> I don't understand what you're so skeptical about. What is the standard of evidence for antisemitism you're seeking? I suppose a good counter example would be liberal jewish billionaires being attacked despite not contributing to liberal philanthropic endeavors. Or non-jewish liberal billionaire philanthropists NOT being attacked despite contributing on the same scale as George Soros. I'm just saying that the "George Soros is only being targeted because he's jewish" argument is a shitty cop out.

> I'm just saying that the "George Soros is only being targeted because he's jewish" argument is a shitty cop out. You are moving the goalposts. You first asked why only Soros was being targeted and not other liberal, Jewish billionaires. That was proven false (Bloomberg, Steyer also targeted) and now you are trying out a new line of reasoning that is just as thin.

  > You are moving the goalposts. You first asked why only Soros was being targeted and not other liberal, Jewish billionaires. How I am moving the goalposts? The initial comment I replied to was "There's a reason why George Soros is singled out among liberal billionaires by certain right wing groups, and it certainly isn't evidence.", which I think I correctly interpreted as claiming that Soros was only being targeted for being jewish. > That was proven false (Bloomberg, Steyer also targeted) I've never heard of this Steyer guy, I know Bloomberg and I'm not aware that he's banned from Hungary, or that he has a dedicated wikipedia page to "Bloomberg conspiracy theories", so I don't think he can be remotely compared to Soros. So yeah I don't know what you're talking about, honestly.

    Here's your quote I responded to: "why George Soros and not other liberal jewish billionaires, who no doubt exist?" Evidence was provided to prove that other liberal Jewish billionaires have, in fact, been targeted. > I've never heard of this Steyer guy, I know Bloomberg and I'm not aware that he's banned from Hungary, or that he has a dedicated wikipedia page to "Bloomberg conspiracy theories", so I don't think he can be remotely compared to Soros. This is more goalpost moving. Nobody claimed they were targeted more than Soros or that you knew who they were. None of that changes the fact that they are liberal, Jewish billionaires who have been targeted. This is the criteria you created.
