Five months before George Soros received a pipe bomb in the mail, a U.S. government-funded broadcasting network produced a segment that attacked the liberal donor—a common target of conservative conspiracy theories—as a “multimillionaire Jew” and “the architect of the financial collapse of 2008.”

The video segment, which aired in May, was produced by Radio Televisión Martí, a Spanish-language network that broadcasts news and propaganda to Cuba to promote US foreign policy interests. The Miami-based network is overseen by the Office of Cuba Broadcasting, which is part of the United States Agency for Global Media, an independent US government agency whose stated mission is “to inform, engage, and connect people around the world in support of freedom and democracy.”

The taxpayer-subsidized video portrays Soros as a threat to Latin American democracy. Featuring ominous music and images of street violence, the 15-minute video begins with the narration: “George Soros has his eye on Latin America. But Judicial Watch, an American investigative legal group, also has its eye on Soros and what it sees as his lethal influence to destroy democracies. It describes him as a millionaire investor and stock market speculator who exploits capitalism and Wall Street to finance anti-system movements that fill his pockets.” Judicial Watch, a right-wing group, is in the midst of a fundraising campaign called Expose Soros and has been looking for evidence that taxpayers are funding Soros’ advocacy work.

The United States Agency for Global Media is fully funded by US taxpayers. The agency, until recently known as the Broadcasting Board of Governors, has an annual budget of around $700 million, of which $24 million went to the Office of Cuba Broadcasting last fiscal year.

1. When you hear a right winger say Soros we should counter with what about Adelson

Who is destabilizing the Israel Palestine peace and destroying people by his gambling empire. And contributing to the repukes in record numbers.

2. Exactly.

Adelson is much more political than Soros. Adelson is trying to keep tRump in power, while he angles for gambling casinos overseas, in partnership with tRump.

4. I think we should avoid the "good jew, bad jew" dynamic.

We should focus on what people say and do, not what religious tradition they subscribe to.

5. Dangerous.

We do combat anti-Semitism with more of it, I am guessing you are alluding to calling out the hypocrisy of the right, but by stooping to saying "What about your Jew?" leads to the idea of "There are Jews, and there are "kikes"." Also, bringing in the "Israel aspect is flirting with more anti-Semitism and charge of dual loyalty. We are already seeing anti-Semitism come right out in plain view, and we re seeing supposed "allies" already using the "Israel" excuse to blame Jews for anti-Semitic acts, such as the recent arson attacks on 7 synagogues in NY.

We confront anti-Semitism with education, resolve, and justice, not more of the same!

3. Another reason we need a

House of Representatives that will perform their oversight function. We also need citizens involved in demanding our tax dollars are not spent to spread lies that demonize the Jewish faith or its members.

6. The anti Semitic argument is valid. I get it.

But we are not dealing with honest moral or truthful people and who make Soros the bogeyman, when he is not and WE must push back.

Push back or get pushed down.
