Billionaire far-left kingpin George Soros has funneled more than $15 million since 2016 to the groups behind this month’s pro-Palestine protests, where protesters openly applauded. Cowardly terrorist attacks by Hamas militants in Israel.
A further examination of Open Society FoundationRecords show that Soros’ grant network gave $13.7 million of the money through the Tides Center, a deep-pocketed left-wing group that sponsors several nonprofits that have justified the bloody attacks by Hamas while claiming that Palestinians obsessed with the eradication of the Jewish state are the real victims.
Tides beneficiaries include the Illinois-based Adalah Justice Project, which on the day of the Oct. 7 massacre posted a photo on Instagram of a bulldozer that demolished part of Israel’s border fence and a caption: “Israeli settlers believed they could indefinitely trap two million people in an open-air prison…no cage is unchallenged” .
Members of the Palestinian advocacy group occupied the office of California Representative Ro Khanna on October 20 to demand that he sign a resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. Adalah members also co-sponsored a rally that same day in Bryant Park where hostile protesters spewed anti-Semitic chants and waved a sign reading “I DO NOT CONDEMN HAMAS.”
He also gave $30,000 in 2020 to Desis Rising Up and Moving, another co-sponsor of the Bryant Park protest where 139 people were arrested, according to financial records.
Open Society Foundations donated $60,000 in 2018 to the Arab American Association of New York, a group co-founded by politically connected activist Linda Sarsour who helped plan a hate-filled “Flood Brooklyn for Palestine” protest in Bay Ridge on October 21, where The protesters called for the eradication of Israel and carried an Israeli flag sign in a trash can that said “Please keep the world clean!”
Open Society Foundations also awarded $1.5 million to Adalah’s founding nonprofit, Adalah – The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel, but only $800,000 was received before the legal center cut ties with the American organization in 2018. The legal center says its mission. is to promote human rights in Israel.
Other Soros-backed Palestinian advocacy groups whose members have stirred hate at demonstrations since the massacre include Jewish Voice for Peace and If Not Now, which received $650,000 and $400,000, respectively.
Both co-sponsored the Bryant Park rally, and their members were among the protesters who converged on the US Capitol complex on October 18.
The Jewish Voice for Peace also helped occupy Khanna’s office and has blamed Israel for the October 7 attacks. writing on its website: “Israeli apartheid and occupation, and America’s complicity in that oppression, are the source of all this violence.”
Dan Schneider, vice president of the conservative watchdog group Media Research Center, said Soros, a Hungarian-born Jew and Holocaust survivor who loyal lieutenants have gained unparalleled access to President Biden’s White House – has long history of fighting against Israel and supporting groups that defend terrorists.
“George Soros and his son Alex they have a long history of supporting the most radical organizations on the planet, and that includes pro-Hamas organizations that support the most heinous kind of behavior,” said Schneider, who recently co-authored a letter with founder and president of MRC, Brent Bozell, demanding Soros stop funding groups that have recently spewed pro-Hamas rhetoric.
“We have asked George Soros to withdraw this funding, but he seems very determined to continue supporting anti-Semitic organizations that want to overturn Western civilization,” he said.
Former city councilman David Greenfield, a Brooklyn Democrat who now heads the Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty, said “the world has changed” since the Oct. 7 massacre, so the group de Soros must decide whether he will be “on the side that goes”. to liberate Palestinians or from the side that wants to eliminate the Jews”.
