Researcher’s Note: Borders Are Soros Biggest Obstacle!
Israel Stands with Hungary’s Nationalist
Government
By Caroline Glick April 17, 2018 , 8:00 am
Notably, the first foreign leader who called Hungarian
Prime Minister Viktor Orban to congratulate him for his decisive victory in
Hungary’s parliamentary elections Sunday was Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu.
Netanyahu called Orban
and invited him to visit Israel.
Netanyahu thanked Orban
for “Hungary’s support for Israel in international forums.”
Orban’s Fidesz party won a landslide victory in the
parliamentary elections, giving Orban a third consecutive term as Hungary’s
prime minister and providing him with the two-thirds parliamentary majority to
amend Hungary’s constitution.
His campaign rested on his pledge to block foreign-funded
non-governmental organizations (NGOs) from undermining Hungarian sovereignty, including
its ability to enforce its restrictions on immigration.
The main bogeyman in his campaign was a U.S.-based
billionaire and former Hungarian George Soros. Soros has underwritten pro-open borders,
pro-immigration NGOs in Hungary, which Orban accused of working to subvert the
Hungarian government’s ability to prevent unwanted immigrants from entering the
country.
Since 2015, when German Chancellor Angela Merkel
permitted hundreds of thousands of predominantly Muslim migrants to enter
Europe from the Middle East, Orban has been one of the most outspoken opponents
of her open borders policies, which he claims threaten Hungary’s national
identity and its economy.
Last summer, Orban’s party submitted a bill that
would levy a 25 percent tax on foreign donations to Hungarian-registered NGOs.
The bill also required NGOs to reveal their funding sources and register as
foreign agents if they received significant funding from foreign sources. The
United Nations, the European Union, the Obama administration, and the liberal
media in Europe and America all condemned the bill. Orban has also been
condemned and censured by the EU for refusing to accept migrants from the
Middle East in 2015 and 2016. He built a wall along Hungary’s
southern border with Serbia to prevent the migrants from entering Hungary. He
later built a border wall along Hungary’s border with Croatia for the same
purpose.
In February, members of Orban’s party submitted an even
tougher anti-NGO bill that includes provisions for barring
foreigners who support illegal migration from entering the country, and
compelling NGOs to receive licenses to operate from Hungary’s security services.
With Fidesz’a two-thirds parliamentary majority, Orban is empowered to pass the
bill into law.
Soros’s defenders argue that some of the Hungarian
attacks against the pro-unfettered migration philanthropist, who is
Jewish, have
antisemitic undertones. A campaign backed by Orban included
billboards with the statement, “Let’s not allow Soros to have the
last laugh,” over a picture of Soros. Jewish groups claimed that the message
inspires anti-Semitism.
According to Reuters,
many anti-Soros posters were defaced with explicitly antisemitic graffiti along
the lines of “stinking Jew.”
Last summer, Israel’s ambassador to Hungary issued a
statement denouncing the anti-Soros campaign, claiming it “evokes sad memories
but also sows hatred and fear,” in an apparent reference to the mass murder of
most of Hungary’s 800,000 Jews during the Holocaust.
It is true that the anti-Soros campaign has included some
anti-Jewish rhetoric. It is also true that Soros has underwritten a
pro-immigration campaign that the vast majority of Hungarians oppose. They
oppose it not because they hate Jews, but because they view unfettered
immigration as devastating to their national interests — including their
national identity, sovereignty, economy, and national security.
Moreover, Soros has run similar campaigns against Israel
by massively funding anti-Israel NGOs in Israel and throughout the Western
world. According
to NGO Monitor, an Israeli organization dedicated to researching the
role NGOs play in delegitimizing Israel, through his Open Society Institute,
Soros spends tens of
millions of dollars annually underwriting anti-Israel NGOs.
J Street, the Jewish anti-Israel lobby formed in the U.S.
in 2008, is a beneficiary of Soros’s philanthropy. The group was envisioned by
Soros in a 2007 article he
published in the New York Review of Books.
Another one of Soros’s beneficiaries is the viciously
anti-Israel Human Rights Watch (HRW). HRW spearheaded the campaign in
Hungary, alleging that
the Orban-supported campaign against Soros was antisemitic. As NGO
Monitor notes,
Soros bailed out HRW after major donors abandoned the group amid allegations of
profound anti-Israel bias and animus.
Netanyahu has accused Soros
of funding the anti-Israel NGOs in Israel, the U.S., and Europe that have been
running a massive campaign to prevent Israel from deporting illegal migrants
from Africa.
Due to the central role that Soros plays in the political
war being waged against Israel by the international left in Israel and
throughout the West, Israel’s Foreign Ministry released a statement supporting
the Orban-supported anti-Soros campaign in Hungary shortly after Israel’s
ambassador in Hungary condemned the anti-Soros campaign.
