human rights.”
Horowitz said he embraced the Palestinian cause after time spent living in Israel, according to a report in the Israel Times.
WESPAC has also given money to Within Our Lifetime, founded by the ubiquitous anti-Israeli protester Nerdeen Kiswani.

Within our Lifetime uses a loophole in the law to avoid declaring how much it receives from donors by not being a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, meaning it is unknown how Kiswani has benefited.
However, WESPAC is named as a fiscal sponsor of Within Our Lifetime.
After The Post published our story, an Open Society Foundations spokesperson said: “For the record, Open Society Foundations has a long history of fighting antisemitism, islamophobia and all forms of racism and hate.
“Open Society has funded a broad spectrum of US groups that have advocated for the rights of Palestinians and Israelis and for peaceful resolution to the conflict in Israel and the OPT.
“This funding is a matter of public record, disclosed on our website, fully compliant with US laws, and is part of our commitment to continuing open debate that is ultimately the only hope for peace in the region.
“The Open Society Foundations proudly support the right of all citizens to peaceful protest — a bedrock principle of our democracy.”
None of the other groups responded to requests by The Post for comment.
BTW Tanna, note Gen. 17, which I quoted below:
https://biblehub.com/text/genesis/17-5.htm
When God said,
[4] As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.,
The word “nations” was goyim. This is not a declaration concerning religion; it is about sovereignty. As you said, there is only one supreme Lord; and He rules through His chosen ONE (u-le-zar-.a-ka, masculine SINGULAR), and as many as follow him.
Hi, Sebastien
Genuinely humorous, Sebastien. Your magnum opus is waiting in the wings I think you’ve ventured close to the root problem here, which is a very badly disguised chauvinism on everyone’s part. Obviously, I am hated here, because of my Galician descent 🙂
Yes, Tanna — we are all on a mission here, though some have long ago lost track of their commission papers. God said,
Father Abraham has many descendants, including the likes of Korah, Dathan and Abiram, who openly rebelled against the King of the Universe (Melech haOlam).. But of all these lines, He has chosen David, and the eternal house of David through Yeshua, my liege lord.
Correct Edgar, Mikey is probably on a mission. 🙂 Remember, there is only ONE, LORD! You may know him as Hashem or Adonai.
Tanna-
Thank you for your compliment.
However I differ with you as re Michael.
The only thing sharp about him is the end of his always twitching smeller.,
And his focus is only on selecting bad Jews and “exposing” them to rub our own noses in, as if we hadn’t already known about them, which we had.
On another plane we are all bad Jews to him for denying his and your “Lord”. I mean no disrespect to you Tanna, because I KNOW you respect us and our Torah belief,, but Michael………???….!!!
Perhaps he’s on a “mission”………..up the yellow-brick road…that leads nowhere….!!
I completely agree with you all as to how Israel has to argue from ever position and the point of law and they are not able to state a biblical position at the UN. However, I and I think Michael would agree Israel should on the world stage argue from a Tanach / Torah position. See a promise of inheritance is not much good if one does not reach out and act on the promise. Bear and Peloni are, I believe correct in their comments from their position and when the discussion is nuanced, I agree with your comments 100 %. But if one takes a higher position, the truth of the matter is that the land was promised to them by Hashem all the way back to Father Abraham. The UN and League of Nations are opposite sides of a bad penny.
If the Jews/Israel of Moses day down in Egypt had argued their point like the Jews/Israel does today on the world stage, then the Jews would still be in Egypt arguing with Pharoah and his UN court as to who the land belonged to and they want, would like to have their freedom. The ole proverb, God helps those who help themselves has a lot of truth in it. When the Jews/Israel got to the Reed sea, God did NOT part the water and dry the ground first. They had to step into the water FIRST and then God parted the sea.
As to playing the UN game and arguing Gentile law. NOT SO. Those don’t apply to Israel, unless they disrespect God and place themselves under that court. God told Israel to be separate from the nations and to dwell alone. Yes, it’s a tough Job, but Hashem choose a people that he knew could handle the task ahead.
