POSTED ON MAY 5, 2024 BY JOHN HINDERAKER IN LEFTISM, LIBERALS, PROTESTS WHO IS PAYING FOR THE PROTESTS? [UPDATED] The anti-Semitic and anti-American protests that have engulfed college campuses are among the most disgraceful events of our recent history. A lot of people want to know, who is paying for, supporting and coordinating these outrages? Politico has been looking into that question: Most of the liberals referred to in Politico’s story refused to comment, but the Tides Foundation is out and proud: Why are so many of America’s richest people viciously anti-Semitic and anti-American? That is probably one for the psychiatrist’s couch. UPDATE: Here’s one more: add Goldman Sachs, a notoriously left-wing operation, to the list. MORE: Here is another one–Lina Khan, Chairwoman of the Federal Trade Commission. To be fair, though, she is an “intellectual” supporter of anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism, not a financial supporter. A sample: It is hard to overstate how evil these people are. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2024/05/who-is-paying-for-the-protests.php

“Despite the sanctions, Iranian oil exports have continued to surge, funding Iran's October 7 war on Israel -- in addition to more than 150 attacks on US troops in the Middle East by Iran's militias and proxies. The US administration, it appears, has actually been funding Iran to attack Israel and itself. In addition, Iran continues sending weapons to Russia, to help it crush Ukraine.” https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/20613/iran-us-sanctions

Hamas is saying that if Israel surrenders, they will release the dead and pregnant hostages and resume planning their next October 7th style attack. Israelis aren’t stupid.

HR I think.

In a meeting.

Pretty accurate. Keep in mind that nearly half the arrested had no connection to the schools. There is an element of the protesters who are not working for America’s interest.

Where’s the AI going to get its electricity? Not many of the humanities degrees handed out over the last 20+ years are worth spit. They don’t lack for arrogance, however.

Obsidian carving knives.

There’ll be times and places that computers won’t work.

“Basic Humanitarian Aid” when they really mean “catered protesting.”

Citizen Free Press @CitizenFreePres Stanford University submits photo of Democrat wearing Hamas headband to FBI. 'Hamas is designated a terrorist organization by the United States government. We have not been able to identify the individual but have forwarded the photo to the FBI.'

You could have just made your admission in your first post.

Despicable. Lacking the aptitude to create, they destroy.

It’s with some exasperation and incredulity that I announce Oklahoma has seen fit to pass a law making it illegal for illegals to be here illegally.

Groups behind Israel-bashing protests backing Hamas attacks got $15M-plus from Soros https://nypost.com/2023/10/28/metro/soros-funneled-15-m-plus-to-groups-rallying-for-hamas/

What is odd is your insistence on making assurances of which you have no evidence to substantiate.

The experience may, however, not be enduring.

Is it mandatory to report every donation to charity?

You can’t change the spots on a Marxist.

They’d find someone else to go after.

Personal experience is an enduring method for learning, but can be untimely.
