[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]And this, in a nutshell, is a form of antisemtitsm itself on the left.  It's not just about tiki torches.  It's the indifference to antisemtism, the call for patience and understanding in the face of repeated infractions, and the excuse-making - compared to the attack and negative motives upon Jews who are upset about it.

Just out of curiosity, how much difference do you see between conspiracy theories about the Rothschilds and conspiracy theories about George Soros? A lot of the Soros discourse is wrapped up in blatant anti-Semitism. Are you equally offended by that? We see Soros being blamed for all sorts of things almost daily in the Political Forum. Does that concern you? Where does this fit in your theories about "hard" and "soft" anti-Semitism?

Soros himself grew up in what he described as a Jewish ant-Semitic home. [/quote]

Soros grew up in a Jewish home. What kind of drugs are you on?[/quote]

Ask Soros. He’s the one who said it:

[i]
As a Jew in Hungary in 1944, Soros was in serious danger of deportation. To avoid Soros’ apprehension by the Nazis, his father had him spend the summer of 1944 living with a non-Jewish Ministry of Agriculture employee, posing as his godson. George Soros later said that he “grew up in a Jewish, anti-Semitic home,” and that his parents were “uncomfortable with their religious roots.” They even changed their name from Shwartz to Soros in 1936 to disassociate themselves from the Jewish community.[/i]

You don't provide a source for your quote, but a search for that exact language turned up a website that gave the source as Wikipedia. Wikipedia says this:

"Soros has wryly described his home as a Jewish antisemitic home."

"Wryly" is defined as "in a way that expresses dry, especially mocking, humor." Soros was joking, not saying that he literally grew up in an anti-Semitic house.

Ironically, in other circumstances, misrepresenting something in this way would itself be described as anti-Semitic.
