Defending Glenn Beck
Glenn Beck deserved to be defended by the Jewish community from Day One when he was attacked by 400 reform rabbis for criticizing George Soros of all people. But after three segments this past week in which Beck gave powerful support to the Jews of Itamar, he is even more worthy of the Jewish community's support. Some of that support was forthcoming in this comment. Although one can possibly understand Soros’s behavior in Nazi-occupied, Jew-hunting Budapest, Soros himself has described those years as “the most exciting time of my life.”[i] He has also reported that, “The early stages of the Russian occupation were as exciting and interesting-in many ways even more interesting and adventurous-than the German occupation…”[ii] Can anyone imagine Elie Wiesel, a genuine Holocaust survivor, uttering such sentiments? One might also ask why 400 rabbis would offer even an implicit defense of Soros against Glenn Beck’s attack, given Soros’s lifelong hostility to Israel and his publicly stated disdain for the Jewish religion. A multi-billionaire financier, during one period, 1994 to 2000, Soros contributed no less than $2.4 billion to, among others, institutions and causes in China, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, the Czech Republic, and the Republic of Georgia. At the same time, his attitude toward the State of Israel has been consistently negative. He told New Yorker writer, Connie Bruck, “'I don't deny the Jews their right to a national existence -- but I don't want to be part of it." [iii] Clearly, Glenn Beck, Roger Ailes, and Rupert Murdoch, publisher of the Wall Street Journal, have given more support to Israel than Soros. Moreover, Soros recently accused Israel of being “the main stumbling block” to American attempts to foster Egypt’s “public demand for dignity and democracy” which he suggested was embodied in the partnership of Mohamad El-Baradei and the newly moderate Muslim Brotherhood.[iv].As between Glenn Beck and the 'jew' George Soros, which do you think is more likely to sell out the Jewish community? The answer should be obvious.
Any Orthodox Jew who has worked in the wider world knows that often the gentiles are more understanding toward the needs of an Orthodox Jew in the workplace than are non-observant Jews.
As between Glenn Beck and George Soros, I'd rather be trapped alone with Glenn Beck any day.

Well, he also said that for Reform Judaism, just like radicalized Islam, "it is not about religion, it is about politics." This is very unfair. For guys like the Reform Action Council it is about the politics gleaned from the New York Times editorial pages with a little cellophane wrapping about "tikkun olam" or the "ethics of our fathers" or whatever. For the Islamists, sadly, even when discussing their politics, it is no longer about their "politics" but their bedrock religious convictions about Islam vs. the unbelievers, or the perfidy of the Jews, or the road to the Mahdi etc.
