(Jewish Group) Key impeachment witness calls Soros attacks the 'new Protocols'

Fiona Hill, a former White House senior staffer providing key testimony in congressional hearings to impeach President Donald Trump, likened a right-wing narrative casting liberal Jewish billionaire George Soros as all-controlling to a notorious anti-Semitic forgery.

The narrative that Soros is behind an array of evildoings “is the new Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” Hill said Thursday in hearings. “It’s an absolute outrage.”

Soros has become a bugbear for some right-wingers, who blame his liberal philanthropy for a number of ills, citing little evidence. Trump himself last year blamed Soros for an “invasion” of Central American migrants that never materialized.

Hill in closed testimony last month had described the attacks as “anti-Semitic” and needing repudiation by Republicans. Her evident frustration and horror at the specious Soros-related attacks on her and colleagues, including the former ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, was one of many dramatic moments in the hearings, which wrapped up Thursday.

As I said in another thread, watch for the anti-Semitism coming our way.

Have little to do with Soros being Jewish. Soros rejects our religion and our culture.

Yes, the conspiracy theories around him fit neatly into stereotypes of Jews — and Soros plays up the Jewish angle for cover, but he is no friend of the Jewish and not good for the Jewish people.

Soros promotes whatever cause will make Soros money. It could be liberalism. It could be whatever. But the goal is to make him money.
