Soros, Wesley Clark and Israel
As previously noted on AT, hedge fund billionaire George Soros, who has become the single largest source of financing for the Democratic Party and allied 527 Groups, has recently made his single largest financial political committment of the year to Wesley Clark.
Last week, Clark delivered a broadside against US support for Israel in its battle with Hezbollah. Soros is also purportedly involved in financing a group that will lobby to change US Policy on Israel. After these efforts were brought to light, members of this group waved off allegations that the group is geared towards pressuring Israel. The truth? Time will tell.
