American President Joe Biden, just a few months before the presidential elections in the USA, is not only facing radicalized students and activists who have occupied the buildings of many of the most prestigious universities in the country and are spreading rhetoric against Israel, American foreign policy or anti-Semitic statements from them, but also the complex “cracking” of their supporters .
The server Politico writes in its analysis that the pro-Palestinian protesters won surprising support on their side, who are the biggest donors to the Biden campaign. “Some of the most vocal anti-Biden and anti-Israel groups are funded by foundations tied to the biggest names in Democratic circles,” warns the server.
While the anti-Israel protesters are hurling derogatory terms at the US president, including the nickname “Genocide Joe”, they are receiving money from the largest donors of the Democratic Party, including well-known names, such as Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, financier George Soros and David Rockefeller Jr.

Politico writes that two of the main organizers of the protests at Columbia University and other campuses — Jewish Voice for Peace and IfNotNow — are supported by the Tides Foundation, which is funded by Democratic megadonor George Soros as well as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
“Another major Democratic donor whose philanthropy helped fund the protest movement is David Rockefeller Jr., who sits on the board of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. In 2022, this fund donated $300,000 to the Tides Foundation,” the server continues, adding that the Rockefeller Foundation has donated nearly $500,000 over the past five years to the organization Jewish Voice for Peace, which explicitly identifies itself as anti-Zionist.
Several other groups involved in the pro-Palestinian protests are supported by a foundation funded by Susan and Nick Pritzker, heirs to the Hyatt hotel empire, who are also supporters of Biden and many Democratic campaigns, according to the analysis. For example, The Climate Justice Alliance, an organization supported by them, was supposed to participate in pro-Palestinian marches in which the phrase “Genocide Joe” was used, referring to the current US president.

The funds flowing to both sides are causing a lot of criticism even among the supporters of the Democrats, who are increasingly annoyed by the situation as the protesters, occupying American universities, increasingly turn to shouting anti-Semitic statements and harsher rhetoric. “Why does (the Rockefeller Foundation) give significant grants to Jewish Voice for Peace, which blames Israel and the United States for the horrific attacks on October 7, and not Hamas?” asks Elisha Wiesel, for example, who chairs the Elie Wiesel Foundation and is one of the supporters democrats.
He alludes to the fact that the money of the richest Americans supports organizations that do not see the terrorist Hamas, but instead, after the massacre of October 7 last year, states that “the source of all violence is Israeli apartheid and occupation – and the complicity of the United States in this oppression.”
While Biden declares that “destruction of property is not peaceful protest” and rails against the manner of the demonstrations, his most influential supporters continue to send money to those the US president already publicly opposes.

However, according to the US president, the protests have long since crossed the legal limit. “Vandalism, trespassing, breaking windows, closing campuses, forcing the cancellation of classes and graduations, none of this is peaceful protest,” he warned.
What exactly is the Biden administration going to do now, facing off against protesters connected to the money pipelines of powerful donors to the US Democratic Party, is according to the American newspaper The Washington Post the question is not an easy one, since the split within the Democrats mainly benefits the Republicans, who see in the protracted resolution of the protests ammunition for their campaign, in which they can connect the Democrats before the election with the chaotic scenes that are taking place all over the United States.
TV Fox News is taking notice, that security measures are also being prepared during this year’s Democratic National Convention, which will be held in Chicago this summer. Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker noted that — while anti-Israel protests continue to rage on college campuses across the country despite police crackdowns — he doesn’t think the situation is particularly heated. “I don’t think it’s going to be better or worse this summer,” he says.

Blade The New York Post addsthat some wealthy Americans are even personally involved in the protests against Israel and the foreign policy of the Joe Biden administration, and brought the news that one of the arrested “violent” protesters at the anti-Israel protest at Columbia University was, according to the New York police, the privileged heir to a multi-million dollar advertising empire, James Carlson .
One of the heirs to the fortune of high-profile advertising executive Richard Tarlow, best known for his work for cosmetics and fashion clients including Revlon, Ralph Lauren and Neutrogena, was said to be “one of the most brutal ringleaders” of the Columbia University riots, according to a senior police source. .
