In his 1995 book, “Soros on Soros,” the Hungarian-American financier declared that Zionism “doesn't appeal” to him because it is “the founding of a nation [Israel] where the Jews are in the majority.” For Soros, "being a Jew [is] being in a minority." He also asserted moral equivalence between the Jews’ response to attacks and that of their attackers, saying that sometimes Jews choose to "identify with their oppressors" and even "try to become like them."
In 2003, at a Yivo Institute for Jewish Research event, Soros blamed the rise of anti-Israel and anti-Jewish hatred in Europe on the George W. Bush administration's war on Islamic terrorism and "likened the behavior of Israel [in defending itself against Arab terrorist attacks] to that of the Nazis, invoking some psychological jargon about victims becoming victimizers." He was booed, and many walked out of the event.