In a “clarification” of
the ambassador’s statement, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon stated,
“In no way was the statement [by the ambassador] meant to delegitimize
criticism of George Soros, who continuously undermines Israel’s democratically
elected governments.”
Nahshon added that Soros funds organizations “that defame
the Jewish state and seek to deny it the right to defend itself.”
A week after the statement and clarification were issued,
Netanyahu visited Orban in Budapest. Orban vociferously condemned antisemitism
and expressed profound regret for Hungary’s collaboration with the Nazis in
annihilating Hungarian Jewry.
Orban said,
“It is the duty of every Hungarian government to defend its citizens whatever
their heritage. During World War Two Hungary did not honor this moral and
political obligation. That was a crime because we chose collaboration with the
Nazis over the defense of the Jewish community. That can never happen again.
The Hungarian government will defend all its citizens in the future.”
For his part, Netanyahu thanked
Orban for his “important words” and praised him for his
government’s opposition to what is commonly referred to as “the new
antisemitism,” hatred of Israel.
Netanyahu said,
“There is a new antisemitism expressed in anti-Zionism. That is delegitimizing
the one and only Jewish state. In many ways, Hungary is at the forefront of the
states that are opposed to this anti-Jewish policy and I welcome it and express
the appreciation of my government.”
On Thursday Israel will mark Yom Hashoah, or Holocaust
Remembrance Day, and mourn the genocide of a third of the Jewish people during
the Holocaust. It is notable that as the day approaches, Netanyahu made a point
of being the first foreign leader to congratulate Orban.
After the Holocaust, world Jewry coined the phrase “Never
Again” to express its commitment to preventing all future attempts to destroy
the Jewish people. That phrase, however, is often limited to combatting
Nazi-type anti-Semitism.
Although Jew-hatred on the far right remains a
significant threat, in Israel and in Europe many of
the threats and attacks against Israel are carried out by Muslims.
Leftist antisemitism is more
prevalent in many states in Western Europe than right-wing
antisemitism. And Israel’s strongest supporters in Europe, almost without fail,
make their home on the political right.
In standing with Orban, Netanyahu demonstrated that for
Israel, “Never Again” means standing against all forms of antisemitism with
equal force.
And in standing with Orban, Netanyahu made clear that
Israel bases its alliances on the actions of its allies. It supports those who
support the Jewish state, and it opposes those who oppose it, regardless of
ideological and partisan identities.
Soros-Funded Group Launches App to Help
Illegal Aliens Avoid Feds

George Soros must think illegal aliens are technology
advanced enough to use a smartphone and an apps to avoid ICE. Wonder if
he is also buying them phones, paying their monthly bills? Or are the
drug cartels giving away phones. Either way doubt if many illegal aliens
will use the app—they do not seem to need it, 12-15 million are here and avoid
arrest and detainment every day without it.
“An open borders group that has benefited from
U.S. taxpayer dollars and is funded by leftwing billionaire George Soros
launched a smartphone application to help illegal immigrants avoid federal
authorities. The app, Notifica (Notify), is described in a Laredo, Texas
news article as a
tool to protect immigrants living in the U.S. illegally by utilizing high tech
and online social communications. With the click of a button, illegal aliens
can alert family, friends and attorneys of encounters with federal authorities.
“Immigration agents knocking at the door?” the news story asks. “Now, there’s
an app for that, too.”
In Oakland they have the Mayor helping them break the
law—maybe others will do the same?

Judicial Watch, 4/26/18
An open borders group
that has benefited from U.S. taxpayer dollars and is funded by leftwing
billionaire George
Soros launched a smartphone
application to help illegal immigrants avoid federal authorities. The app, Notifica
(Notify), is described in a Laredo, Texas news article as a
tool to protect immigrants living in the U.S. illegally by utilizing high tech
and online social communications. With the click of a button, illegal aliens
can alert family, friends and attorneys of encounters with federal authorities.
“Immigration agents knocking at the door?” the news story asks. “Now, there’s
an app for that, too.”
The group behind the app is called United We Dream, which describes itself as the country’s
largest immigrant youth-led community. The nonprofit has more than 400,000
members nationwide and claims to “embrace the common struggle of all people of
color and stand up against racism, colonialism, colorism, and xenophobia.”
Among its key projects is winning protections and rights for illegal
immigrants, defending against deportation, obtaining education for illegal
immigrants and acquiring “justice and liberation” for undocumented LGBT
“immigrants and allies.” Illegal aliens encounter lots of discrimination, which
creates a lot of fear, according to United We Dream. “We empower people to
develop their leadership, their organizing skills, and to develop our own
campaigns to fight for justice and dignity for immigrants and all people,”
United We Dream states on its website, adding that this is achieved through
immigrant youth-led campaigns at the local, state, and federal level.
