Far-left progressive billionaire Alex Soros is getting a lot of heat online for his recent statement denouncing the killing of two Israeli embassy staffers, despite his foundation funding anti-Israel groups. The son of George Soros, Alex Soros, took to X to express his outrage over the tragic deaths of Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC. The couple, who were set to be engaged, were senselessly murdered outside an event at the museum.
The suspect, identified as 31-year-old Elias Rodriguez, was apprehended by DC police after the shooting incident. Witnesses claim Rodriguez was seen pacing outside the museum before approaching a group of four people, including the victims, and opening fire. Following the attack, Rodriguez reportedly shouted “Free, free Palestine!” while being detained by security inside the museum.
Despite his condemnation of the killings, Soros faced backlash from social media users who criticized his financial support for anti-Israel groups that promote anti-Jewish sentiments. Comments flooded Soros’ post, accusing him and his father of contributing to the problem through the suppression of critics and funding of organizations that oppose Israel. Some users even went as far as blaming Soros for the deaths of Milgrim and Lischinsky, holding him accountable for the actions of their murderer.
It’s not really clear what Rodriguez’s affiliations are at the moment, but as the chair of OSF, Soros has been linked to funding various leftist groups that have been critical of Israel and called for the country’s dismantlement. Israel’s minister of diaspora affairs and social equality, Amichai Chikli, has likened Soros to his father in terms of their anti-Israel stance. Chikli expressed doubt that Soros would support pro-Israel causes, given his track record of funding organizations that undermine Israel’s legitimacy.
Chikli also pointed out that OSF supports groups like Human Rights Watch and J Street, which have been accused of taking positions that favor Iran and the Palestinians over Israel. Additionally, Soros’ foundation has been accused of funding radical Palestinian organizations that view Israel as a colonial state and a moral offense. The elder Soros has faced criticism as well for his financial contributions to NGOs allegedly supporting Hamas, a group that seeks to destroy the State of Israel.
In conclusion, despite Alex Soros’ denouncement of the tragic killings of two Israeli embassy staffers, his ties to anti-Israel groups have sparked controversy and rebuke online. Critics have pointed fingers at Soros and his father for funding organizations that promote anti-Jewish sentiments and undermine Israel’s existence. The situation raises questions about the role of wealthy individuals in influencing political agendas and the consequences of their financial support for controversial causes.
