President Biden’s biggest Democratic donors are also funding some anti-Israel protests that have occupied college campuses, according to the report.
Some anti-Israel student protesters and agitators have chanted “Massacre Joe,” referring to Biden and his administration’s policies. Analysis by Politico Donors who gave to both Biden and these protest groups include George Soros, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, David Rockefeller Jr., and Susan Pritzker, heir to the Hyatt hotel empire. It turns out that Nick Pritzker and his wife are included.
According to Politico, Jewish Voice for Peace and IfNotNow are two of the main groups organizing protests on college campuses across the country, including Columbia University in New York City.
According to the media’s analysis, both groups are supported by the Tides Foundation, which is powered by funding from Soros and the Gates Foundation. It was also revealed that the Rockefeller Brothers Foundation, of which Rockefeller Jr. is on the board of directors, donated $300,000 to the Tides Foundation in 2022.

This is in addition to National Students for Justice in Palestine, a group with nearly 200 independent chapters that has been vocal at Columbia University during recent demonstrations. NJSP has Westchester Peace Action Committee Foundation (WESPAC) as its fiscal sponsor. Fox News Digital previously reported that WESPAC’s funding is little known, but that it has received six-figure donations from nonprofits backed by George Soros.
The protests could disrupt Mr. Biden’s efforts to rally support among young voters in the run-up to the presidential election.

“There should be no place on any campus for anti-Semitism or threats of violence against Jewish students,” Biden said. “There is no place for hate speech or violence of any kind, whether it’s anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, or discrimination against Arab-Americans or Palestinian-Americans. It’s simply wrong. There is no place for speciesism. It’s all wrong and un-American.”
