Since the media is once again insisting that Soros Nazi collaboration was a conspiracy theory, heres George is in his own words on 60 Minutes.
KROFT: My understanding is that you went out with this protector of yours who swore that you were his adopted godson.
Mr. SOROS: Yes. Yes.
KROFT: Went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from the Jews.
Mr. SOROS: Yes. Thats right. Yes.
KROFT: I mean, thats that sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many years. Was it difficult?
Mr. SOROS: Not not at all. Not at all. Maybe as a child you dont you dont see the connection. But it was it created no no problem at all.
KROFT: No feeling of guilt?
Mr. SOROS: No.
KROFT: For example that, Im Jewish and here I am, watching these people go. I could just as easily be there. I should be there. None of that?
Mr. SOROS: Well, of course I c I could be on the other side or I could be the one from whom the thing is being taken away. But there was no sense that I shouldnt be there, because that was well, actually, in a funny way, its just like in markets that if I werent there of course, I wasnt doing it, but somebody else would would would be taking it away anyhow. And it was the whether I was there or not, I was only a spectator, the property was being taken away. So the I had no role in taking away that property. So I had no sense of guilt.
Was Soros responsible for his actions at that age? Hes certainly responsible for his adult perceptions of them. And hes been quite clear about that.
Its not just that he felt no guilt over it. It was, in his own words, as, the most exciting time of my life.
But again, the Holocaust was a very difficult time. People do terrible things to survive. And they have mixed feelings about them. Life isnt cut and dried.
Except that we are talking about a man who has waged his own relentless war on Israel and Jews, funding a variety of anti-Israel groups, including J Street, justifying anti-Semitism and being condemned for disrespecting a Holocaust survivor by Elie Wiesel.
Soros grew up in a Jewish, anti-Semitic home. He called his mother a typical Jewish anti-Semite who hated his first wife because she was too Jewish. After undergoing psychoanalysis, he was able to understand that his shame was rooted in his Jewishness. He had a special contempt for Jewish philanthropies after a failed attempt to defraud a Jewish charity in London.
He was booed when he undermined the presentation of an award to a Holocaust survivor by comparing Israeli Jews to Nazis. Elie Wiesel had declared in disgust, I heard what happened. If Id been thereand you can quote meI would have walked out.
That same year, Soros blamed the Israeli government for a resurgence of anti-Semitism in Europe. He might have been more honest if he took responsibility considering his funding of groups that traffic in anti-Semitic smears. And his own anti-Semitic allegations that attitudes toward the Jewish community are influenced by the pro-Israel lobbys success in suppressing divergent views.
Soros has defended Hamas and Hezbollah who have called for the extermination of the Jews. He championed the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt despite or because of its support for Hitler. Yusuf al-Qaradawi had claimed that Hitler had been sent by Allah to punish the Jews. Allah willing, the Brotherhoods spiritual leader said, the next time will be at the hands of the believers (Muslims).
Some collaborate once. Others never stop collaborating.
