George Soros, Holocaust survivor as a teenager
Last night I talked with a friend from the Army in the 1970s. He voted for Trump twice and will vote for him again. He is an Evangelical Christian and believes he supports Israel.
At one point in the conversation I was taking about how the biggest turning point in my life was when Nazis marches in Charlottesville and four days later the President said there were "fine people on both sides."
My friend than announced confidently that "George Soros worked with the Nazis against the Jews."
I was aghast.
I knew that Fox and all the right wing hate media beat up Soros every chance they had.This accusation was clearly something my friend had heard so often he could quote it like it was from a hate Bible.
I said, "George Soros is 92. He survived the deportation and murder of a half million Hungarian Jews. He was 15 years old when the war ended. He got to London at 17. Made a lot of money and helped bring down the Soviet empire. You sources of information are Jew haters and stupid."
We changed topics after that.
It is a sad joke that Evangelicals love Israel, but not Jews. Swallowing lies that are this stupid prove the point.
