Conservatives launch 'Jews Against Soros' to repudiate the notion that opposing the leftist megadonor is anti-Semitic

Newsweek senior editor-at-large Josh Hammer and Missouri attorney general candidate Will Scharf have launched Jews Against Soros in a bid to push back against the false narrative that opposing wealthy left-wing megadonor George Soros amounts to anti-Semitism.

"We are Jews who have had enough of George Soros and his malign, leftist influence on American politics. We are Jews who are also sick and tired of the left accusing anyone who criticizes Soros of being antisemitic," jewsagainstsoros.com declares. "There is nothing antisemitic about condemning George Soros. There is nothing antisemitic about identifying the many ways that George Soros and his network of organizations fund the radical left. Leftism isn't Judaism, and being anti-leftist is not the same as being Antisemitic. Period. It's time for Jews all over America to stand up against George Soros."

A message atop the webpage proclaims, "IT'S NOT ANTISEMITIC ... HE'S JUST THE WORST."

Soros, who is known for shelling out beaucoup bucks to advance a leftist agenda, is the founder of the Open Societies Foundation.

"Born in Hungary in 1930, he lived through the Nazi occupation of 1944–1945, which resulted in the murder of over 500,000 Hungarian Jews," the foundation's website states. "His own Jewish family survived by securing false identity papers, concealing their backgrounds, and helping others do the same."

Elon Musk has said that Soros reminds him of the comic book character Magneto, claiming that "Soros hates humanity" and "wants to erode the very fabric of civilization."

"Attacking Soros for his influence on American politics, to say nothing of his nefarious agenda in Israel itself, isn't antisemitic. It is simply a fact that Soros funds a huge proportion of the radical left in this country. And he must be stopped," a press release about Jews Against Soros states.
