Why does anybody even talk about George Soros?

[UltraChad]

Every single thing he's doing in Gaza. It ain't legitimate warfare.

And that's the lie you tell yourself to believe the bullshit you do.

While shilling for Soros, a LITERAL FUCKIN NAZI. Not a neo Nazi, an ACTUAL Nazi.

 

[Rightguide]

That's where he put his money. The highest-crime areas are most in need of progressive DAs because those are the areas most in danger of having hardass RW assholes in office otherwise. Too many Americans are in prison, and that is optimal way for somebody with money to approach the problem.

Bullshit! We need to put a lot more people in prison. Even Democrat voters in CA voted to do so because of Soros funded Marxist DAs not prosecuting real crime. The state is in a state of decline that will take a generation or more to reverse.

Because he's a deeply evil man whose machinations have harmed economies and civil societies the world over for decades. His shorting of Asian currencies collapsed their economies and caused death and mayhem. Chinese women were raped en masse in pogroms in SE Asia. Many Chinese were killed.
I worked for a bank that repped him at the time. I saw it happen.
He supports DAs in the US who try to free, not prosecute criminals. They win reelection since many cities are nonwhite and going hard on crime hurts many of their family members.
I live in a big city that has a Soros DA.
Why talk about him? Because he is evil.

No, he didn't.

During the 1997 Asian financial crisis, the prime minister of Malaysia, Mahathir Mohamad, accused Soros of using the wealth under his control to punish the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) for welcoming Myanmar as a member. With a history of antisemitic remarks, Mahathir made specific reference to Soros's Jewish background ("It is a Jew who triggered the currency plunge")[80] and implied Soros was orchestrating the crash as part of a larger Jewish conspiracy. Nine years later, in 2006, Mahathir met with Soros and afterward stated that he accepted that Soros had not been responsible for the crisis.[81] In 1998's The Crisis of Global Capitalism: Open Society Endangered, Soros explained his role in the crisis as follows:

The financial crisis that originated in Thailand in 1997 was particularly unnerving because of its scope and severity ... By the beginning of 1997, it was clear to Soros Fund Management that the discrepancy between the trade account and the capital account was becoming untenable. We sold short the Thai baht and the Malaysian ringgit early in 1997 with maturities ranging from six months to a year. (That is, we entered into contracts to deliver at future dates Thai baht and Malaysian ringgit that we did not currently hold.) Subsequently, Prime Minister Mahathir of Malaysia accused me of causing the crisis, a wholly unfounded accusation. We were not sellers of the currency during or several months before the crisis; on the contrary, we were buyers when the currencies began to decline—we were purchasing ringgits to realize the profits on our earlier speculation. (Much too soon, as it turned out. We left most of the potential gain on the table because we were afraid that Mahathir would impose capital controls. He did so, but much later.)[82]

More power to him, then. Too many Americans are in prison.

The Soros CTs probably started with Lyndon LaRouche. They're all the bullshit that implies.

It may surprise you to learn that many people still have issues with government-sponsored genocide.

Hamas had the annihilation of the Jews in its charter and the Palestinians voted for that. There's only one side in that conflict that has a desire to commit genocide and it isn't the Israelis.

Israel has had to build a security wall and "Iron Dome" to protect itself from the genocidal intentions of its neighbours.

 

[jhenry922]

RWs on the PB occasionally mention Soros as if it were common knowledge that he is the evil genius behind this or that Dem administration. That makes no more sense than this.

I for one is a Canadian just love collecting my $100 monthly fee for posting outrageous left wing Gobbledy gook online thanks to George sending me Soros bucks

The rationalization that Israel is somehow "ensuring their right to exist" whilst slaughtering innocent women and children within Gaza is ludicrous. Yes, there is Hamas posturing about "destroying Israel", but Israel's year long extermination campaign in Gaza, with it's 30:1 casualty ratio is proof positive of Israel's genocidal intention.

Israel publicly stated on several occasions that they have built the "world's largest outdoor concentration camp" and now these modern-day Israeli fascists are busy shutting down this "camp" and ridding themselves of the people they perceive as "vermin".

It's pretty clear to the average bystander that Israel's ultimate goal is the annihilation of every non-Jewish person living on Israeli soil. The concept of "Blut und Ehre" seems deeply ingrained in the Israeli populace, as is their current collective bloodlust.

I'm currently reading the works of Norman Finkelstein and beginning to doubt the perceived "right" of Israel to exist as a country.

As always, YMMV.

No it isn't, it just shows how impossible it is to conduct a military campaign in a very densely populated area without there being collateral damage.

It's pretty clear to the average bystander that Israel's ultimate goal is the annihilation of every non-Jewish person living on Israeli soil.

Really? An Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics survey published in 2021 found that among Israeli "Jews" over the age of 20, about 45% identified as secular or not religious. 18% of Israelis are Muslim, 2% Christian and 2% Druze.

88% of Israeli Arabs say they are satisfied with their lives.

Gay Palestinians have to seek asylum in Israel as it's the only place in the Middle East they're safe.

"Collateral damage" is the unfortunate but real consequence of urban warfare. I agree with you on this.

It also implies the legitimate pursuit of a military objective.

Complete eradication of Gazan medical facilities and educational facilities under the fig leaf of "oh they had TUNNELS!" is not a valid military objective IMHO.

It is, however, a key component of ethnic cleansing/genocide, along with treating foreign journalists as sniper practice. And imprisoning the CEO of the last open hospital in northern Gaza as a 'suspected Hamas operative' shows us that the IDF isn't even trying to hide their misdeeds any longer.

The Israeli "Defense" Force is conducting nothing more than an extended, coordinated series of war crimes.

Gay Palestinians have to seek asylum in Israel as it's the only place in the Middle East they're safe.

Imagine that.

Look, we're at an impasse here: Nothing you can possibly say or do can change my mind, and vice versa. I'll grant you the last word on the subject, but I'm not willing to expend time and/or effort re-litigating this issue any further. You can continue to cheer for the destruction of the Gazan people, while I hold out hope for swarms of locusts and frogs sent by a vengeful G-d to plague and decimate the IDF.
