1. Who cares! His money let him spend it on what he wants!
(09.26.10)
2. More about Soros (Schwartz)
Thomas ,   Dixieland (US-South)   (09.26.10)
We need more informative articles - even a permanent column - on the insidious workings of the Jewish Leftists to destroy Israel. The Washington Times article states: "Soros revealed as funder of liberal Jewish-American lobby" - title. "Tax forms obtained by The Washington Times reveal that Mr. Soros and his two children, Jonathan and Andrea Soros, contributed a total $245,000 to J Street from one Manhattan address in New York during the fiscal year from July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2009." http://tinyurl.com/2d36l98 Don't let these evildoers disappear in the memory hole! Our future depends on our vigilance!
3. Explains much
Christopher ,   Boston, MASS   (09.26.10)
The only loyalty Soros has is to profits. The existence of Israel threatens his relationship with the Islamist oil states and thereby his wallet. Can't have that.
4. He is very rich and powerful
Yaakov Sullivan ,   NYC, NY   (09.26.10)
but also very attractive. A man with that much money and a lover of Islam can have me anytime
5. All will be know!
~~Lengualima~~ ,   USA   (09.26.10)
Nothing is hide below the heaven, all is know. If today or tomorrow do not know, but will be know.
6. GEORGE SOROS
LAWRENCE RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (09.26.10)
A self-hating piece of drek ,whichever way you look at it .And J-street is evil.
7. Finally one smart Jewish leaders helping Israel
Mark ,   USA   (09.26.10)
This man is smart, unconditional support of Israel from USA dengers Israel, it creates backlash of resentment, many times Current Israel leaders made strings of mistakes some of them undefendable like Flotilla affair, and that in return chips away credibility of current leaders and US, Friends do ot let friends drive drunk, and everytime Israel is not right, most of it comes from great parenoi, some is understandable but most is not, no one likes to see children of any nation killed by Phosfhourus bombs, and civilians killed in high seas by comondos, Israel really has to evaluate thier policy making , and I comend Sorors for really suporting Israel by not supporting this current tugs
8. pro-Israel, pro-peace????????????HAHAHAHAHA
J-Street = ENEMIES ,   OF ISRAEL   (09.26.10)
9. J-SREET. YOU LIARS
eran ,   Singapore   (09.26.10)
10. Another lie
Amy ,   San Francisco   (09.26.10)
Why am I not surprised? J-Street has been exposed with just another lie under their belt. And by the way, J-Street is hardly a pro-Israel organization. Its members are self-hating Jews who are affiliated with the far left, just like their sponsor.
11. Allways follow the money trail
ariel ,   Holon/Philly   (09.26.10)
J-Street = Traitors. I am sure for Arab involvement too
12. And this brings the question, who funds the New Israel Fund?
Tahl ,   Ashdod   (09.26.10)
Methinks that like J-Street, the New Israel Fund has a good reason to keep mum on this issue.
13.  hope for future cooperation between J -Street
Salma ,   Palestine   (09.26.10)
And leaders of the Arab community in America, who with no doubt still need some time to become an influential lobby in USA. I believe In the end, wise moderates can overcome ideological extremists.
14. The mask is off
Carl   (09.26.10)
The article forgets to mention that until 2 days ago this issue was specifically addressed by the J street website, where they categorically denied that Soros contributed to them. I wonder what other anti-Israel groups are also backing them?
15. Soros, his family in WW2, Hungarian jews.
tanya ,   tel aviv israel   (09.26.10)
16. J-Street has a bad history of lying
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (09.26.10)
So now it is exposed that J-Street has been lying about the sources of its funding. J-Street also conveniently makes up "facts" on its website, like the myth that the settlements have "drained Israel's economy." Funny, but for the last 20 years everybody has been amazed at Israel's powerhouse economy - yet J-Street is peddling this anti-Israel piece of propaganda. Lying about where there money comes from. Lying about where our money is. Why is J-Street lying?
17. Israel before WW2
Israel for JEWS   (09.26.10)
.Soros family was HOLOCAUST survivor.If the JEWS had their own Country,millions of Jews could have been saved.WITHOUT THE STATE OF ISRAEL,JEWS WOULD BE ++++++++++++++++++. SUPPORTING ISRAEL MEANS YOU ARE FREE & PROUD JEW.