Michael and my frustration comes from watching Israel and reading the play book – who keeps playing this game – and they keep fumbling the ball. Hashem never told Israel – as I remember – I bless you now go and do this – He said, DO this and I will bless you. Israel responded, we will do it and we will hear it.
Zechariah talks about Jerusalem being taken and 2 /3rds. of the population being destroyed and 1 /3 going into captivity. Historically this has happened in the destruction of both Temples. My fear is that they will keep – fumbling the ball- and it might/could happen again. The Nations are gathering around them, the noose is getting tighter. The world’s population is filling the streets showing us their unmitigated hatred of Israel. How long will they protest before the words turn to action? I hope and pray it does not. Ishmael is getting stronger and gaining allies from those not of the Ishmaelite’s.
As to Trumps hard to understand comments. IT’s time to turn the firehose on those idiots and wash them back to the sewer they crawled out of.
There are three things to keep in mind as we watch this play out. There are things we know, things we do not know and things we cannot know. The fourth proposition is that Hashem is in control and he’s waiting for his Son to man up(TORAH UP) and take him at his word.
Edgar, I’m glad to see your doing well and you still got it and slapping Michael around, that keeps him sharp and focused.
Mr. Zorn, this links for you!

@Peloni I said, “Though I didn’t mention that I was Jewish unless someone asked. I didn’t think it should matter, at that time. Moreover, I was brought up that way by both of my parents. Mostly, I had no idea about anybody’s ethnicity unless they volunteered it themselves for the first 40 years of my life. And I didn’t care. People are people, right?”
Hope this survives the word limit and doesn’t just vanish when I hit enter.
I once made a joke about it, all true, as it happens, like much of the best humor. I think I may have posted here years ago, not sure. I saved it in Google Drive, fortunately:
“used to play viola in a string quartet that backed up a famous Calabrian-Canadian singer a number of times throughout the tri-state area, on radio and possibly a recording — he always promoted and sometimes sold his family’s olive oil in his concerts. MIchael Castaldo.
He was so nationalistic as a Calabrian, know Calabrian history, listen to the Calabrian language, hear Calabrian songs, buy my family’s Calabrian olive oil, here are samples — and I had also played in a band for a Puerto Rican singer who was so nationalistic, he unfurled the Puerto Rican flag as a cape while he was singing at a park in Atlantic city, that I made a joke about it.
The quartet was all women except for me. The first violinist was American of Russian Jewish descent, the cellist was American of German Jewish descent and the 2nd violinist,sitting next to me, was Japanese, by way of background.
I am of LIthuainian Jewish descent on my mother’s side, which is a pretty obscure little country, but many LIthuainian Jews became famous in various fields, especially the ones who came here, if you google it, there are lists, even Elvis and Bob Dylan were of Lithuainian Jewish descent, and I said this to a cousin of my mother’s who responded, “so what, everybody’s from somewhere.”
But, wanting to get in on the flag-waving fun, I turned to the Japanese 2nd violinist and I said, “you know what binds Jews together as a people? The single most unifying principle?” “What,” she said. I replied, “It’s that we all desperately wanna be Asians.”
And — I kid you not, this really happened — a young guy from the Southern Jersey area where we were playing who just happened to be backstage for some reason in the resort or something where we were playing exclaimed, “I thought it was just me!
But, thank you for supporting Israel, just the same. I don’t care where people are from or what they believe so long as their guns are pointed in the right direction, so to speak.
But, that’s just me.”

@Peloni Thank you. Yes, it is. This is also the kind of thing I was discussing earlier when one of the examples I presented anecdotally was the time an old guy came up to me in a pastry shop where i was reading over a mug of coffee at the counter, assumed I was Jewish, and began haranguing me about Kastner’s supposed betrayal. By the way, when I was a Marxist* among Jewish as well as Arab Marxist “Pal” solidarity activists during the first intifida, Kastner was a big selling point. Anything to make Jews look bad especially to other Jews. Divide and conquer.
*Though I didn’t mention that I was Jewish unless someone asked. I didn’t think it should matter, at that time. Moreover, I was brought up that way by both of my parents. Mostly, I had no idea about anybody’s ethnicity unless they volunteered it themselves for the first 40 years of my life. And I didn’t care. People are people, right?

