Several big-name Democratic donors, including George Soros, the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, and David Rockefeller Jr., have been funding anti-Israel protesters on college campuses. Organizations such as Jewish Voice for Peace and IfNotNow are behind these protests, with support from the Tides Foundation. The Tides Foundation has received funding from donors such as Soros and the Gates foundation, distributing money to left-wing causes. The Rockefeller Fund also donated to the Tides Foundation, which then supported Jewish Voice for Peace, a far-left, anti-Zionist organization.
Pro-Palestinian protesters receiving funding from Democratic donors have disrupted events attended by President Biden and other Democratic leaders, protesting US involvement in Israel’s conflict with Hamas. Despite being disruptive at these events, the protesters claim they are exercising their right to peaceful protest. The Pritzkers, also Democratic donors, are backing groups involved in these pro-Palestinian demonstrations. Questions have been raised about the significant grants given to organizations like Jewish Voice for Peace, which have attributed attacks on Israel to the US rather than Hamas.
President Biden has spoken out against antisemitism and violent protests, emphasizing that while peaceful protest is protected, violent actions such as destroying property, trespassing, and intimidating individuals are not. He stressed that the US is a civil society where order must prevail, and actions that incite fear or harm are against the law. Left-wing dark money groups funded by Soros have provided bail and legal support for anti-Israel activists who were arrested for disruptive actions, including blocking major roads and highways nationwide. The President voiced his support for peaceful protest but condemned any violent or law-breaking behavior.
Democrats have been criticized for their support of anti-Israel protesters, with questions raised about the funding sources and motivations behind these demonstrations. The involvement of major Democratic donors in funding protests against Israel has raised concerns among Democratic party members. However, those behind the protests have continued to voice their opposition to American involvement in the Israel-Hamas conflict, even going as far as disrupting President Biden’s speeches to make their voices heard. Despite differing views on the issue, the right to peaceful protest remains protected in the US.
The involvement of high-profile Democratic donors in funding anti-Israel protests has sparked backlash and criticism, with many questioning the sources of funding for these demonstrations. The protesters have been vocal in their opposition to US support for Israel and have staged disruptive actions to draw attention to their cause. President Biden has condemned violent protests and emphasized the importance of peaceful demonstrations in American society. The issue of funding for anti-Israel protests remains contentious, with conflicting views on the appropriateness of such support from Democratic donors. The protests have continued to attract attention and controversy on college campuses and at political events.
