Following the horrific Hamas attacks against Israeli civilians last week, Newsbusters’ Joseph Vazquez did some sleuthing and uncovered that George Soros once demanded that Israel and the U.S. open its door to Hamas, an organization that included Jewish genocide in its founding charter.
The article was published on March 19, 2007, and was titled “America and Israel Must Open the Door to Hamas.”
Vazquez: Soros leveled outrageous accusations against former President George W. Bush’s administration for “supporting the Israeli government in its refusal to recognise a Palestinian unity government that includes Hamas.” In Soros’s insane worldview, Israel not kowtowing to a murderous terrorist group precluded “any progress towards a peace settlement at a time when such progress could help avert conflagration in the greater Middle East.”
Soros’s outlandish piece was published in the midst of the bloody 2006-2007 Fatah-Hamas conflict. The ensuing carnage of the Battle of Gaza in June 2007 would result in a complete Hamas takeover of the Gaza Strip and the dissolution of the unity government by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas
Soros also praises Saudi Arabia for meeting with Hamas leadership in the article, and tries to downplay Hamas terrorists as merely being a faction of the party, assuring the reader that “Hamas is not monolithic,” and has a political wing that is “more responsive to the needs of its population” in addition to its military wing that carries out acts of terror.
Soros has long sided with Israel’s enemies. As I wrote in my book The Man Behind the Curtain:
Of the state of Israel, Soros has said “I don’t deny Jews their right to a national existence, but I don’t want to be part of it.” Soros has characterized the founding of Israel as a pathological reaction of Jews “obsessed with emulating their Nazi oppressors” in a “process of victims turning persecutors.”
Soros has blamed anti-Semitism on Israel, stating in 2003 that “There is a resurgence is anti-Semitism in Europe. The policies of the Bush administration and the Sharon administration contribute to that…It’s not specifically anti-Semitism, but it does manifest itself as anti-Semitism as well. I’m critical of those policies…If we change that direction, then anti-Semitism will also diminish.” Ariel Sharon was Israel’s prime minister from 2001 to 2006 and he belonged to the right-wing Zionist party Likud.
Soros criticized the U.S. in 2007 [in a different article than the one Vazquez found] for refusing to recognize the “democratically elected” terrorist Hamas government, or support Hamas in a future unity government with the West Bank. He’s also complained about the influence groups like AIPAC have on U.S. foreign policy, pretending to care about Israel when making the case against them, claiming that “far from guaranteeing Israel’s existence, AIPAC has endangered it.”
Archaeologist and historian Alexander H. Joffe compiled a comprehensive overview of Soros’ sphere of influence in the Middle East… The web of NGOs that Soros funds in the Middle East support an anti-Israel strategy that focus on three categories of strategies; 1) delegitimizing Israel as an apartheid state, 2) funding organizations aimed at weakening U.S. support for Israel, and 3) funding fringe Israeli organizations to make it appear as if their radical views are held by Israelis themselves.
Media organizations linked to George Soro have long claimed that any criticism of Soros is anti-semitic, which actually makes perfect sense. As the far-left radical Saul Alinsky wisely advised his followers: “Accuse your opponent of what you are doing, to create confusion and to inculcate voters against evidence of your own guilt.”
