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

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

Some of the most outspoken groups against Biden and Israel get funding from foundations attached to some of the biggest names in Democratic circles.
www.yahoo.com

This was not a surprise to me. In the election is will be this big money against the working people of America.

Calling them pro-Palestinian isn't correct.
It's not a matter of politics.
Crying out against murder, famine, homelessness inflicted on the civilians is inhumane and unconscionable--no matter who the perpetrator is.
The victims are children of God.
Similarly, Biden and his donors are not anti-Israel.
They are anti the way this war us waged--which has been condemned by the entire world.

Hmm. Looks liek the "Guv'ment" got to Yahoo! Do you have another source for this article?



EDIT: So, I did some googlizing and it appears that this "article" is just a tweet from one guy: "Prince Handly." I have no idea who that is. He references Politico, but politico doesn't have an article on their site about this. Maybe they tweeted something? IDK. Can't find it. Are we sure this isn't just something manufactured by the right? I mean, anytime I see someone scream "SoRos!!!11" with spittle and froth coming out of their mouths I am immediately skeptical.

EDIT2: Ok, found it. Here is the politico article:


So, after reading the article I have to wonder. Do people think that these "megadonors" are walking around these campuses handing out cash to the protestors? Someone forms an organization like Jewish Voices for Peace, ask for donations to help organize rallies, protests, and other activities. These donors' foundations read their mission statements and what they say they are fighting for and donate money to the causes they agree with and want to promote. In this case, speaking out against what is seen as atrocities being committed by an ally in the middle-east. Doesn't really seem all that nefarious. Or surprising.

Hey, I'd like to end big donors and dark money in politics, but John Roberts was too busy declaring "money = speech" and gutting the voting rights act and campaign finance laws.

Would you join in my crusade against dark money, big donors, super PACs and the other abominations of modern money in politics?

Advocating for an end to Gazan children being forced into starvation is the death of America.

What a fascinating timeline you live in!

It’s the ol’ “if someone is funding speech that I do not agree with, then they’re out to destroy everything that I love about my country!” populism that has/continues to seep into our body politc.

Throwing out the rule of law is not a minor item. This two-tiered justice system needs to be stopped. The leftist utopia is a myth.

The “rule of law” is a political philosophy that stipulates that adhering to principles are more important to a thriving political-society than are the personages that inhabit that political-society.

If we tout “free speech” then we have to tolerate speech which is offensive.

The pro-Hamas mobs who have defied police orders and violated U.S. law should be arrested like anyone else in a similar situation.

Did any of them violate "US" law. Certainly some campus regulations, city ordinances, and even state laws were violated by the encamped protesters, but what federal law did the violate?

Threatening the life of a Jew is not a joke. It is a serious hate crime. We had this same situation when Joe Biden advocated to stop the busing of black children to white schools. The president ordered in federal troops.

They should leave when directed by the police - then they have nothing to worry about.

Threatening anyone’s life is a crime. (“all lives matter”), whether it’s a “Hate crime” depends on why the life was threatened.

Oh goodness, a position he took 49 years ago is out of fashion?

In 1975, Biden supported an amendment offered by North Carolina Republican Senator Jesse Helms that would have made busing much more difficult in all jurisdictions by prohibiting the Department of Health, Education and Welfare from collecting information needed to identify segregated school systems.
