Deep dives
Concerns Over Funding and Donor Influence in Anti-Israel Protests
Several major donors to President Biden also support groups involved in anti-Israel protests, raising concerns about funding sources and donor connections. Nonprofits linked to Bill Gates, George Soros, The Rockefeller's, and Pritzker's have ties to protest support. The Tides Foundation, funded by prominent left-leaning donors, funnels money to protest groups like Jewish Voice for Peace, which has made controversial statements blaming Israel for violence. The overlap of donors between the protest groups and Biden supporters suggests a complex relationship between funders and political activism.
NYC Council Funding Anti-Israel Organizations
New York City Council allocated $2.7 million to anti-Israel groups, with a significant portion going to the Muslim Community Network for protester safety training. Funding from the council, which also supports the NYPD, raises questions about awareness and oversight of the recipients' activities. The involvement of council members in financing groups critical of Israel while maintaining city security links shows a complex dynamic of indirect support for controversial activism.