United We Dream started as a project of the National Immigration Law Center (NILC), according to records
obtained by Judicial Watch. Between 2008 and 2010, NILC received $206,453 in
U.S. government grants, the records show. The project funded was for
“immigration-related employment discrimination public education.” Headquartered
in Los Angeles, NILC was established in 1979 and is dedicated to “defending and
advancing the rights of immigrants with low income.” The organization, which
also has offices in Washington D.C. and Berkeley, California claims to have
played a leadership role in spearheading Barack Obama’s amnesty program known
as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which has shielded hundreds
of thousands of illegal aliens from deportation. “Ultimately, NILC’s goals are
centered on promoting the full integration of all immigrants into U.S.
society,” according to its website.
Both the NILC and its offshoot, United We Dream, get big
bucks from Soros’ Open Society Foundations (OSF). In fact, both nonprofits list
OSF as a key financial backer. In the United States Soros groups have pushed a
radical agenda that includes promoting an open border with Mexico and fighting
immigration enforcement efforts, fomenting racial disharmony by funding
anti-capitalist black separationist organizations, financing the Black Lives
Matter movement and other groups involved in the Ferguson Missouri riots,
weakening the integrity of the nation’s electoral systems, opposing U.S.
counterterrorism efforts and eroding 2nd Amendment protections.
OSF has also funded a liberal think-tank headed by former Hillary Clinton
campaign chairman John Podesta and the scandal-ridden activist group
Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), so corrupt that
Congress banned it from receiving federal funding.
Incredibly, the U.S. government uses taxpayer dollars to
support Soros’ radical globalist agenda abroad. As part of an ongoing
investigation, Judicial Watch has exposed several collaborative efforts between
Uncle Sam and Soros in other countries. Just last week Judicial Watch published
a special investigative
report that exposes in detail the connection between
U.S.-funded entities and Soros’ OSF to further the Hungarian philanthropist’s
efforts in Guatemala. The goal is to advance a radical globalist agenda through
“lawfare” and political subversion, the report shows. Much like in the United
States, OSF programs in Guatemala include funding liberal media outlets,
supporting global politicians, advocating for open borders, fomenting public
discord and influencing academic institutions.
Last year Judicial Watch exposed a
joint effort between the U.S. government and Soros to destabilize the
democratically elected, center-right government in Macedonia. Records obtained
by Judicial Watch in that investigation show that the U.S. Ambassador to
Macedonia worked behind the scenes with OSF to funnel large sums of American
dollars for the cause, constituting an interference of the U.S. Ambassador in
domestic political affairs in violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic
Relations. The cash—about $5 million—flowed through the State Department and
USAID.
Soros Admits Involvement In Migrant Crisis:
‘National Borders Are The Obstacle’
Nick Hallett
2 Nov 2015
Last week, Mr Orban accused Mr Soros – who was born in
Hungary – of deliberately encouraging the migrant crisis.
“This invasion is driven, on the one hand, by people
smugglers, and on the other by those (human rights) activists who support
everything that weakens the nation-state,” Mr Orban said.
“This Western mindset and this activist network is
perhaps best represented by George Soros.”
Mr Soros has now issued an email
statement to Bloomberg Business, claiming his foundations help
“uphold European values”, while Mr Oban’s actions in strengthening the Hungarian
border and stopping a huge
migrant influx “undermine those values.”
“His plan treats the protection of national borders as
the objective and the refugees as an obstacle,” Mr Soros added. “Our plan
treats the protection of refugees as the objective and national borders as the
obstacle.”
Last month, Mr Orban accused
pro-immigration non-governmental organisations (NGOs) of “drawing a living from
the immigration crisis,” singling out those funded by Mr Soros.
George Soros is a firm backer of transnational bodies
such as the European Union, and his Open Society Foundation (OSF) provides
assistance for pro-migration activists. He is well-known for his support for
“progressive” causes such as the Centre for American Progress, Hillary Clinton
and Barack Obama.
The OSF website explains: “We believe that migration and
asylum policy should be grounded in economic and demographic realities, not
driven by temporary political considerations or popular misconceptions.
“In Europe, many of our civil society partners are raising
their voices demanding a common European approach in line with international
human rights commitments.”
Mr Orban said in an interview
last month that immigration and multiculturalism are endangering Europe’s
“Christian roots” and creating “parallel societies”.
Europeans, he said, should “stick to our Christian
values” and “Europe can be saved,” but only if they “take seriously the
traditions, the Christian roots and all the values that are the basis of the
civilisation of Europe.”
