Glenn Beck is criticizing George Soros. Some are accusing Beck of antisemitism in these criticisms. I'm not qualified to judge; I did not see the Beck program criticizing George Soros.
I did just watch the youtube video, linked below. I don't know who produced this video.
I do judge the video, below, as antisemitic. Soros' Judaism is invoked. Why? What does the fact that he has Jewish ancestry to do with Beck's criticisms? Images of Jews are shown in accompaniment to ominous music. The "puppet master" metaphor echoes slanders against Jews, including the Protocols.
I'm not saying Glenn Beck is antisemitic. I'm not saying Fox is antisemitic. I'm saying this film clip is antisemitic, intentionally or accidentally. I'm not attributing intention. I'm judging the images on the screen.
I'd like to hear from others their thoughts on this.

Bieganski the Blog exists to further explore the themes of the book Bieganski the Brute Polak Stereotype, Its Role in Polish-Jewish Relations and American Popular Culture.
These themes include the false and damaging stereotype of Poles as brutes who are uniquely hateful and responsible for atrocity, and this stereotype's use in distorting WW II history and all accounts of atrocity.
