Jerusalem Post<\/a>: <\/p>\n

WASHINGTON\u2014 Hacked emails show that the Open Society Foundations, led by George Soros, has as an objective \u201cchallenging Israel\u2019s racist and anti-democratic policies\u201d in international forums, in part by questioning Israel\u2019s reputation as a democracy.<\/p>\n

The documents are available on a website, reportedly backed by Russia, that uses anti-Semitic stereotypes to attack Soros.<\/p>\n

They reveal that Open Society, which was founded and is chaired by the hedge fund billionaire and philanthropist, gave close to $10 million since 2001 to groups advancing the rights of Arab Israelis, with an emphasis in recent years on countering what one document says are Israel\u2019s \u201crestrictive measures\u201d against minorities.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn recent years the radicalization of public opinion and consecutive Israeli right wing governments have resulted in more restrictive measures against Palestinians within Israel,\u201d a Sept. 1, 2015 review of Open Society\u2019s Arab Regional Office\u2019s work said.<\/p>\n

It cites as an example the Jewish Nation State bill, advanced by its sponsors to entrench Israel\u2019s Jewish status, but decried by some Arab Israelis as further marginalizing non-Jewish minorities. The bill has yet to pass.<\/p>\n

Among achievements listed in the Sept. 1 document, the Arab Regional Office includes increased advocacy by \u201cPalestinian citizens of Israel,\u201d or PCI, in international forums, challenging Israel\u2019s \u201cracist\u201d policies in the face of its reputation as a democracy.<\/p>\n

The document advocates the \u201cdevelopment of a more organized and efficient PCI advocacy and presence in international forums (UN, EU, US) especially in light of the increasingly limited domestic avenues available for seeking justice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn shifting to international advocacy, PCI\u2019s [sic] are up against Israel and its image as a democratic state before the international community, therefore Palestinian civil society organizations in Israel feel the pressure of filling this gap by strengthening their relations with international actors and systems such as the European Union and United Nations to put their issue on the international agenda,\u201d it says.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere have been a number of successes in challenging Israel\u2019s racist and anti-democratic policies in the international arena and influencing EU-Israel bilateral negotiations,\u201d the document says.<\/p>\n

The emails were posted in recent weeks by DC Leaks, a group Bloomberg News, in an Aug. 11 report, quoted security experts as saying is likely backed by Russia\u2019s intelligence agencies.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Reactionary Jew tweets: “Soros tries to destroy Israel just as he does to Europe. He is an enemy of nationalist Jews and whites alike.”<\/p>\n

Ari Ben Canaan: “Soros uses his ‘Jewish’ identity only as a mask for justifying pursuit of his true interests: international cosmopolitan bourgeois moralism.”<\/p>\n

Gift of Gravity: “in that case, maybe policing yr own is good idea? Jewish orgs could be denouncing him, but arnt far as I’ve heard.”<\/p>\n
