Since at least the Vietnam War, exasperated observers of student protests have rolled their eyes and thought: Get a job. In some cases today, activism is a job. Two of America’s largest philanthropic foundations are behind a group that has paid some of the anti-Israel activists for the kind of antics disrupting campuses across the country.
Consider Malak Afaneh, a law student at the University of California, Berkeley, and Craig Birckhead-Morton, a senior at Yale. Ms. Afaneh went viral this month for disrupting a dinner at Dean Erwin Chemerinsky’s home. This week the Yale Daily News reported that Mr. Birckhead-Morton had been arrested for trespassing—and then re-emerged to address an anti-Israel crowd blocking an intersection in New Haven.
Ms. Afaneh and Mr. Birckhead-Morton have both been “youth fellows” of the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights, whose website identifies them by their first names. As of April 4, the campaign was soliciting applications for a new cohort, whose “campus-based fellows” would receive stipends of $2,880 to $3,360 for three-month terms of roughly eight hours of work a week. That “work” could include aiding campaigns that “demand federal or state politicians cut US military, financial, or diplomatic ties with Israel.”

While some policymakers have wondered whether activists receive money from overseas, it turns out that there’s a clear paper trail of funding at home. That ought to have policy implications. In considering whether to discipline students for rule violations, university administrators might more harshly punish activism done, at least in part, for pay.

Meantime, Congress and the Internal Revenue Service might want to examine whether the grants fit the charitable purposes defined in the tax code.

Many of these "Kill the Joos!" "protestors" are the same that participated as blm / antifa in the "Summer of Love" "fiery, but mostly peaceful racial justice" riots.
These are the foot soldiers of the international communist revolution, working on the "color revolution", here.

Aided and abetted by the feral...err...I mean "federal" gov't, under Pedo Joe.

Yes, but in my non legal opinion, I've no training for that, common sense tells me they are providing material support to a designated terrorist organization. Courts have usuallly interpreted material support as financial, send money to Hamas and go to jail, or training or logistical support. My guess a prosecutor could make the case that organizing support constitutes material support, and parts of this are clearly financial. Of course it's a federal law, so would take a federal prosecutor. Though like President Trump's current trial, a state prosecutor could clearly try to charge what are federal crimes. I don't like that concept. However any state could essentially pass a law copying the federal statute, and prosecute that.
From 18 USC 2339B: Providing material support or resources to designated foreign terrorist organizations
(a) Prohibited Activities.- (1) Unlawful conduct.-Whoever knowingly provides material support or resources to a foreign terrorist organization, or attempts or conspires to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both, and, if the death of any person results, shall be imprisoned for any term of years or for life. To violate this paragraph, a person must have knowledge that the organization is a designated terrorist organization (as defined in subsection (g)(6)), that the organization has engaged or engages in terrorist activity (as defined in section 212(a)(3)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act), or that the organization has engaged or engages in terrorism (as defined in section 140(d)(2) of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1988 and 1989).
