Soros family wires thousands to top anti-Israel Democrat Pramila Jayapal’s PAC

Democratic megadonor George Soros and his son Alex Soros poured $10,000 combined late last year into anti-Israel “Squad” Rep. Pramila Jayapal’s (D-WA) leadership PAC, records show.

The Soroses cut checks totaling $5,000 each on Dec. 1, 2023, to Build Our Movement, a PAC affiliated with Jayapal that counts its treasurer as Lauren Lalonde, campaign manager for the congresswoman, according to year-end 2023 Federal Election Commission filings released Wednesday evening.

News of the cash transfers come after Jayapal faced heightened scrutiny from lawmakers for her antagonistic rhetoric about Israel on the heels of Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist factions killing more than 1,200 people in Israel on Oct. 7 last year. The lawmaker attempted in July to walk back her prior decision to call Israel a “racist state,” which had led to more than 40 House Democrats denouncing Jayapal’s comments as “unacceptable.”

“Israel remains the only vibrant, progressive, and inclusive democracy in the region,” the House Democrats wrote in their statement at the time. “Arab parties serve in the Knesset, women serve at the highest levels of the military, and the country remains an oasis for LGBTQ+ people in a region hostile toward the community. Pluralism flourishes in Israel.”

“We are deeply concerned about Representative Pramila Jayapal’s unacceptable comments regarding our historic, democratic ally Israel, and we appreciate her retraction,” the statement read.

In June, Jayapal’s campaign also received $6,600 each from George Soros and Alex Soros, the Washington Examiner reported.

George Soros, a billionaire who is one of the most influential liberal donors in the United States, has long supported political campaigns and nonprofit organizations seeking to delegitimate the Jewish state of Israel. Liberals often equate Republicans slamming the influence of George Soros to “antisemitism” since the megadonor is Jewish.

The Soros-funded Foundation to Promote Open Society has given more than $2 million in recent years to Al-Haq, an Israeli-designated terrorist group, the Washington Examiner reported.

Al-Haq participates in anti-Israel activism with the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, another Israeli-designated terrorist group. In turn, Samidoun is a project of Alliance for Global Justice, a charity in Arizona funded by Soros that shares close ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a U.S.-designated terrorist organization.
