https://wearethene.ws/notable/207490 Not sure how I got to the site tonight, but (We) Are The News pasted the following from Wikipedia (people still source this garbage?!):

Views on antisemitism and Israel When asked about what he thought about Israel, in The New Yorker, Soros replied: "I don't deny the Jews to a right to a national existence – but I don't want anything to do with it."[217] According to hacked emails released in 2016, Soros's Open Society Foundation has a self-described objective of "challenging Israel's racist and anti-democratic policies" in international forums, in part by questioning Israel's reputation as a democracy.[218] He has funded NGOs which have been actively critical of Israeli policies[219][220][221] including groups that campaign for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel.[219]

So naturally, I navigated to the Wikipedia link - I don’t even trust it for movie synopses anymore - but what the hell! Here are some highlights I plucked out (of course per the article he’s a saint):

• On November 11, 2003, in an interview with The Washington Post, Soros said that removing President George W. Bush from office was the "central focus of my life" and "a matter of life and death". He said he would sacrifice his entire fortune to defeat Bush "if someone guaranteed it"

• When Soros was asked in 2006 about his statement in The Age of Fallibility that "the main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States", he responded that "it happens to coincide with the prevailing opinion in the world. And I think that's rather shocking for Americans to hear. The United States sets the agenda for the world. And the rest of the world has to respond to that agenda. By declaring a 'war on terror' after September 11, we set the wrong agenda for the world ... When you wage war, you inevitably create innocent victims."

• Since 2012, the Hungarian Fidesz government has labelled George Soros as an enemy of the state, due to his humanitarian and political involvement in the European refugee crisis. In response, Soros called the government "a mafia state".

• He has suggested that the contemporary domination of world politics and world trade by the United States is a reflexive phenomenon, insofar as the success of military and financial coercion feeds back to encourage increasingly intense applications of the same policies to the point where they will eventually become unsustainable.

• In January 2019, Soros used his annual speech at the World Economic Forum, in Davos, to label Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China and President of China, as the "most dangerous opponent of open societies", saying: "China is not the only authoritarian regime in the world but it is the wealthiest, strongest and technologically most advanced". He also urged the United States not to allow the Chinese technology companies Huawei and ZTE to dominate the 5G telecommunications market as this would present an "unacceptable security risk for the rest of the world". Soros also criticized the newest form of China's Big Brother-like system of mass surveillance called the Social Credit System, saying it would give Xi, "total control" over the people of China.

I pretty much stick to this site for my Q fix, so I’m not familiar with (We) Are The News, not to mention several of the sources cited in the article aren’t available anymore (although some are archived via Wayback)... I suppose I’m curious about a couple of things - mainly because Soros doesn’t seem to be very popular in the Jews community:

• How reliable is (We) Are The News? I don’t understand why his “take” on Israel is headline on the site.
• Is any of the above actually true? Not that it matters - or does it?

Anyhoo, my thought is that Soros might be trying to distance himself... but why? Where does he fit in all of this?
