So now that Soros supporters, including the ADL, have established a standard that criticizing a Jewish billionaire is inherently anti-Semitic, we should expect that same standard to apply to another Jewish billionaire who is active in political funding. We should expect a Jewish billionaire who donates to Republican or conservative causes to be treated exactly the same as Soros. Let’s see if this is true. There is a man who fits that description. His name is Sheldon Adelson.
Sheldon Adelson was born in 1933 to Jewish Ukrainian immigrants and is the CEO and chairman of Las Vegas Sands, which owns and operates casinos, hotels and convention centers throughout the world. Adelson’s net worth is approximately $36.3 billion. (Soros, after having donated approximately $32 billion to OSF since 1984, has a net worth of a paltry $8.3 billion.) Adelson is a major donor to the Republican Party but also funds a variety of Jewish and pro-Israel causes as well as organizations involved in healthcare.

The Adelson Family Foundation donates approximately $200 million annually to support charitable organizations in the U.S. and Israel relating to Holocaust and anti-Semitism awareness, Israel advocacy and Jewish education. Adelson made the largest donation ever, $25 million, to Yad Vashem, Israel’s official Holocaust Memorial, and he also donated $25 million to Birthright Israel, an organization that sponsors free trips to Israel for Jewish teens and young adults. Adelson funds the Maccabi Task Force, which combats anti-Semitism on university campuses across the U.S. He and his wife, Miriam, founded the Adelson Education Campus in Las Vegas, which is an independent private Jewish school for preschoolers thru grade 12 that seeks to nurture the students to become “intelligent, compassionate, pro-active young adults” based on the “Adelson Values – Academic Excellence, Respect for All, Community of Kindness, Understanding Differences, and Honoring Judaism.”
The Adelsons also established the Adelson Medical Research Foundation, which provides grants for research into life-threatening illnesses. They also founded the Adelson Clinic for Drug Abuse Treatment and Research in Las Vegas and Tel Aviv. This clinic provides treatment and counseling for people suffering from drug addiction. In addition, the Adelsons have funded Jewish organizations that provide assistance to senior citizens, provide specialized care for individuals with multiple sclerosis and ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease), and provide educational opportunities for children with special needs.
Here are some of the headlines about Adelson that have appeared in the national media:
The Guardian, June 8, 2018
“Sheldon Adelson: the casino mogul driving Trump’s Middle East policy.”
“The Las Vegas billionaire gave the Republicans $82M for the 2016 elections and his views, notably staunch support for Netanyahu’s Israel, are now the official US line.”
The New York Times, May 21, 2018
“Meet the Members of the ‘Shadow National Security Council.’ advising John Bolton.”
In this article, Adelson was included in Bolton’s alleged “shadow N.S.C.”
McClatchy Washington Bureau, May 14, 2018
“Mega-donor Adelson, with access and influence, scores two pro- Israel victories.”
The Huffington Post, December 15, 2016
“Tonight’s GOP Debate: Sheldon Adelson’s Malignant Tentacles.”
Columnist Richard North Patterson wrote, “Adelson means not only to pick the party’s nominee, but also to dictate his thoughts.”
Patterson also wrote that the 2010 Supreme Court decision, Citizen’s United, “empowers Adelson to demand obeisance from would-be presidents desperate for his largess.”
“More than anyone else, it is Adelson – not voters, candidates, or experts on the Middle East – who dictates what Republicans dare to think and say about our relationship to Israel, the Palestinians on the West Bank, and the complex government of Iran.”
Patterson quotes New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman as saying “Adelson personifies everything that is poisoning our democracy … today – swaggering oligarchs, using huge sums of money trying to bend each system to their will.”
