Pramila Jayapal despite controversy<\/h2>\n<p>Left-wing billionaire George Soros and his son Alex Soros have made significant campaign donations to Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), despite recent criticism of her anti-Israel rhetoric. According to second quarter filings, the Soroses each \u200bcontributed $6,600 to \u2063Jayapal&#8217;s\u2062 campaign on June 29.<\/p>\n<p>Jayapal faced\u2062 backlash from fellow Democrats after stating at a progressive event in Chicago that she\u200d believes &#8220;Israel is a racist state.&#8221; Many House Democrats condemned her comments as &#8220;dangerous and antisemitic.&#8221; Jayapal has since attempted to clarify her remarks and apologize.<\/p>\n<h3>George Soros and his support for anti-Israel causes<\/h3>\n<p>These donations shed light on George Soros&#8217; \u200dongoing financial support for campaigns and nonprofit organizations that seek to delegitimize Israel. In 2020, the Soros-backed Foundation to \u200bPromote Open Society granted $250,000 \u2064to the Alliance for Global Justice, an\u2062 anti-Israel\u2063 charity in Arizona that has been linked to Palestinian terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the foundation donated $25,000 to\u200d Democracy for the Arab World Now, which recently launched a campaign pressuring the U.S. government to revoke a visa for a top Israeli official. While some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/soros-family-boosts-israel-critic-pramila-jayapal-with-max-donations-to-reelection-campaign\/\" title=\"Soros family supports Pramila Jayapal's reelection with generous contributions.\">left-leaning groups argue<\/a> that criticism of\u2064 Soros amounts to antisemitism, considering his Jewish heritage and survival of the Nazi-Hungary occupation, others, such as the Anti-Defamation League, disagree.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Soros family and its massive network of nonprofits have long been some of the biggest \u200cfunders of anti-Semites \u2064and Israel-haters in the world, surpassed only \u2064by a\u2062 few oil kingdoms,&#8221; said Scott Walter, president of Capital Research Center, a conservative investigative think tank. &#8220;This gives the\u200c lie to claims that it&#8217;s anti-Semitic to criticize Soros.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jayapal&#8217;s\u2063 attempt to clarify her remarks<\/p>\n<p>In response to the controversy, Jayapal stated that she was trying to &#8220;defuse a tense situation&#8221; \u2063at the Chicago event and\u200c offered apologies to those she may have hurt with her words.<\/p>\n<p>The nonprofit group Netroots Nation, which organized the event, has received grants \u2064from organizations such as Planned Parenthood Action Fund and Demand Justice. It has also received funding from the Foundation for Middle East Peace, which has\u2063 equated Israel to an &#8220;apartheid&#8221; state and condemned Israel&#8217;s government for classifying Palestinian activist\u2062 hubs as terror organizations.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the support from Soros, \u2064Jayapal&#8217;s Democratic colleagues issued a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-york-democrat-state-senators-issue-statement-calling-for-cuomos-emergency-powers-to-be-stripped\/\" title=\"New York Democrat State Senators Issue Statement Calling For Cuomo\u2019s Emergency Powers To Be Stripped\">joint statement calling<\/a> her\u200b remarks about Israel &#8220;unacceptable.&#8221;\u200b They emphasized their commitment to the longstanding bipartisan consensus supporting the U.S.-Israel relationship.<\/p>\n<p>Conservative voices\u200c criticize Soros and his supporters<\/p>\n<p>Conservative advocates, such as Hayden Ludwig, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-tries-to-contain-classified-documents-leak-fallout-stakes-just-got-higher\/\" title=\"Biden tries to contain classified documents leak fallout: 'Stakes just got higher'\">policy research director<\/a> for Restoration of America, argue\u2064 that the Soroses&#8217; support for Jayapal aligns with their shared ideology that &#8220;loathes Israel and the United States in equal measure.&#8221; Ludwig also challenges progressives who claim that criticism of Soros is antisemitic, stating that Americans won&#8217;t be fooled\u2062 by their attempts to have it both ways.<\/p>\n<p>Neither Jayapal&#8217;s campaign nor a spokesperson for Soros responded to requests for \u2064comment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As you know, OSF is a 501(c)(3) organization and does not\u2064 make political contributions,&#8221; said Jonathan Kaplan, a spokesman for the Open Society\u2064 Foundations.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click here<\/a> to read more from \u2063the \u2063Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Left-wing billionaire George Soros and his son Alex Soros donated $6,600 each to Rep.
