The making of the nuanced ‘The Attack,’ with a crew of Israelis and Palestinians, gave Ziad Doueiri a new view of the Jewish state.

Once again, people are going after the messenger instead of looking into the message. Instead of the press saying, "Hum, what's this all about? Let's look into this and see if there is any truth to it," they go after the messenger.
Kind of like when Joe the Plumber brought out the "share the wealth" statement from Obama which shed light into the real Obama. Instead of asking Obama more about his political leanings and philosophy and how there seemed to be a disconnect between what he was telling us and that statement, or really looking into Obama's true self and background, the press and everyone went after Joe the Plumber, looking into his personal life and villifying him for asking a Presidential candidate a legitimate question on the issues.
Someone on here said the conservatives are afraid of or hate Soros because he gives $ to Demo causes. No, it's because of the man he is. And frankly, seeing the position that Obama seems to be taking on Middle East issues and how he kisses the Palestinian and Muslim ass, I don't see how any Jew could support him or any liberal, progressive Democrat.
I remember when the PLO and Arrafat were terrorists and loathed and hid, and Israel was always supported. Now I see Obama and his progressive friends treating Israel as if they were the terrorist. It doesn't matter what you say to these people. They want the eradication of Israel and then the West. They don't care about settlements. After Israel gave up land and forced their own people out a few years ago, what happened within a month or two? Missiles started being sent back into Israel. No matter what you give them - short of the destruction of Israel - they are always going to find an excuse. It's never enough.
I think the ADL and Jews in this country need to wake up and see that it is not the Democrats and Obama's progressive friends that are the champions of the Jews and friends of the Jews.
I agree - Glenn Beck allowed Soros to speak for himself. Review the 60 Minutes interview with Soros himself. George Soros may have been born a Jewish child, but he has turned his back on his people.
This article is part of a distortion attempt to discredit Beck. I suggest that is necessary because Glenn Beck is hitting the nail on the head and has struck truth. May G-d bless him.
Hey Mr. Mark:
Enough of your constant demonizing of Obama--stop pretending he's an anti-Semite.
Meanwhile, where's your vitriol or outrage at Glenn Beck this week? If a lefty were saying these things, you'd be calling him a Haman or worse....
The Anti-Defamation League as led by Abe Foxman has proven that it is a hollow organization firstly by insisting that The Passion of the Christ, based on the New Testament was anti-Jewish and now supporting George Soros who has admitted to have no feelings of guilt what-so-ever by co-operating with the Nazis by stealing the belongings of Jews who were being shipped off to their deaths. This is a fact and to suggest that it is repugnant of Beck to report on this is just plain offensive. Shame on you Abe Foxman.
i haven't dovened at lincoln square for many years; and now live in jerusalem. rabbis buchwald and cohen, ol'vashalom, gave me a reason to travel up from chelsea -- initially by subway or bus, finally by foot -- to doven there every shabbos morning for at least a decade. they helped change my life. lss is a very important jewish anchor on the upper west side which should be supported by every jew who ever dovened there. and, perhaps, by everyone who was and is now able to live in a neighborhood that was once a trash heap. we should not let it die. i will be sending a check.
the person who came up with the gelt will get his reward in the next world as he has already received it in this world. thanks.
Talk about cowardly Anonymous, you cannot even give your name like I did. Now to the point. Can you disprove anything Glenn has said? If it were untrue would you not think FoxNews would have canned him a long time ago? What of the sources that Glenn has stated and provides on his website, can you disprove that as well? Why is it that the Progressive traitors like you can only attack the person but forget the facts that have been laid out in front of you?
Soros is an evil man. He is not even remorseful to the people he has devastated over the years. Like one person said here in comments "I am more Jewish than Soros and I am a Christian" well, I like that statement and I would use it to include myself.
Next time you want to attack someone, provide the evidence against the person instead of attacking the person with no facts.
Attack the person not the facts right? The usual Progressive traitor remarks. Instead of attacking the person, try to disprove what he has said.
Then prove all his statements wrong or are you just following Saul Alinsky's book to only attack the person and on the facts.
Well if Glenn was telling lies, then he would be off of the air, right? Glenn always has his facts, that is why he has the best research team to dig this kind of thing up. Investigate yourself instead of believing opinions of others that do not back up their rhetoric with facts.
I have been unable to find an article about the libel case in The Times issue of 12 Jan 1966.
The libel case against Soltikow was reported in The Times, Wed 16 Nov 1960, p.10 col B (including that a witness had stated that Herschel Grynszpan was still alive) and The Times, Fri 23 Dec 1960, p.6 col B.
"Glenn Beck might be right" is not the issue. He is maligning someone who as a 13-year-old boy did what he had to do to survive. Foxman is no fan of Soros, yet he is able to nonetheless defend the man's record in the Holocaust, because he is an intelligent adult. Period. He WAS judging Soros by saying "Soros is--many people would call him an anti-Semite. I will not." But you just did you twit.
It is also possible to criticize the State of Israel's actions with regard to the Palestinians without being an anti-Semite (not that it can't be done in a disgusting anti-Semitic way). It is possible to disagree with the actions of the US without being a terrorist, too. It is not possible to malign someone who survived the Holocaust, calling him an "anti-Semite," throwing his parents' decisions in their faces. This man is a disgusting hypocrite, and I hope that this 3-part defamation series puts that out there once and for all!
