But it is well known that Soros backs "progressives" and has been targeting district attorney and judicial races in recent years. Gascon was heavily backed by Soros. It's literally no different than the complaining the left did about the Koch brothers for years. Ascribing a dislike for Soros and his politics to antisemitism is no different than doing so for any criticism of the Israeli government.
This is why I say the theories are "rooted" in anti-Semitism. I know not everyone intends that angle with it, but the basis of them, the origin, is rooted in that and is what really propagated the theories. Also, I am not saying that disliking Soros or his politics is anti-Semitic, I am saying that the conspiracy theories are rooted in it. There is a difference there. If you have evidence of someone like Soros or Koch backing someone or something, then point it out. But just throwing around the conspiratorial stuff is not good.
