GIVING SOMETHING BACK?:

Tsuris From Soros (HILLEL HALKIN, October 24, 2006, NY Sun)

Super-tycoon George Soros, it's been announced, has decided to sponsor a new "progressive Jewish lobby" that will counter the influence of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee and other pro-Israel Jewish organizations in order to help "promote Israeli-Arab peace."

The rumor has long been that Mr. Soros got his start by helping to take the property of Jews, so it's only fair that he plow some of his own accumulated wealth back into the cause, eh?

Soros may be the Hungarian in the old Yiddish joke.

There are already alleged charities intended to keep Jews on the left side of politics. For example, there's the Goldman Fund which appears to be Debbie Findling's employer.
