Yes, many use George Soros as an anti-semitic bogeyman. My impression is many also use it in the same way others use the Kochs and Adelson. It's more rich-donor-meddling-in-politics hatred than specifically Jew-hatred. Barring clear evidence of the former, assume the latter.

That’s what I thought. In that case, I disagree. In far right circles, Soros is the evil Jewish financier caricature, and post-2016 it’d be naive to deny they influence the mainstream right info sphere. Much criticism of Soros is not anti-Semitic, but the larger Soros thing is.

In far right circles, yes. But like I said: I want evidence, not just guilt by connect the dots.

Guilt for whom? And of what?
-
For those in the mainstream. Of anti-Semitism.

As I wrote, much of the criticism against Soros isn’t anti-Semitic. But I think you’re underestimating the degree to which the mainstream criticism in practice, if not intention, draws upon and reifies the far right caricature.