While the article is interesting and seems well researched, I wonder about it's accuracy when I see the claim that before the First World War, over 99% of world Jewry lived in Eastern Europe. This seems to ignore the considerable Jewish communities that then existed in the Ottoman Empire, Persia, north Africa, and by then the USA, not to mention those in western and central Europe. Combined, those communities were far larger than 1% of eastern European Jewry. Check the Jewish Encyclopedia, among other sources.
I'm not sure why anyone would embrace, condone or make excuses for what Soro's did to people? I don't get it. Is it guilt? The guilt hidden by those that followed in Soro's footsteps and of young Jewish boys spitting upon their Jewish neighbors?
You really need to consider who the man is:
* “It is sort of a disease when you consider yourself
some kind of god, the creator of everything, but I feel
comfortable about it now since I began to live it out,” (The
Independent, June 3, 1993)
* “I admit that I have always harbored an exaggerated
view of self-importance –to put it bluntly, I fancied myself
as some kind of god or an economic reformer like Keynes or,
even better, a scientist like Einstein,” (The Alchemy of
Finance, George Soros)
* According to friend Byron Wien (now with the
Blackstone Group), “You must understand he thinks he’s been
anointed by God to solve insoluble problems. The proof is
that he has been so successful at making so much. He
therefore thinks he has a responsibility to give money
away,” (Time Magazine, Sept 1, 1997)
* “If truth be known, I carried some rather potent
messianic fantasies with me from childhood which I felt I
had to control, otherwise I might end up in the loony bin.
But when I made my way in the world I wanted to indulge
myself in my fantasies to the extent that I could afford.”
About guilt of what he did? From a 60 minute interview he said he felt no guilt. How can that be? How could you feel no guilt when you are lying to save your skin. At the age of 14 you know these things.
"KROFT: No feeling of guilt?
Mr. SOROS: No.
KROFT: For example that, 'I'm Jewish and here I am, watching
these people go. I could just as easily be there. I should
be there.' None of that?"
Your article attacking Glenn Beck is a complete joke. Are you seriously implying that he is anti-semitic? I am not a fan of Beck's Show and have watched a total of three times. I did however watch this particular episode because I have come to the realization that George Soros is a complete sociopath who manipulates different international currencies in order to manipulate current events for his own personal and ideological gain. Yes, Mr. Soros happens to be Jewish by birth, but that is it. Like you said in your article he stabbed Hungarian Jews and the back and attacks Israel on a regular basis. I am ten times more Jewish than Mr. Soros and I am just a Christian who deeply respects the Jewish culture and Israel, unlike Mr. Soros. Instead of focusing on the real issue of Mr. Soros destroying the American economy (after he destroyed the economies of Britain, the ex-Soviet bloc countries, and Malaysia on a whim) and spending millions of dollars to tilt elections for his own personal benefit, you attack someone who is exposing a very, well, quite evil man.
Mr James Besser, you are a very small person who has essentially thrown in the towel, yet you are now aware of it. You are ideologically bankrupt person and writer when you have to turn to baseless racism claims to fill up space on the Jewish Week. You and Media Matters are doing the classic neo-liberal move of labeling a person as a racist in order to discount everything that they are saying. Well, it did not work on this reader.
"..Beck never cites his sources" ??? Pay attention! He not only cites sources, he backs this up with clips of Soros, himself, saying what he did during the holocaust, and how it was the best time of his life! He also repeatedly implores his audience not to take his word for what he tells us, but to LOOK IT UP FOR OURSELVES! I have, and have not found him at fault yet.

Here is the account provided by Michael T. Kaufman in his 2002 biography, Soros: The Life and Times of a Messianic Billionaire.
This is what actually happened. Shortly after George went to live with Baumbach [the Righteous Gentile hiding Soros], the man was assigned to take inventory on the vast estate of Mor Kornfeld, an extremely wealthy aristocrat of Jewish origin. The Kornfeld family had the wealth, wisdom and connections to be able to leave some of its belongings behind in exchange for permission to make their way to Lisbon. Baumbach was ordered to go to the Kornfeld estate and inventory the artworks, furnishings, and other property. Rather than leave his “godson” [Soros] behind in Budapest for three days, he took the boy with him. As Baumbach itemized the material, George walked around the grounds and spent time with Kornfeld’s staff. It was his first visit to such a mansion, and the first time he rode a horse. He collaborated with no one and he paid attention to what he understood to be his primary responsibility: making sure that no one doubted that he was Sandor Kiss. Among his practical concerns was to make sure that no one saw him pee.
good very good！！
Soros wants to take out Israel's best friend and biggest supporter: The United States. Wake up you idiots.
Oh my goodness, you could not be more wrong. Mr. Beck always goes above and beyond in checking out all stories he reports on. Everything he said about George Soros is not only well documented (anyone can find it on the internet), a great deal of it comes directly from George Soros' mouth, verbatim. I don't know how you can get authentic than that.
I think you are being kind by saying these apologists are unwitting dupes.
Mr. Lipscomb is on the money. This article is a hit hate piece. Nothing more and nothing less.
Looks like good ole' liberal Abe can't get his own story straight. Soros's collaboration with the Nazis is a known fact, as is the fact that it troubles him and troubled him not one iota. This article is nothing but a hit hate piece from a left wing fellow traveler of Soros.
Soros explicitly said he doesn't regret being a Nazi collaborator. He gives money to tons of antisemitic and anti Israel organizations including J-street. What's out of context here?
Foxman is a Democrat and so has to defend the outspoken Nazi, ADL is no JDL. Shame on them.
Great article, to the point. Enough of the groveling to Muslims ! Obama CANNOT be re-elected in 2012. Vote for ANYBODY but Obama. Thank you Jonathan for setting the regressives straight.
