Anticipating attacks, i should like to emphasize that i do not subscribe to the myths propagated by enemies of israel and i am not blaming jews for anti-semitism. anti-semitism predates the birth of israel. neither israel's policies nor the critics of those policies should be held responsible for anti-semitism. at the same time, i do believe that attitudes toward israel are influenced by israel's policies, and attitudes toward the jewish community are influenced by the pro-israel lobby's success in suppressing divergent views.

More From George Soros

If people are pro-israel, they are pro-israel one-hundred-and-twenty percent. if they are anti-israel or pro-palestinian, they tend to be pro-palestinian one-hundred-and-twenty percent. i don't think a decent person has to choose between being pro-israel and pro-palestine. i think you have to be pro-peace.
Thinking People Decent
Jewish voters care. they want someone who's good on israel and who's good on jewish issues. but they also want somebody who's going to be pro-choice and pro-gun control and pro-gay rights. to the vast majority of the jewish community, just being good on israel or on jewish issues is not enough.

I have no idea what `classic anti-semitism' is. i'm not familiar with this term. i don't know where it comes from and what connection it has to france and what is occurring here. there wasn't anti-semitism in france. an isolated incident can always happen. when two drivers curse each other on the road, and one of them happens to be a jew, you can't define that as anti-semitism. in recent years - before the intifada - there were three or four incidents of anti-semitism a year, and that's out of 18 million crimes and violations of the law.

If someone is gay and is searching for the lord and has good will, then who am i to judge him? ... the problem is not having this tendency, no, we must be brothers and sisters to one another. the problem is in making a lobby of this tendency: a lobby of misers, a lobby of politicians, a lobby of masons, so many lobbies.
Brother Gay Judging
The pro-israel lobby has been remarkably successful in suppressing criticism. politicians challenge it at their peril because of the lobby's ability to influence political contributions.
Successful Israel Political
I strongly believe that a small jewish clique which has contempt for the mass of jewish people worked with non-jews to create the first world war, the russian revolution, and the second world war. this jewish/non-jewish elite used the first world war to secure the balfour declaration and the principle of the jewish state of israel.