Well done.! Thank you for running this to ground. Isn’t it impressive how commonly our detractors must present perjories and half told truths to support their claims of the wickedness of the Jewish people.
@Michael
@Edgar
What insanity is it to suggest that by addressing your comment to “SOMEONE”, that it should be clear that it was intended to be only addressed to the proper SOMEONES. Quite a silly response, but I think Edgar demonstrated this well with his witty and well earned ridicule of your comment.
@Michael says, “Formerly” Orthodox. I found his autobiographical statement. That appellation was also misleading. He comes from a traditional leftwing family. Bundists and then Workers Circle.

Naturally-for one of your struggling mind.
MY explanations are needed for you to get your confused thoughts under some sort of control.
That you didn’t include me when asking for “guidance” shows how confused you really are since my explanations are the clearest most logical, and completely understood by everyone-except you.
You just don’t have the clarity of mind to see and accept this, poisoned by your antagonism towards me, to which I say…”Enjoy…”
Well as it is reputed to having been said in a madhouse by an inmate ” They’re all crazy here,….except of course -me”….
As Levinsky said at the Wedding “when supper was announced they all rushed to the table, pushing and shoving, behaving like a lot of pigs.. I was foist there and seen everything….”
Edgar,
It’s as I said: You’ve blown a fuse. When I said, “SOMEONE please explain this to me”, I thought it was manifest that I didn’t include you.
@Tanna All article 80 says is that all previous agreements of the League of Nations will be honored and the legal instruments that recognized Jewish national rights in Palestine also created all the Arab states. The exceptions referred to are about southwest Africa. Since the United States was a not a member of the League of Nations, it signed a separate treaty with Great Britain endorsing the Balfour Declaration and Jewish national rights. Never revoked. Still in force. Actual international law.
https://legal.un.org/repertory/art80/english/rep_orig_vol4_art80.pdf
“June 30, 1922, a joint resolution of both Houses of Congress of
the United States unanimously endorsed the Balfour
Declaration, confirming the irrevocable right of Jews to settle in
the area of Palestine – anywhere between the Jordan River and
the Mediterranean Sea.”
http://www.mythsandfacts.org/Conflict/mandate_for_palestine/Mandate-for-Palestine-ppt.pdf
@Tanna
The UN gave Israel nothing. Instead, they accepted a decision which was made two decades earlier by the League of Nations, and the relative import of this point is both quite relevant and immensely important because the League did not recognize the right of the Jews to the land, but rather they recognized the historical connection of the Jews to the land and their right to reconstitute the Jewish national homeland on those lands. Indeed, this wasn’t a point of fiat such as took place in carving out the nation of Czeckoslavakia, which had never previously been its own state. Contrasting with the creation of the Czeckoslavakia, the Jews were reclaiming their ancient realm, and this was granted by the Supreme Council with the same authority with which they created the nations of Romania, Hungary, Austria, Poland, Yugoslavia, the Baltic states, and the various Arab states.
So the UN did not give the Jews the land, and the truth is that they have done everything possible undermine the Jews’ control of the land and their security as they thrived in that land over the past nearly 80 years, of which you are of course well aware.
While I am not a religious man, I do hold a great respect for those who are, but Bear is quite correct in describing the need for defending the Jewish State on every plane possible, of which the only one which has any relevance to most people in the world is the legality upon which the Jews ownership of the land is incontestable.
But always remember, we were not given the land by anyone. Our right to reclaim the land as our own was what was recognized, and that recognition came from the same authors who created the modern boundaries (more or less) of Europe and Arabia. You will, I believe, agree that this is a powerfully important distinction to focus our arguments upon, as it is the only argument which our enemies must dispute, and for which they have no answer except to ignore them as they smirk at our religious beliefs which tie us to the land and promote false histories for the Pals.

MICHAEL-
Nobody need to explain anything to you, it has already been answered. “There are good and bad Jews” just as there are good and bad” in every nation.
You just enjoy digging up what you can use to portray Jews in a bad light. I’ve realised since reading Bear Klein’s undeniable truth post, that this seems to be your most major occupation, along with reams and reams of pseudo biblical (Christian) and Torah verse,.
