George Soros Allegations against College Protest Funding: A Deeper Look

Recent allegations suggest that George Soros and his affiliated foundations are behind the funding of radical anti-Israel protests on college campuses across the nation. The claims, amplified by the New York Post, imply that Soros’ financial support is driving the surge in anti-Israel sentiments.

These protests started at Columbia University, spreading rapidly to campuses like Yale, Berkeley, and others. Allegedly, branches of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), funded by Soros, played a key role in organizing the demonstrations.

The U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights, linked to Soros, was accused of employing paid radicals who act as fellows influencing the protest movements. Past and present fellows, including Nidaa Lafi, Craig Birckhead-Morton, and Malak Afaneh, have been prominent figures involved in the rallies.

Financial support from Open Society Foundations, a group connected to Soros, has reportedly been channeled through various organizations like the Tides Foundation and Sparkplug Foundation to groups such as Jewish Voice for Peace and Within Our Lifetime. This financial trail has raised eyebrows regarding the source of funding for these anti-Israel protests.

Despite the claims made by the New York Post and others, Soros and his foundations have a long history of supporting causes related to social justice and human rights advocacy. The allegations of funding these protests have sparked a broader debate on the influence of wealthy donors on campus movements.
