In recent weeks, a wave of anti-Israel protests has swept across college campuses in the United States, with students occupying university lawns and clashing with authorities. Now, an investigation has revealed that these demonstrations, organized by the Soros-funded Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), have been fueled by paid radicals associated with the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR).

USCPR, which received at least $300,000 from Soros' Open Society Foundations and $355,000 from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, funds community-based and campus-based "fellows" who spend hours each week organizing campaigns for Palestinian organizations. These paid radicals, trained to incite and promote revolution, have become key figures in the nationwide protest movement.

At the University of Texas (UT) Dallas, former UT Students for Justice in Palestine President Nidaa Lafi, now a law student at Southern Methodist University, was seen making a speech demanding an end to the war in Gaza. Similarly, at Yale, Craig Birckhead-Morton, a USCPR fellow and former intern for Maryland representative John Sarbanes, was arrested for trespassing during an occupation organized by Yalies4Palestine.

Berkeley Law Students for Justice in Palestine's co-president, Malak Afaneh, has emerged as one of the most prominent USCPR fellows, frequently speaking at anti-Israel protests. Afaneh gained attention previously by disrupting a dinner at the law school dean's home and accusing the dean's wife of assault when asked to leave.

The protests at Columbia University, which served as a catalyst for the nationwide demonstrations, were organized by SJP, Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), and Within Our Lifetime, all of which received funding from Soros-related groups. JVP, for example, received $650,000 from Open Society between 2017 and 2022.

The funds provided by Soros and other acolytes have played a critical role in financing these protests. The money has been channeled through a network of nonprofits, including the Tides Foundation, that obscure the true sources of support. A Jewish Voice for Peace, advised by prominent figures like Noam Chomsky and Naomi Klein, is one of the beneficiaries of Open Society funding.

In addition to Open Society's contributions, Soros has donated $132,000 to the Westchester People's Action Coalition Foundation (WESPAC), which has been a major contributor to anti-Israel groups like Students for Justice in Palestine. Within Our Lifetime, founded by Nerdeen Kiswani, has also received support from WESPAC. However, the exact amounts are unknown due to loopholes in reporting requirements.

After The Post published its investigation, the Open Society Foundations defended its funding, stating that it supports efforts for peaceful resolution and opposes racism and hate. The organization emphasized its commitment to open debate and peaceful protests as essential for achieving peace in the region.

The revelation of Soros-linked funding behind the nationwide anti-Israel protests has sparked concerns about the role of outside influences in shaping campus activism and the potential impact on free speech and dialogue on college campuses. As the demonstrations continue, further scrutiny is likely to be directed towards the funding sources and motivations behind these movements.
