The Golem Named George Soros

When Rudolph Giuliani said he was more Jewish than George Soros the radical left rose up with one voice to accuse Giuliani of maligning a “Holocaust survivor.” 

As it happened, Soros did survive the Holocaust in Hungary. He did by living with a Hungarian Nazi collaborator and accompanying him while he was confiscating Jewish property. Does that make Soros a Nazi collaborator? Not quite. After all, he was a boy at the time. But still, ask yourself what such an experience does to the mind of a child. Does it make him more sympathetic to the Nazis who saved his life or to the Jews he saw being humiliated by the Third Reich? 

For the answer we turn to Daniel Greenfield at Frontpage Magazine (via Maggie’s Farm). Greenfield’s title, “Soros’ War Against the Jews” is clear enough. But what captures our attention, for the purposes of this blog, is the contribution made by a New York psychoanalyst. You see, at some point in time, Soros underwent psychoanalytic psychotherapy for his Jewish problem. Would you call it an indictment of therapy? 

Soros wanted to be treated for the shame he felt by having Jewish blood. This shame, Greenfield suggests, caused him to support anti-Jewish and anti-Israeli causes. As for the effectiveness of whatever form of therapy Soros underwent, we will agree with Greenfield that it failed:

To transcend the secret shame of his Jewish origins, the world’s wealthiest anti-Semite has funded a widespread war against the Jews. Only in a world with no Jews, can Soros finally believe he is god.

“It is a sort of 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 billionaire once quipped.

Instead of curing Soros, therapy made him a megalomaniac, escaping his shame by becoming a god.

But, as the Austrian painter who also decided he was god realized, that requires getting rid of the Jews.

The Soros final solution to anti-Semitism is the familiar Marxist formula of getting rid of anti-Semitism by getting rid of the Jews. When there are no more Jews, then Soros will be cured of his secret shame.

All it will take is another Holocaust.

Therapy made Soros a megalomaniac. Hmmm.

Yes, indeed, the God who commanded: Thou shalt have no other gods before me, offended  Soros, a man who wanted to be a god. To overcome his shame, Soros turned against Jews. As long as there were Jews he was going to be counted among that humiliated group. 

Greenfield explains:

The father had profited from selling forged documents to wealthy Jews and the son had enjoyed being part of confiscating the property of a wealthy Jewish family. Neither father nor son, to whom the God of the bible was a human invention and Jewish kinship was mere “tribalism”, felt any guilt over it.

They had no moral or ethnic allegiances. They were not Jews, either ethnically or religiously.

Indeed, the name Soros was taken to cover up the Jewish origins of the family. Even before the war, Erzebet, Soros’ mother, had wanted to change their name so that her sons would not be stigmatized as Jews. If Tivadar was merely amoral, Erzebet actively despised Jews. "My mother was quite anti-Semitic and ashamed of being Jewish," he told an interviewer. Erzebet had opposed circumcising Paul, George’s brother. Like other members of the Soros clan, Erzebet eventually converted to Christianity. But her son could not believe in either Judaism or Christianity. He had only one faith. In his own godhood.

Like mother, like son… ashamed of being Jewish. But also, like father, like son, no sense of having done anything wrong, of needing to repent, of having collaborated with people who wanted to exterminate Jews. Such is the Soros formula.

Greenfield suggests that therapy seems to have helped Soros to act out his own messianic fantasies. Doesn't this sound like therapy speak?

Or, as Soros put it on another occasion, “I carried some rather potent messianic fantasies with me from childhood which I felt I had to control, otherwise they might get me into trouble. But when I had made my way in the world, I wanted to indulge my fantasies to the extent that I could afford.”

As one of the wealthiest men around, George Soros could afford to indulge them a whole lot. And by becoming his own god, Soros could escape his shame and suppress his sense of inferiority. Gods have no shame, no guilt and no morality. But George wasn’t a god. He was a man hiding from god by playing god. His shameful secret lay in the God and His people whom he had sinned against.

The family’s Jewish origins were Soros’ secret shame. Schwartz, a Jewish family, were dead. They had been replaced by the Soros clan. George, who had once had a Bar Mitzvah, had been reborn a Nazi collaborator. And then, after the excitement of the war, he washed up as just another refugee in the UK.

While other Jews built a great state, the state of Israel, Soros what other Jews had built because it reminded the world that a persecuted people could rise above it. If his therapist had known anything, he would have known that whatever shame Soros or other Jews felt could be expunged by pride in achievement, not by denial.

To Soros, in his twisted mind Jews were to blame for anti-Semitism. Thus, Soros found himself drawn to the Palestinian cause, to people who wanted to destroy what Jews had built:

George Soros hates the Jews of Israel who became neither collaborators nor victims, but fought and won, above all else. The existence of Israel is a shameful reminder of his treachery and cowardice.

“Attitudes toward Israel are influenced by Israel’s policies, and attitudes toward the Jewish community are influenced by the pro-Israel lobby’s success in suppressing divergent views,” he has claimed.

He blamed the "resurgence of anti-Semitism in Europe" on Israel and insisted that, "If we change that direction, then anti-Semitism also will diminish."

In Soros’ twisted mind, Jews are to blame for anti-Semitism.

Soros does not want to be Jewish. He is deeply ashamed of his Jewish roots. He blames Jews for anti-Semitism. And while he avoids Jewish events and organizations, occasionally he makes an exception.

A Hungarian Jewish cultural event with Hungarian dancers, musicians, and traditional foods, lured Soros out to present an award to a writer.  Instead, Soros was booed for a rant in which he compared Israelis to the Nazis in front of an audience of Holocaust survivors.

And, Soros has openly and explicitly defended Palestinian terrorist organizations that have dedicated themselve to the task of continuing the final solution:

While Soros compared Israel to the Nazis, he has defended Islamic terrorists who murder Jews.

"America and Israel must open the door to Hamas," Soros urged in a Financial Times editorial. “Neither Hamas nor Hezbollah can be treated merely as targets in the war on terror because both have deep roots in their societies,” he argued in another editorial. “AIPAC must bear its share of responsibility for aiding and abetting policies such as Israel’s heavy-handed response to Hezbollah last summer and its insistence on treating Hamas only as a terrorist organization,” he ranted in a rambling essay.

So, an amoral man who considers his Jewish origins to be a stigma, has spent his fortune trying to malign Jews and to foment violence against Israel, and, let’s not forget, against America.

After all, this amoral golem is now spending money on elections for local district attorneys. He is trying to help elect officials who will not prosecute crime, as happened when he got noted civil libertarian Larry Krasner elected to the office in Philadelphia. The result: a spike in the local murder rate. In 2019 Philadelphia had more murders than in any year since 2007.
