Some Of Biden's Biggest Backers Are Funding Anti-Israel Protests Rocking Universities

Some of President Joe Biden’s most prominent backers are funding pro-
Palestinian and pro-Hamas demonstrators who are protesting U.S. support 
for Israel.

Activist groups such as Jewish Voice for Peace and IfNotNow are in part 
funded through nonprofit networks involving leftist megadonors such as 
George Soros, Bill and Melinda Gates, David Rockefeller Jr., and the 
Pritzker family, according to POLITICO.

Jewish Voice for Peace and IfNotNow, responsible for organizing 
protests at universities such as Columbia, are both supported by the 
Tides Foundation, which is funded by Soros and Gates. Tides also 
receives money from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, directed by a board 
that includes David Rockefeller Jr. Nick Pritzker, a wealthy 
entrepreneur and heir to the Hyatt Hotel empire, and his wife Susan are 
also donors to Tides.

Tides has given more than half a million dollars to Jewish Voice for 
Peace over the past five years, according to POLITICO. The foundation 
claims Jewish Voice for Peace and IfNotNow as “grantee partners.”

The Pritzkers also founded the Libra Foundation, which has financially 
supported groups such as The Climate Justice Alliance, Black Organizing 
for Leadership and Dignity, and the Immigrant Defense Project, all of 
which have expressed opposition to Israel’s actions following Hamas’ 
October 7 terror attack. The Climate Justice Alliance has organized 
marches calling Biden “Genocide Joe” over U.S. support for Israel.

Protests have roiled university campuses in recent weeks, resulting in 
hundreds of arrests after demonstrators took over campus buildings and 
blocked students from attending classes. Of the roughly 300 people 
arrested at Columbia University last week, New York City Democratic 
Mayor Eric Adams said that many of them were outside agitators, not 
students attending the university.

Outside activist groups trained university students for months on civil 
unrest, according to The Wall Street Journal. One of the groups 
involved in training students, the Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity 
Network, has expressed open support for Hamas. The Columbia University 
administration banned the group from campus twice, accusing it of 
supporting terrorism.

The protests have canceled classes, shut down campuses, and endangered 
Jewish students. Last week, a Jewish student was denied entry to an 
anti-Israel protest at MIT, but police eventually agreed to escort him 
through the encampment.

The unrest over the Israel-Hamas conflict is part of a push from 
Biden’s left flank to cut off U.S. support for Israel. Biden appears to 
have made overtures to leftists, investing hundreds of millions of 
taxpayer dollars into building a pier to facilitate aid into Gaza and 
increasing pressure on Israel to provide assistance, as well.

The campus unrest has sparked a backlash from more moderate Democrats. 
Biden spoke from the White House last week condemning violence and 
illegality on university campuses. The president condemned 
“Islamophobia” alongside antisemitism during his remarks.

“There should be no place on any campus, no place in America for 
antisemitism or threats of violence against Jewish students. There is 
no place for hate speech or violence of any kind, whether it’s 
antisemitism, Islamophobia, or discrimination against Arab Americans or 
Palestinian Americans,” Biden said.
