Who can even imagine such a thing? A court in Switzerland, still considered in mainstream circles a "civilized" nation, has ordered the detention of famed Israeli philanthropist Beny Steinmetz. This is the most odious attack yet in this most recent wave of anti-semitism that has been rolling over Europe.
Beny has given so many hundreds of millions to charity, (primarily his Agnes and Beny Steinmetz Foundation) that a mere 50 to 80 millions remain in his personal accounts. The authorities have not specified whether those sums are in shekels, USD, or British Pounds.
To say nothing of his mentoring role in the careers of so many freedom fighters and social justice warriors. Beny was the juice behind Bill Browder's civilizing mission to Russia back in the '90s. Likewise, he helped springboard Dan Gertler's ambitions to bring light unto the deepest darkest heart of the Dark Continent.
Such a man, who has done so much for so many, they want to eliminate in Switzerland. To silence him for five years. Well, not "silence" silence; he's still got Twitter, but you know what I mean. And not only that, but also pluck clean his remaining accounts, just to rub salt in the wounds.
I will be arranging a GoFundMe account to assist in Beny's defence. You can fight anti-Semitism in Switzerland and help out a great philanthropist in his time of need.
Details coming soon.
