Of course not all criticism of Soros is anti-semitic.
This article is a nice summation of tropes in regards to Jewish people…
Where folks tend to get into darker territory is when it comes to the dual loyalty trope, the blood libel, the clannishness charge, the global conspiracy motif and the control-the-media mantras.
Attacking Soros should be like attacking anyone else, less to do with who he is and more to do with what he does.
Failing that, do not revert to tropes and conspiracy theories about him “not being Jewish enough”, or “being a Nazi enabler”. Don’t talk about him controlling the courts or planting DA’s to further his aims, that is tantamount to the global conspiracy trope.
As the author of the article stated so nicely…
But back to the original question: How do you keep from inadvertently saying something offensive?
Ask yourself: What are the worst things said about any one ethnic group or minority? Not sure? Ask them. And do this: If they say something offends them, believe them. Don’t explain the many ways they shouldn’t take offense or that they are being oversensitive.
We’re in agreement on these points, but there’s a tendency for the left to equip Soros with Teflon armor in the same manner that the right applies to Trump. It’s also difficult to take any charges of anti-Semitism seriously after the DNC allowed Linda Sarsour to host a panel at their convention.
he claimed specifically that he donated to AGs. without proof. He also slipped in a “verboten” just to remind us all of the german origin of these stereo types.
Once again don’t project your shortcomings on someone else. I know what I’m talking about, unfortunately you don’t. Like I said, read your Word…however, I know you people don’t like to read.
Certainly not some of the responses in this thread, but campaign contributions to progressive causes - and their consequences - are fair game. That’s a far cry from “the world’s puppet master.”
