Pro-Palestinian protesters are backed by a surprising source: Biden’s biggest donors

President Joe Biden has been dogged for months by pro-Palestinian protesters calling him “Genocide Joe” — but some of the groups behind the demonstrations receive financial backing from philanthropists pushing hard for his reelection.

The donors include some of the biggest names in Democratic circles: Soros, Rockefeller and Pritzker, according to a POLITICO analysis.

Two of the organizers supporting the protests at Columbia University and on other campuses are Jewish Voice for Peace and IfNotNow. Both are supported by the Tides Foundation, which is seeded by Democratic megadonor George Soros and was previously supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. It in turn supports numerous small nonprofits that work for social change.

Soros declined to comment. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has previously funded the Tides Foundation and other groups, said it no longer has active grants to Tides. It also does not support Jewish Voice for Peace or IfNotNow.

Another notable Democratic donor whose philanthropy has helped fund the protest movement is David Rockefeller Jr., who sits on the board of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. In 2022, the fund gave $300,000 to the Tides Foundation; according to nonprofit tax forms, Tides has given nearly $500,000 over the past five years to Jewish Voice for Peace, which explicitly describes itself as anti-Zionist.

Several other groups involved in pro-Palestinian protests are backed by a foundation funded by Susan and Nick Pritzker, heir to the Hyatt Hotel empire — and supporters of Biden and numerous Democratic campaigns, including $6,600 to the Biden Victory Fund a few months ago and more than $300,000 during the 2020 campaign.

The trail of donations shows a series of blurred lines when it comes to liberal causes and Democratic politics.

Of course. And the public wants this to all stop and go away, just like the chaos of Antifa and BLM in 2020.

It will only go away if you re-elect Biden and vote in a Democrat congress.

Otherwise the punishment will continue.

It worked in 2020, right?

The Tides Foundation is one of best funded and older foundations that grew up to support the Soviet Union and underwrite subversive activities in the 1970s.

Like all of these progressive foundations it's sources of funding are pretty murky but much of it's wealth comes from wealthy Marxists who donate as a tax shelter to fund their far left projects.

Anti-Semitism is an active part of the political agenda of the Biden supporters and partisans. The secular atheistic Jew has always been a large part of this anti-Semitism, a continuing act of rebellion against what were considered a too-authoritarian interpretation of the books of the Torah.

It would be easy enough to shrug off this acting out and incipient violence as mere childish disobedience, but it is much more. This is an existential struggle to finally defeat, for all time, the restrictions on pure hedonism and wholly self-absorbed behavior. If this means the cultural obliteration of all that constitutes the religious expression of Judaism and its intellectual descendent, Christianity, then this is the path that will be followed. The invocation of “support” for Hamas, and the Islamic expression of Jihad, are but temporary allies in this drive for the complete secularization of the world, and the branding of humanity as a controlled herd for the aggrandization of the few. Command-and-control becomes the normal state of mankind.

So what is this like the protester bullpen? Getting them organized and worked up so they will already be in place for a false flag event? Then they can turn them on Trump and the Republicans?

Aleksandr Dugin really isn’t “Putin’s brain” as he’s made out to be. He’s a Russian philosopher.

If you listen to him he hits on a lot of the points you do.

(He also was an anti-communist dissident in the USSR)

Who, who was surprised by this? Turmoil in the US benefits the CCP — BeijingBiden’s sponsors and handlers. So, of course $$ will blow in that manner.

Are the same pinheads also surprised that the Pres is a pedo? Really? After his daughter detailed his perversion and abuse while she was a child?

With the protestors chanting "Go back to Poland", "Death to America" and "Death to Israel" these are more racist anti-Semitic demonstrations than pro anything. It is particularly galling that they have the nerve to pull down the US flag while many of them are foreign guests visiting the States.

It’s not a surprise at all.

It’s expected from anyone who is paying attention.

I’m not surprised at all. But I am glad to see it documented.
