George Soros and his hard-left acolytes are paying agitators who are fueling the explosion of radical anti-Israel protests at colleges across the country.
The protests, which began when students took over Columbia University’s Morningside Heights campus lawn last week, have mushroomed nationwide.
Copycat tent cities have been set up at colleges including Harvard, Yale, Berkeley in California, the Ohio State University and Emory in Georgia — all of them organized by branches of the Soros-funded Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) — and at some, students have clashed with police.
The SJP parent organization has been funded by a network of nonprofits ultimately funded by, among others, Soros, the billionaire left-wing investor.
At three colleges, the protests are being encouraged by paid radicals who are “fellows” of a Soros-funded group called the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR).
USCPR provides up to $7,800 for its community-based fellows and between $2,880 and $3,660 for its campus-based “fellows” in return for spending eight hours a week organizing “campaigns led by Palestinian organizations.”
They are trained to “rise up, to revolution.”
The radical group received at least $300,000 from Soros’ Open Society Foundations since 2017 and also took in $355,000 from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund since 2019.
It has three “fellows” who have been major figures in the nationwide protest movement.
Nidaa Lafi, a former president of the University of Texas Students for Justice in Palestine, was seen at an encampment at UT Dallas Wednesday making a speech demanding an end to the war in Gaza.
Lafi, a former legislative intern for the late Democratic Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson, graduated from the school last year with a degree in global business and is now a law student at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.
In January, she was detained for blocking the route of President Biden’s motorcade after he arrived in Dallas for the funeral of Johnson, her former boss.
At Yale, USCPR’s fellow Craig Birckhead-Morton was arrested Monday and charged with first-degree trespassing when SJP’s branch, Yalies4Palestine, occupied the school’s Beinecke Plaza, the Yale Daily News reported.
Birckhead-Morton — also a former intern for a Democrat, Maryland rep John Sarbanes — emerged from custody to address a sit-in blocking traffic in New Haven.
The most high-profile of the fellows is Berkeley’s Malak Afaneh, co-president of the Berkeley Law Students for Justice in Palestine.
She has been a serial speaker at an anti-Israel protest on the campus this week — which came after she first shot to prominence by hijacking a dinner at the law school dean’s home to shout anti-Israel slogans, then accused the dean’s wife of assaulting her when she asked the radical to leave.
The cash from Soros and his acolytes has been critical to the Columbia protests that set off the national copycat demonstrations.
Three groups set up the tent city on Columbia’s lawn last Wednesday: Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) and Within Our Lifetime.
At the “Gaza Solidarity Encampment,” students sleep in tents apparently ordered from Amazon and enjoy delivery pizza, coffee from Dunkin’, free sandwiches worth $12.50 from Pret a Manger, organic tortilla chips and $10 rotisserie chickens.
An analysis by The Post shows that all three got cash from groups linked to Soros. The Rockefeller Brothers Fund also gave cash to JVP.
The fund is chaired by Joseph Pierson, and includes David Rockefeller Jr, a fourth-generation member of the oil dynasty, on its board of directors. The non-profit gives money to “sustainable development” and “peace-building.”
And a former Wall Street banker, Felice Gelman, a retired investment banker who has dedicated her Wall Street fortune to pro-Palestinian causes, funded all three groups.
Cant be George he is a jew this is anti-semetic. Unless we do a dna test and see if there is any semetic connection or one of those jews we are warned about in Revelation 3:9 (there are many of those)
Well, this is the same Jew that helped the Nazis ship his countrymen off to the extermination camps. Typical of who would align themselves with Democrats.
There is another one in Ukraine persecuting Christians and sending them into a meat grinder, faster than Holdomor but same results dead Christians.
Except that once his father explained to him what was going on, he warned the people not to comply and then quit the job.
Its way past time to return Soros to his Nation of he came from and had him hanged for his WW II War Crimes
I wonder if Democrats will figure out that scumbag Soros cares more about destroying America than he does supporting Democrats and, in fact, he only supports Democrats because that contributed to the destruction of America?
Nah… I doubt it. They only care about the money in their pockets.
You guys are always saying that Soros wants to “destroy America.” Why would he want to do that?
Who knows maybe the Nazis losing the war, he worked in their ranks, he was involved in Black Wednesday in the UK, an ally that assisted in defeating the nazis.
