(March 22, 2023 / JNS) Few things are as predictable or depressing as the Anti-Defamation League’s willingness to inject partisan or other irrelevant concerns into the discussion about antisemitism. And for the last several years, the ADL has bent over backwards to try to do so by claiming that former President Donald Trump is fomenting, inciting or somehow dog-whistling to antisemites.
So it was a given that when Trump launched into a tirade denouncing what he described as his imminent indictment by the office of Manhattan District Attorney Melvin Bragg that the group was going to find some way to twist the controversy into one in which they could accuse him of endangering the Jewish community.
In this case, it was Trump’s denunciation of Bragg as a “Soros prosecutor.”
The reference was to the 92-year-old billionaire hedge-fund operator and philanthropist George Soros, a Jew born in Hungary who has lavished vast sums on left-wing causes via his Open Society Foundations and its various political arms.
Here, Trump is being entirely accurate. Soros donated approximately $1 million to Bragg’s campaign for district attorney. Bragg is one of dozens of candidates that Soros backed in district attorney races around the country
