Columbia protests... Follow the money.
In recent weeks, #usa #universities have experienced significant unrest marked by violent protests, intimidation of Jewish students, and general lawlessness. #university administrations have often responded weakly, leading to an escalation in protester tactics, including property destruction, physical violence, and building takeovers. Chants supporting Hamas and other groups have been common.
These protests have shown signs of strong organization and funding. Groups like Jewish Voice for Peace, supported by prominent figures like George Soros and David Rockefeller Jr., have been heavily involved. Other contributors include the Kaphan Foundation, Schwab Charitable Fund, and Fidelity Investments. Some protests have also been funded by the Pritzker family, although they may be unaware of the specifics of their donations.
There is also evidence of substantial financial influence from Qatar in American universities, promoting certain ideological agendas. President Biden has condemned the violence, noting the protests are harming his political standing, especially with younger voters. The ongoing nature of these protests could pose further challenges as the election approaches.
