New reports have revealed that George Soros, a Jewish philanthropist known for his left-leaning views, and organizations funded by him, are allegedly supporting nationwide pro-Palestinian protests on American college campuses.

The protests, which initially began at Columbia University, have now spread to universities and colleges across more than eight states.

These demonstrations, known as ‘Liberated Zones,’ have emerged on various campuses, including Columbia, Harvard, Yale, Berkeley in California, the Ohio State University, and Emory in Georgia. They are said to be organized by branches of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), a group funded by George Soros, as reported by The New York Post.

The SJP has received funding from a network of nonprofit organizations that, in turn, have received funding from Soros, a billionaire famously known for his involvement in the Bank of England’s destabilization.

According to The New York Post, demonstrations at three universities have been driven by paid activists who are affiliated with an organization funded by Soros called the ‘US Campaign for Palestinian Rights’ (USCPR).

However, The Washington Times published an analysis that attempts to argue against this claim. The analysis, titled ‘The dishonest—and ironic—push to blame campus protests on George Soros,’ argues that the connection between the protests and funding from Soros’s Open Society Foundations (OSF) is weak and contrived. It suggests that the allegations rely on vague insinuations, leveraging familiar rhetoric and pre-existing biases against the Jewish billionaire.

During the Gaza Solidarity Encampment at Columbia University, protesting students were observed using tents seemingly purchased from Amazon, receiving pizza deliveries, drinking coffee from Dunkin’, and enjoying complimentary sandwiches from Pret a Manger worth $12.50. The report by The New York Post also highlighted three fellows who have been leading the protests on American campuses.

Nidaa Lafi, former president of the University of Texas Students for Justice in Palestine, led protests at UT Dallas, where she called for an end to the conflict in Gaza. Lafi, who had been detained previously for blocking President Biden’s motorcade, was mentioned in the report.

Craig Birckhead-Morton, a fellow of Yale’s USCPR, was arrested for first-degree trespassing when his group, Yalies4Palestine, occupied the campus lawns, according to the Yale Daily News.

The report also mentioned that USCPR provides approximately $7,800 to its community-based fellows and $2,880 to $3,660 to its campus-based fellows in exchange for eight hours of weekly organizing for “campaigns led by Palestinian organizations.”

The report from The New York Post stated that these fellows are trained to rise up and bring about revolution.

Since 2017, SJP has received at least $300,000 from Soros’s Open Society Foundations, as reported by DailyMail. Additionally, it has received $355,000 from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund since 2019, according to The New York Post.

Malak Afaneh, co-president of Berkeley Law Students for Justice in Palestine, addressed several anti-Israel protests on the Berkeley campus.

The New York Post claimed that all three individuals mentioned in the report were paid by groups connected to Soros.

In response to allegations about their funding, Students for Justice in Palestine said to The Washington Post, “We refuse to engage with baseless claims regarding our funding in the middle of a genocide funded, militarily supported, and politically backed by the United States.”
