[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Soros quotes from an interview:

“I don’t deny the Jews their right to a national existence–but I don’t want to be part of it.”

“My mother was quite anti-Semitic, and ashamed of being Jewish. Given the culture in which one lived, being Jewish was a clear-cut stigma, disadvantage, a handicap-and, therefore, there was always the desire to transcend it, to escape it.” He confirmed what someone had told me-that his family name had long ago been changed from Schwartz. “So the assimilationist Jews of Hungary had a deep sense of inferiority and it took me a long time to work through that,” he said, adding, however, that he succeeded in doing so many years ago… “I am escaping the particular. I think I am doing exactly that by espousing this universal concept”-of open society. “In other words, I don’t think that you can ever overcome anti-Semitism if you behave as a tribe… the only way you can overcome it is if you give up the tribalness.”

For a lot of Jews, this IS anti-Semitic behavior - disassociating yourself from Jewishness so anti-Semitism can't exist. [/quote]
PP here who was reserving judgment about Soros, due to lack of knowledge....

What does he mean by giving up tribalness? Give up the traditions and laws that keep the Jewish people in existence? If he thinks the only way to overcome antisemtism is to abandon that which makes us Jews, then yes....he would prefer to see Jews assimilate into non-.existence. That is crossing the line into an Antisemtic attitude.[/quote]

I suggest that you hold off this discussion until the quotes are validated. The poster did not provide a source for the quotes and when I search for them, I only find really crazy sites. There is a lot of fake news being spread about Soros. Without a source, it is impossible to know if the quote is authentic.