Perhaps all this anti semite stuff can be resolved with a DNA test to see if ol George is a semite or a Revelations Jew.
Maybe he is just so rich its just a hobby for him.
Because he is a socialist. Because he profits when he destroys currencies and economies. Because he’s a racist scumbag. YOU guys claim, without any shred of evidence, that Trump wants to be a dictator and start killing people. WHY would he want to do that? Everything he has done has been GREAT for the country.
First, he said that he would be a dictator on day of of his second term.
Second, his lawyers are arguing in court that assassinating one of his political enemies could reasonably fall under the umbrella of “just doing his job” if he becomes President again.
Your stupidity and misrepresentation of the truth shows why idiots like you should never be allowed to teach impressionable children.
But… how else could anyone be a Democrat?
Stupidity and misrepresentation of the truth is percolating thru our society. See:
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/04/according_to_an_lgbtq_minister_jesus_believed_he_was_a_hen.html
This is a grown man who has no understanding of what a metaphor is.
He also is a “minister” who had no Bible knowledge about Jesus who “only spoke to the his enemies in parables.”
Think he’s alone?
Look how easily misled these “anti-Israel” protesters are.
As an exercise, I would like for you to find that quote and post it here. That way I would KNOW you saw it. Second, no, that is NOT what his attorneys are arguing, that is what YOU are arguing. Funny how that accusation only applies to Obama and Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden.
Now, don’t forget to come back with that actual quote.
They love to use partial quotes and hyperbole them into their own conspiracy theory.
Share the exonerating part of the quote.
You want a totalitarian, groomer? What about the guy who threatened to stop federal aid to schools all across the nation if those schools refused to teach their alphabet mafia bullshit?
I’m not familiar with anything called “alphabet mafia bullshit.” If you want to make yourself understood, you might try using the real words for whatever you’re referring to.
What do you care about stopping Federal aid to schools? Don’t you believe that the Department of Education should be eradicated?
Get one of your students to teach you how to use a search engine. You are truly one of the most uninformed dumasses to ever show up at this blog.
Why are people responsible for paying taxes that funds schools they can’t afford to send their own kids to. But then, that may be a blessing considering the institutions of “higher” learning are turning out idiots like you and those supporting terrorists.
It should have never been created. Chalk it up to another of Jimmie Carter’s mistakes. I also think the Teacher’s Union needs to be dissolved and Randi Weingarten needs to be in jail.
So schools not getting Federal funding is A-okay with you. Don’t complain about it.
I’m not interested in doing homework you assign. If you want to be understood, use normal words. If you don’t want to be understood, don’t piss and moan about not being understood.
Lo his highness must be spoonfed. Unable to feed himself.
How has Federal control of education improved education?
Yes it is good that schools get no bribes from DC to put forth edicts of insanity.

The context is no more reassuring.
Please remember that he had four years to “close the border” or “lock it down” or “secure” it, or whatever description your prefer, and he didn’t do it. What makes you believe he’d do it this time?
And Demented Joe Biden has done so much better, right?
I’ve never said that he “secured” the border, the way you guys insist Trump did.
Who are the “you guys” you refer to, groomer?
Never admit you were wrong, Mikey keep up the stiff upper lip.
Gawd how many times did your mom scream at you you’re just like your father, that you never really knew? Poor, poor thing.
Actually, he did. He did a magnificent job on the border, even as Democrats went into Mexico and organized massive caravans of illegal immigrants to try and storm the border. You really have no actual concept of truth, do you?
True, that.
Imagine 3 dirty mexican banditos
Context we dont need no stinking context.
No doubt that’s why he teaches CRT and The 1619 Project. Not having complete and factual information is essential to a leftist. Without it, they can’t be a leftist.
soros is a dirtbag. soros collaborated with Nazi’s to hunt Jews and steal their wealth for money. soros in evil incarnate.
His Kid has teamed up with Huma Hillarys Huma why those with a bit of power need either china doll or a muslim handler. She is 10 years older and really not a beauty so I dont think they are dating. Barry had Valarie who had her own secret service assigned. It would be interesting if one could FOIA coms between Huma as SOS and Val as president.
Might be in Weiners Laptop or the missing servers., maybe why Assange is still in prison, did Seth stumble on to something weirder than Pizza-gate?
Chris Plante used to say of hillary and huma, their date night was a jar of peanut butter, a spoon and a vcr.