You should go and sit on a mountain top and expect to be carried off (to Jesus) any day now. But I advise, take many provisions , water and a comfortable cushion.
If one Jew is bad, they’re all bad…according to you. Whereas if one Christian is bad, then one Christian is bad-only.
@Tanna religious beliefs can not be argued in court, for the most part. So legal references are needed for that. Actually UN Article 80 acknowledged the Jewish people rights to Israel it did not grant it.
The historical rights I referenced include the G-D given rights. You may object to anything outside of Torah but much of the world does not function that way. Since Israel functions in the rest world it needs to deal with the rest of the world at times in a common frame of reference to defend its rights to the land. This does not preclude anyone from believing that it was G-D who gave the rights to the Land of Israel to the Jewish people.
There is a secular world people and countries live in the real world and not just the religious/spiritual world. Countries must navigate the laws and mores of the secular world as imperfect as they maybe. Ignoring that for a country would be perilous.
Somebody here explain this to me:
We aren’t dealing here with a Soros, who seems to have had PTSD since his youth. We’re speaking about an Orthodox Jew from an Orthodox family. And what about those others, like Chuck Schumer, Schiff and Nadler, Garland, Blinken and Mayorkas, who go to shul one day and commit abominations the next? These are not benighted secularists. They are religious — like their Catholic counterpart Biden, who makes the sign of the cross and then lies.
These are not just “Jews”. They are leaders: people who are looked up to, people who are trusted.
Hi, Bear. You said,
Yeah, like blaming Christians for the Holocaust. I agree with you. No need to elaborate here.
Tanna, you said,
Yes, Tanna, you are spot-on. You might go on, to say that I’m sick and tired of people claiming to have the “mandate of heaven”, from one side of their mouth, and then denying God from the other. The world is in a state of confusion nowadays, and people genuinely are seeking wisdom. Where is a better place to seek it, than the purveyors of God’s word, both Jewish and Christian. The world is foolish and ignorant by nature, so God can justly forgive them; but who is going to forgive these people, who claim to be His spokesmen?
It is frustrating, and a very sad situation. Thank you for your understanding comment.
What I do not understand about people – who seem to minimize the promises of God to Israel as related in the Torah and believe that their rights to the land come from the UN and the goodwill of the Nations rather than from the creator himself.
If the UN gave you the land, then the UN will also be able to take the land away from you. POINT OF FACT NO DEBATE!
Here in I believe is the root of Michael’s frustration. The chosen people have a job to do and it looks like the beatings will continue until they do what their Heavenly Father requires of them. I was reading Micah, I suggest you might want to also.
@Sebastien
You are quite correct, and in particular you are correct about the Oligarchs of America. As was true with the oligarchs of Ukraine and the Oligarchs of Russia, the Oligarchs of America are pursuing their own interests which sharply contrast with the interests of the American people. While Russia came to an understanding between its Oligarchs and the govt, Ukraine never matured to such a point as this, and I would argue that the West’s proposed weakening of Ukraine’s govt during the Orange Revolution, which was adopted, was specifically intended to prevent Ukraine from restraining the ever increasing control of the oligarchs over its govt. Additionally, it would seem that the US too has no interest in restraining its oligarchs from controlling and corrupting the nation, as it is currently subjugating its people and literally rewriting election results without any opposition from anyone but Trump and the people, for the most part.
@Peloni
Yes, or conversely, only relatable to the Jews but used to provoke hatred against Jews and Israel. 2 examples from my experience.
One time, many years ago, I was minding my own business, reading and enjoying a mug of coffee at a pastry shop counter, and this old guy comes over and tries to get me to hate Israel by making accusations against Rudolf Kastner.
Another time, 2 or three years ago, a Muslim musician I know who talks like a Haaretz progressive about Israel but also had posted something admiring about women wearing chaddoors, made a big deal about the allegations that possibly 50 baby Mizrahi refugees died of experimental vitamin injections in the ’50s when Israel was flooded with Jewish refugees from the Arab world and getting no aid.