18. I would seriously hasten
Jew ,   Israel   (09.26.10)
to call J-Street Pro-Israel in any way. It is not the outright criticism, that is good for any democracy, but rather the counter productive efforts that impede upon national sovereignty as a basis for J-Streets funded activities within Israel.
19. i wish Soros would not stand behind
Jrodstein ,   Basalt, Colorado   (09.26.10)
me as he does not stand behind J-street and give me almost a million bucks! I'm sure he has no say at all in J-Street!!!
20. An idiot with money is still an idiot...who cares!!!
Al   (09.26.10)
21. J-Street is NOT PRO-ISRAEL - get your facts right
M.Oliver ,   Tel Aviv   (09.26.10)
Ben Ami and the prats at J-Street have been running subversive anti-Israel campaign for some time now. New israel Fund is another anti-Israel "front". They are all backed by Qatar's money and it makes perfect sense that Soros would fund one of them. No news here for me.
22. Soros - a Holocaust Survivor?
Guardian of Israel ,   Israel   (09.26.10)
This is the first time I ever heard that Hungarian born George Soros was a Holocaust survivor. I once read that he hide his Jewish identity during the war and as a young man worked for the Nazis stealing Jewish loot. Please check the facts as millions of people are extremely interested in the real Geroge Soros
23. no.13
hebrew prophet ,   israel   (09.26.10)
Hey stupid Palestinian Salma what exactly is a wise moderate and what exactly is an ideological extremist ,spell it our for us and don,t talk in riddles,please?
24. How much $$$ did J Street get from Saudi Arabia?
Deb Gold ,   Bethesda, MD USA   (09.26.10)
They also kept denying having received money from Saudi Arabia, as they did with regard to Soros. Isn't it time they told us how much they received from Saudi Arabia, and how much money was directed at them from Bahrain and indirectly from Iran?
25. # 22
Birdi ,   Israel   (09.26.10)
Indeed Soros is a Holocaust survivor. Facts on his life can be found at www.wikipedia.com
26. #25. Birdi: he was a Nazi collaborator
Bela ,   Budapest -.hu   (09.26.10)
I am a Holocaust survivor for I was born in the Budapest ghetto during WWII. and all my family was taken to the camps or died of starvation. At the same time Schwarz became Soros and under the tutelage of Hungarian Nazi officials helped confiscate other Jews properties. Please don't mislead the people: there are sufficient amount on info to be had on Soros. We don't consider a Jews who was in the ranks of the Nazis as "Holocaust Survivor" for the proper definition is Kapo.
27. Soros Money
John Peacher ,   WV USA   (09.26.10)
How stupid do the Soros's of the world think we are; To say they contribute to J-Street but do not influence their debate or stands? What if J-Street suddenly came to its senses and decided that Eretz Israel does belong to the Jewish people and it should all be developed and reinvigorated to what it once was, would the Soros's of the world continue to contribute? Of course not! This would interfere with "business". We cannot have truth muddy the debate, now can we!
28. # 26
Birdi ,   Israel   (09.26.10)
Bella, I was repeating what is written about Soros in Wikipedia. Thanks for correcting my post. For what its worth, I too lost my entire family in the Holocaust.
29. The REAL STORY
Steve   (09.26.10)
Real story here is who released these confidential financial documents and why ? J-Street has built up many enemies on the right with connections, this release is proof of their power. The timing of the story seems funny. Obama launches his bold new push for peace with J-Street as a prominent supporter. Right as that very process starts a revelation which seems masterfully executed to bedazzle J-Street & confuse it's membership at the very moment the process begins. Leaking the SOROS funding story during this period seems intended to leave J-Street and it's supporters spending the next few months chasing it's own tail attempting to protecting it's image rather then spending this crucial period focusing on supporting the push for peace. The timing suggest this is not solely about destroying J-Street but also about knocking out a prominent supporter of the president's peace agenda during the first rounds thereby harming it's prospects. This story by the right leaning Washington Times is either evil or simply smells of it. I agree J-Street was wrong about not being more forthcoming. They flubbed this one up and I hope they will be more transparent with the press in the future. None of this takes away from the good that they do and or sincerity of their many members. There are forces out there who want peace to fail (whether they openly acknowledge that or not). I know one thing for sure , J-Street is not among them