But, I have often wondered how huma could stay in the good graces of muslimism having married a Jew, birthed a child ostensibly of mixed religion and now allegedly in a relationship with another Jew.
Must be the same reason that Mitch and Fartwell are still allowed in the SCIF.
He should be given the same fate as Nicolae Ceaușescu.
What, specifically, did 13-year-old George Soros do to collaborate with the Nazis, hunt Jews, and steal their wealth? That all appears to be made up by you guys.
Soos is a WW II War Criminal who should be on the Public Enemy #1 him and his rotten son
“a WW II War Criminal”
So you people keep saying. What I’ve read is about a little kid in a Nazi-occupied country who briefly did a job he didn’t understand, until he had it explained to him, at which point he stopped. What have you heard?
He didn’t understand wearing a Nazi uniform, the pogroms, the persecution, the prejudices?
You know, if you kept yourself ignorant of the history of Nazi-collaborator Soros and have a sudden interest in his past, why don’t you just f**king look it up?
Either they don’t give a shit if we know this is all a coordinated effort to destroy the nation or they aren’t smart enough to know this is a give-away.
Because buying bulk got George Soros and the Qutar oil princes 10% off and free shipping?
Trump’s tools blocked aid to Israel and Ukraine for six months, killed the bipartisan border control compromise, and attempted to kill FISA 702, which permits surveillance of non-US citizens outside of the United States to gather intelligence.
You’re worried about matching tents.
Keep walking through life with eyes wide shut. Agitators showing up at campuses setting up identical tents and having pre-printed protest signs to hand out to the gullible. Then police state tactics used on the students to get them to disperse. Same chants, kids going to the protest campuses to “support” what their idiot professors have drilled into their poor naive heads. Some coming from other colleges with zero information just a latest cause.
Keep your cause with killing goats you know just as much.
No, Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden blocked it by refusing, despite the crime, deaths, drugs, guns diseases and economic impact, to secure the border he opened wide open, killed it.

Nut job leftie who promotes killing zionists and white people.
Of course he’s a gender-confused mental patient. THOSE are the security threats.
Columbia U just did what I suggested days ago.
According to the NYPost, now students and faculty with photo IDs are the only ones who can access food on campus.
https://nypost.com/2024/04/30/us-news/columbia-students-denied-access-to-dining-halls-food-as-pro-terror-rioters-force-campus-lock-down/
The protesters are complaining, naturally.
This means someone has to go out and bring back food at higher prices (non-gov’t subsidized, and taxed.)
Hope this spreads.
That will put a dent in professional aggitators bottom line, they may actually have to live in those cheapo tents.
The terrorist supporters supporters are hoisting food to them with milk crates tied to ropes. Only problem: these Columbia University students can’t figure out how to get a pizza box to fit into a milk crate. Oh, the suffering and hardships these courageous freedom fighters are enduring!!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKk mousies
Not seen since Michael Jackson was Alive!
https://www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2024/04/30/protesters-occupying-hamilton-hall-will-face-expulsion-university-spokesperson-says/
Sorry, not sorry. Sucks to be them.
Yeah, we’ll see. First, they can only expel students. How many of them are students? I see arrests, but what about charges? SERIOUS charges. These terrorist supporters were not ushered in by police like many of the January 6th protesters were. They broke in and have done substantial damage inside. My guess is very FEW serious charges and NO enhancements or employment of 18 US Code section 1512 to stretch sentences.
Catch the leaders the money behind the ideology, these are infantile children of parents with money they never had to work for a thing in their lives, this is but a temper tantrum for them, it is subversion and sedition from the financier.
They make demands expecting the college to negotiate and give them their spoiled brat way. Yes they need a good spanking but not to ruin their future.
Ever notice how we are never discussing anything like this on the right? It’s always leftists.
NYPD getting ready to move in on Columbia Hamilton Hall. Will anyone learn the lesson that there is no benefit to letting this fascist shit fester and get worse? From top to bottom, this is another crisis created completely by Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden.
This is the universities fault treating the students as children with crayons and cry rooms not adults suck it up butter cup you will soon join the real world and be expected to contribute to someone bottom line.
Well, they are about to get a lesson in Reality 101.
We shall see, depends on race.
Oh, there will be no prosecutions. Does anyone expect a Soros-puppet to prosecute Soros useful idiots? Democrats fully endorse political violence.