Of course, they loved to accuse Israel of being a Jewish Iran, taking a cue from Hillary Clinton because one Haredi neighborhood was allowed to have a gender segregated bus line in their neighborhood on a temporary trial basis.
The article includes Soros, but is by no means limited to him. These Soros’s (it’s his whole family as with the others) Rockefellers, Fords, etc, are America’s oligarchs, wreaking mayhem through these putative altruistic foundations and we should call them out as such.
Victims of these protests should be assisted in suing these foundations the way lawsuits have been filed and won against the PA and Iran. They should also sue the Biden Administration for violating the Taylor Force Act.
@Edgar to expand on what you wrote.
UN Article 80 in its Charter incorporates the Jewish People’s rights to the Land of Israel. As previously written by the League of Nations. This incorporated what occurred at San Remo.
So Israel has historical rights and legal rights to the Land of Israel (State of Israel plus Judea/Samaria).
Yes Felix I quite agree. Michael, as usual, is totally wrong. I have “blown” no fuse. Michael’s repetitive mention of “G-D’s Chosen People” is positively derisory.
And, in the past as today it raises antagonism amongst the Goyim , adding to the already negative outlook.
I know this for a fact as growing up I had many and many an argument about that very same phrase. The Goyim never got around to reasoning WHY we were “Chosen”; being “chosen” applied a burden to our shoulders to this very day, although our record shows that we did a good job-when allowed. I’m sure we’d rather now have had that burden.
As for the rest of your comment, I totally agree, presence and Sovereign Status, for some 4000 years indicate an indigenous people. And they have more right to the Land than anyone else.
Not to forget the San Remo Conference and its follow up declarations, which gave a modern endorsement to the ancient dictum..
Indeed, as we all know but neglect to mention, that the Land belongs to the Jewish People outright is part of the original UN Foundation Document, when they shouldered all the liabilities and commitments of the League of Nations.
The Balfour Declaration is prominently featured therein.
@Michael
So as you often do you provide a response without reading the content. It is an interesting though not a persuasive form of conversation you seem to prefer.
I am curious if you read the above article or did you assume what it said as well. Such shadow boxing is not a terribly useful form of argument as you have no idea what anyone is saying even as you have formed an opinion about the comments you never read.
@Michael there are bad and dumb Jews, bad and dumb Christians, etc. Lumping them all together is stupid and ignorant!
Hi, Bear
I confess that I haven’t gone into the details of Peloni’s diatribe. I’ve pretty much stopped listening to him. Generally, the more words he puts out, the more ridiculous he becomes.
The fact remains, that what’s happening among the Jews in the US is completely absurd. Of course, Soros is funding the pro-Hamas demonstrators. On top of this, the leaders of the anti-Israel organizers are largely Jewish. Add to this, Biden’s overwhelmingly Jewish-staffed administration, whose stupid policies in Israel and elsewhere, and the Jewish people have become a laughing stock. Peloni can attack me, as though I were the problem, as much as he wants. As I said, I no longer take him the least bit seriously.
It must be remembered that Soros has been active in many countries.
In Yugoslavia against the Serb people as nation
And many young Serb men were beheaded by Arab Jihadism who were flown in to Yugoslavia by Bush and Clinton to strike terror.
Michael that is confusing
Quote
“Concerning “God’s chosen people”, Edgar,, you’ve blown a fuse. If the Jews aren’t God’s chosen people, you have no claim to the land of Israel; and the scripture “He who blesses Israel, God will bless” has no meaning. You have no idea, how lulu you are. The joke isn’t on you; the joke IS you — leave the rest of the Jewish people out of this.”
Surely it is
1. Jews lived there is it some 4000 years ago
2. Accepted archaeology association
3. Jews return to develop the land
It is important to be clear against Arab Palestine lies
@Michael NONE of the Jews here including Peloni are praising Soros. We all think he is a high pile of manure. He left the Jewish people long ago and in mind clearly not remotely Jewish (nor in his mind) but an enemy of the Jewish people and other freedom loving people.
I will dismiss your remarks, Peloni, as more of the same from you. You’ve taken a break from extolling Putin, to praising Soros, and the court Jews in DC. Don’t bother me with this tripe.
