"Low information protestors" are a perfect foil for these groups' financing activities.
Recent revelations about the financial contributions of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund to organizations like IfNotNow and Jewish Voice for Peace have sparked debate about the nature of pro-Palestinian protests on U.S. college campuses.
Over the past five years, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund has donated significant sums — $100,000 to IfNotNow and nearly $500,000 to Jewish Voice for Peace. These organizations openly advocate for the cessation of U.S. support for what they describe as Israel’s "Apartheid" system.
Financial Support and Its Implications
The funding from such an established philanthropic entity raises questions about the grassroots nature of these student-led movements. Critics argue that the significant financial backing suggests these protests might not be as organic as they appear. The support from a major fund could be seen as bolstering the operational capabilities of these organizations, enabling more structured and widespread campus activities than might otherwise be possible.
The Educational Gap
There is also skepticism regarding the depth of understanding and commitment of the protestors themselves. Some critics speculate that many participants in these protests might lack basic geographical knowledge about Israel, perhaps not even being able to find Israel on a map. This critique points to a potentially superficial engagement with the complex issues at stake, possibly fueled by the organizational momentum provided by external funding rather than a deep personal conviction or understanding of the historical and political context.
The Role of Philanthropic Funding in Activism
The involvement of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund highlights a broader issue of how philanthropic funding influences activism. On one hand, such funding can empower voices that might otherwise struggle to be heard, amplifying important perspectives on international issues like human rights.

I’d bank on this
Shadow financiers my ass. FBI knows exactly who these people are.
I would whoever is funding this tried for treason and hanged. This stuff HAS to stop.
Muslim Brotherhood and Qatar are the financial backers.
HAMAS is a terrorist organization, supporting in an manner HAMAS is participating in terrorism, paying people to support HAMAS is supporting terrorism. Isn’t it illegal to finance and materially support a terrorist organization?
They are, no doubt, involved in coordinating the “protests”.
Maybe we should freeze their bank accounts...
follow the money, they need to be hit with RICO charges!
Soros’ reputation has been that of a highly intelligent and analytical investor
But I sometimes wonder if he also isn’t a deep-state agent of some kind - for example, he is given advanced intel of pending government decisions (devaluation of British Pound or Thai Baht, for example) with the understanding that some of the money skimmed from the market would go to funding groups, movements and organizations that the “deep state” couldn’t publicly fund, along with general corruption and payoffs.
Moreover, for such a long-time, controversial political actor across the globe, Soros is surprisingly protected from government prosecution, arrest, asset seizure, etc...
People accuse Russian, Ukraine, Turkish, etc... oligarchs of doing the same, and we accept it as a fact of life in such corrupt countries.
Are London and NY markets somehow immune?
Or, maybe its a mixture of both - intelligent investing, AND high-level help in some instances.
Just a thought.....
Training Hitler’s youths rerun.
I think more like Red Guards.
Your theory sounds very plausible.
HISTORY - 1400 years / 800 MILLION innocent people murdered!
And now we're flooding them into our country and even putting them into our government!
Can American citizens be more stupid or are we trying to destroy ourselves ???
That first Muslim president Obama said he "had a plan for America" .... and it was not for our good!
It’s obvious those little idiots who are shouting and holding signs on campuses around the USA are paid to do so. It’s coordinated, the protestors are equipped, and the only way to get that set up so fast it to pay each person to show up.
BLM was all paid for as well. All major lefty movements are paid for.
Yes
The DNC runs them all.
