As the US presidential election draws near, Jewish conservatives have launched a campaign called ‘Jews Against Soros’ to denounce the political activities of billionaire George Soros. The campaign, led by conservative activist Elizabeth Pipko, accuses Soros of funding left-wing movements that are divisive and anti-Semitic. According to Pipko, Soros’s support for Black Lives Matter and other causes is contributing to a rise in anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry. The campaign is not only targeting Soros’s political activities, but his Jewish identity as well, claiming that he is betraying his own people. This move has sparked controversy among the Jewish community, with some denouncing the attack on Soros’s Jewishness as “disgusting” and “unacceptable.” Soros himself has been the subject of numerous conspiracy theories, and this latest campaign is seen by some as an attempt to scapegoat him and distract from more pressing issues. The ‘Jews Against Soros’ campaign raises questions about the role of wealthy donors in politics, the use of identity politics in attacking opponents, and the ongoing struggle against hate speech.