Concerning “God’s chosen people”, Edgar,, you’ve blown a fuse. If the Jews aren’t God’s chosen people, you have no claim to the land of Israel; and the scripture “He who blesses Israel, God will bless” has no meaning. You have no idea, how lulu you are. The joke isn’t on you; the joke IS you — leave the rest of the Jewish people out of this.
@Edgar I remember reading “Good Soldier Schweik” as a boy, though I don’t remember anything about it.
@Michael
Actually, from my reading of world history, the world has consistently looked to persecute the Jews for matters which are entirely unrelated and unrelatable to the Jews. Trying to saddle the Jews with the evil which has defined Soros’ life is tellingly a good example of this fact. Indeed, As Soros works his evil around the world, crushing economies and felling govts, he is not acting as a Jew, nor is he acting on behalf of the Jews. Revealingly, the complete opposite of these are actually the truth. Yet, the world looks to Soros and leverages the evil he does against the Jews, when in fact the Jews are themselves among Soros’ most openly targeted enemies. His attempts to deligitimize and destroy the Jewish State has been a central kernal to his efforts, and he openly boasts of these facts. Despite all of this, Soros is falsely described as a Jew, representative of the Jewish people, when the truth is that he has been the bane of our people as well as of the Jewish state. He is no more representative of the Jewish people than is Joe Biden representative of Catholics, or of Marylanders, or of people owning agressive dogs. Rather, both of these men are paragons of evil, who carry with them cyclones of tragedy which are irrelevant to their respective heritages or to a respective religion which neither of them actually support.
Additionally, the Jews owe no one a debt of salvation or solution to the ills which plague the world, and are themselves simply looking for the means by which to not revisit one more rehearsal of the many slaughters which have plagued our people throughout our history. So, instead of “looking to the Jews, to set things straight”, I suggest the world should refocus its attention on pursuing justice and providing equitable opportunities rather than perverting justice and mandating equitable outcomes. Should the world return to such principles as these which made a civilization out of the lands of brigands, much of the chaos and tragedies which are today persecuting us all will cease to be a threat, and quite notably, this is not something which the Jews are likely capable of doing for the world.

Your nasty little spit(e)-ball beginning “This is Israel’s finest hour”…. is not appreciated by anyone on this site-I’m pretty sure. It causes me to feel that Bear Klein is correct about you, when all the time, until recently I felt you were pro Israel and Jews.
You just use this site to deliver your versions of “Paul to the Galatians (whoever they were). Maybe they meant galoshes, just as meaningful.
No matter it’s a forgery anyway.
Michael-
I don’t have buttons and don’t know what you mean. I have a zipper like nearly everyone; maybe you have buttons, you certainly have no sense of humour, never had.
“The Good Soldier Schweik” by Jaroslav Hasek is a classic of humour and by a most famous writer. There was even a half-witted Jew in it, which will appeal to you. Hasek also, like you, moved to and from many ideologies and was as crazy as a loon.
Also his father was a religious fanatic. Who does that remind me of ,,….now/?/ ???
Poor guy, died very young.
John List is another example of a supposedly “devout Lutheran” who murdered his wife, children and elderly mother, and left a letter addressed to his (Lutheran) pastor justifying his actions. He was then on the led a “new life” for 18 years before he was finally caught.
I agree with Bear Klein. It is a major problem for Jews that people can latch onto the cas eof a particular Jewqho has done despicable things (Sooros, Epstein, Bernie Madoff, Weinstein etc,) and falsely claim that their unethical deeds are characteristic of Jews in general. I don’t know how to deal with this problem. Many people have legitimate grievances against Soros, for example, But he is by nomeans a typical Jew.
When people of other faiths and backgrounds do despicable things, few people assume that their behavior is typical of their coreligionists or co=ethnics. For example, a number of truly despicable criminals in recent years havebeenLutherans. That includes theBTKkillerand a “firebog” from Seattle, who started many fires in Seattle that cost many innocent lives. He was brought up as a Lutheran and he hated the :Lutheran chuch, since he associated it with his father. Several Lutheran churches and schools were among his targets. And these were only two of the Litherans who have committed despicable crimes over the past several years. But no one has concluded from this that Lutherans are inherantly bad people, or claimed that these criminals were typical of Lutherans in general.
