(82,849 posts)In one breath, Giuliani says he has differences with Soros, but that doesn't make him anti-semitic. I tend to agree, even as Giuliani strays into Protocols territory with his allegation that Soros "controls" people. In the very next breath, though, Giuliani equates differences with the government of Israel with anti-semitism. And we're back where we started from. Show us your concentration camp tattoo, Rudy; let's see how much of a Jew you are.

When people validly have that fear, society has a serious problem, because those with privilege occupy such a commanding height that truth cannot be spoken to that power.
Gentiles can control people. Jews can control people. The different is that the Gentiles who are called "controlling" are called controlling because they control people, and their goyicity has little to do with the insult. In the case of some Jews, the reason they're called controlling is because they may be controlling to some extent, but their Jewishness "tops off" the requirement for the adjective. I.e,. the bar's set lower.
In this case, I don't think the bar's set lower. It's like saying it's "anti-Semitic" to say that Soros is a banker (because stereotype) or engages in currency manipulation (because Jews were money traders). We're left saying that a lot of his wealth was brought to him by the Hanukah goat or some other made-up excuse to avoid the actual facts.
That said, I've had the interesting experience of being at a table eating lunch, only to have somebody notice I'm eating matzoh. "Why?" I explained I was keeping Passover. Now, I knew my roommate, at the table with his ham sandwich, was Jewish. But the others, with their bacon cheeseburgers, also turned out to be Jewish. 4 people, the goy was the one not eating leaven, pork, and the only one among them that actually kept the Sabbath and didn't say "god damn" every 5 words. I was more Jewish than they were. They went to temple once a year, on Yom kippur. But I was the one who fasted.
