Left-wing billionaire George Soros is bankrolling the political arm of the Sunrise Movement, a far-left group engulfed in an anti-Semitism controversy after its Washington, D.C., chapter said it will no longer hold rallies with Jewish organizations.
Sunrise DC was widely condemned last week after it released a statement on "Future coalition spaces with Zionist organizations." The group said it will not appear at a rally for Washington, D.C., statehood because other left-wing groups in attendance, such as the National Council of Jewish Women and the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, support Israel's existence as a nation.
Soros and his allies have raised the alarm about anti-Semitic attacks against the billionaire, but his decision to bankroll a group purveying an anti-Semitic trope-and his silence in the face of it-raises questions about his sincerity.
"This is an unacceptable statement from Glenn Youngkin." Luria did not respond to a request for comment on Soros and the Sunrise Movement.
Sunrise isn't the only anti-Semitic group Soros is known to give money to that has promulgated anti-Semitic tropes.
Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean and director of global social action at the Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Jewish organization formed to combat anti-Semitism, said Soros should cease his funding of the Sunrise Movement and other anti-Semitic organizations.
The Sunrise Movement's national chapter eventually called the decision by Sunrise DC "Anti-Semitic and unacceptable." On Sunday, Sunrise DC apologized for its decision, although it reiterated that it "Stand[s] against Zionism."