Are you all saying you believe Soros, the Ford Foundation the Rockefeller Foundation, etc. can’t be stopped short of divine intervention? I asked for constructive proposals and this is all you got? C’mon. Be a Smotrich not an ostrich.
Soros, started worked with a high ranking NAZI when he was about 14. He a great gift for numbers and this helped Soros survive the war. So he was working against the Jewish people when was quite young. He has continued to work against Israel and Zionists to this day. So he was born Jewish but is not Jewish in practice or spirit. In fact he is a traitor to the Jewish people.
He is a convenient target for Jew haters to attack. They attack this despicable man as a Jew some how thinking it makes it okay to express Jew hatred and act on it.
@Michael of the years you have convinced by your repeated comments in different ways you truly do resent and hate Jews.
Edgar, one never knows when he’s pushing one of your buttons:
😀 LOL
I apologize to Sebastien, for talking seriously on this matter. For one thing, the almost universal trait of insane people, is that they have no sense of humor; and secondly, there IS no “secondly”. At any rate, I notice that the latest on-demand rendition of “Catturd” covers everything talked about here:

MICHAEL-
According to your views the best person to go after Soros is “The Good Soldier Schweik”.
MICHAEL
“G-D’s Chosen People” is a term which evokes Jew Hatred.
Bachur, means “a young man”. but the whole term implies that G-d merely chose Israel to impart his Laws and social mores to the Goyim, with no special emphasis on YOUR interpretation of the term.
So please changeyour emphasis and cleanse your mind of its present accumulation of incorrect interpretations.
SHMUEL-
I’m surprised at you. WE all know who and what SOROS is and was, No need to tell US. The Internet has much more about him but what you’ve posted is enough for any Jew who doesn’t know. nd they are sure to be very few.
Send an article to thr Washington Post or a top EU news outlet. THEY need to know.
People must be informed who really is “Soros”.
He was born to a Jewish couple, who became hard anti Jewish. During WWII the future “Soros” was part of Nazis Officers patrols searching for deported Jewish people properties…
Aren’t there laws? Laws from WHERE? The law of God? It’s obviously not highly regarded. The laws of the UN? Hah! The laws of the US? Show me the lawmakers! Show me their wise advisors, their professors, their lawyers. What are their high moral standards, that can overthorw the wickedness and corruption in the…
BANKING SYSTEM???
Where does the banking system get its money, to keep its ways well-greased? The Federal Reserve (i.e. the most powerful bankers) put a word in the ear of the Secretary of the Treasury, who contacts the lobbyists to advise the Senate and house to give it blank checks of $1,000,000,000,000 apiece, fully funded by the taxpayers.
This is Israel’s finest hour! All those powerful people — the bankers, the Fed, the Treasury, the Lobbyists, the Congress — all of them are liberally enriched with Torah wisdom from God’s chosen people.
Who’s their champion? Alan Derschiewicz?
Sebastien,
As far as being able to get what he wants, I think George Soros is the most successful Jew in the world. He’s also one of the most successful influencer in the world. Who, do you suggest, should be tasked with going after him? Steve Mnuchen? Janet Yellen? Merrick Garland? Chuck Schumer? Adam Schiff? Andrew Weissman?
Are you the one? Will you convince this “old boy network”, that hey need to give their lives to God’s service, and practice Torah? Are you the best candidate? Weher can we find someone with your high moral standards, but with clout matching the above? Maybe you can enlist Reichskansellor Obama or Chairman Powell to help you?
The world is looking to the Jews, to set these things straight. If the most powerful Jews in the world can’t even stand up for their own country, who can help the rest of us? Klaus Schwab?
What can be done about these individual bankers, as well as organizations? Aren’t there laws they can be charged with violating or laws that could be passed, laws that entail prison time and freezing of assets, and it goes without saying, revocation of non-profit tax exemption. Can they be sanctioned? Can Israel sanction anybody? Can the people getting hurt and killed as a result of their nefarious activities sue them directly?
