The protests started at Columbia University and have now spread to other campuses such as Harvard, Yale, Berkeley, Ohio State University, and Emory.

These demonstrations are organized by groups such as Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) to clash with law enforcement.

SJP, backed by Soros-linked organizations, has been pivotal in organizing these protests. Paid radicals associated with the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR), funded by Soros’ Open Society Foundations and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, are reportedly encouraging protests at several colleges.

Former leaders of SJP chapters, like Nidaa Lafi at the University of Texas, and USCPR fellows, including Craig Birckhead-Morton at Yale, have been actively organizing and participating in these protests. At Berkeley, Malak Afaneh, a Soros-funded fellow, has been a prominent figure in anti-Israel demonstrations.

Cash from Soros and his allies has been crucial in funding these protests, with tent cities sprouting up on campuses like Columbia, supported by groups like SJP, Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), and Within Our Lifetime.

Analysis reveals financial ties between these groups and Soros-linked entities like the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.

Since 2017, the radical group has received a minimum of $300,000 from Soros’ Open Society Foundations and an additional $355,000 from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund since 2019.

These substantial financial contributions underscore the significant backing of influential sources to support their agenda.

SJP and JVP, expelled from Columbia University, have blamed Israel for violence in the region. Soros’ funding, channelled through a network of non-profits, has reached these student groups, aiding their activities.

Soros’ contributions to Open Society Foundations, which then support groups like the Tides Foundation, have indirectly funded organizations like JVP. Similarly, donations to WESPAC, facilitated by Soros and Gelman, have benefited anti-Israeli groups like Within Our Lifetime and SJP.

Despite requests for comment, none of these groups have responded, leaving questions about the extent of their financial backing unanswered.

The influence of Soros and his associates extends beyond financial support, with connections to influential figures like Alexander Soros, son of George Soros, who controls Open Society Foundations. Felice Gelman, a retired Wall Street banker, has also dedicated her fortune to pro-Palestinian causes, further amplifying their impact.

Soros’ donations to organizations like A Jewish Voice for Peace have facilitated their involvement in protests, with prominent figures like Noam Chomsky and Naomi Klein advising them. JVP’s active participation in events at Columbia University, including inviting leaders of proscribed terrorist groups, has raised concerns about their agenda.

Furthermore, Soros’ donations to WESPAC, a New York-based non-profit, have fueled its support for anti-Israeli groups like Within Our Lifetime and SJP. Gelman’s involvement with WESPAC and connections to the Jenin Freedom Theatre underscore the depth of support for the Palestinian cause within certain circles.

Despite criticism of their actions and affiliations, Soros and his allies continue to provide financial and organizational backing to groups advocating for Palestinian rights. The ongoing protests on college campuses highlight the complex interplay between activism, funding, and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

At three colleges, protests are spurred on by paid radicals affiliated with the USCPR, a group funded by George Soros. Serving as “fellows,” these individuals receive financial compensation ranging from $2,880 to $7,800, depending on their campus or community-based roles.
