Influence Peddling? Over 200 US Universities Received Billions in ‘Undocumented Contributions from Foreign Governments’: Report
The Shocking Anti-Semitism on Elite College Campuses: Revealing the Hidden Agenda
Since the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel on Oct. 7, a disturbing wave of anti-Semitism has been exposed on elite college campuses. This revelation has opened people’s eyes to the dangerous influence being exerted on impressionable minds in these so-called bastions of learning.
Just two days after the Hamas attacks, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas called out student organizations at Harvard University for blaming Israel for the massacre. In a powerful statement, he questioned what was wrong with Harvard and condemned the 31 student groups who chose to support terrorists over standing with Israel.
What the hell is wrong with Harvard?
Given the choice between standing with Israel or supporting terrorists who are raping, kidnapping & killing thousands of women & children…31 student groups choose the terrorists.
Their blazing hatred & antisemitism utterly blinding. https://t.co/86kvynyIFs

But what is really happening at Harvard and other colleges? A new report titled “The Corruption of the American Mind: How Concealed Foreign Funding of U.S. Higher Education Predicts Erosion of Democratic Values and Antisemitic Incidents on Campus” may provide some answers.
Released by the Network Contagion Research Institute, the report exposes the covert flow of funds from countries like Qatar, Saudi Arabia, China, and the United Arab Emirates into more than 200 U.S. universities. These “undocumented contributions from foreign governments” amount to a staggering $13 billion between 2014 and 2019.
Notably, a significant portion of these donations comes from authoritarian regimes, raising concerns about their motivations and the impact on democratic values. Leading the list of universities receiving these funds are Carnegie Mellon University, Cornell University, Harvard, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Qatar, the largest contributor, has provided $2.7 billion, which raises questions about the connection between this financial support and the lavish lifestyles of top Hamas leaders who reside in Qatar.

The NCRI report reveals that these massive donations were not properly recorded with the U.S. Department of Education, raising suspicions about the hidden strings attached to them.
It is alarming to consider the implications of foreign influence on academic freedom, open inquiry, and free expression. Are American universities compromising our country’s values for financial gain?
Furthermore, the report suggests a broader concern about the contamination of the “American” mind by globalist ideologies that promote anti-American, anti-Christian, and anti-capitalist beliefs.

The report also reveals a concerning link between these foreign contributions and the rise of anti-Semitism on college campuses. It highlights the presence of radical organizations and faculty members who promote anti-Israel propaganda and engage in discriminatory behavior towards Jewish students.
One example cited in the report is Cornell University, where a faculty member openly supported the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel. This faculty member, who receives funding from Qatar, has been accused of creating a hostile environment for Jewish students.
Similarly, at Harvard, student organizations have been found to spread anti-Semitic rhetoric and blame Israel for every conflict in the Middle East. These organizations, some of which receive foreign funding, contribute to an atmosphere of hostility and intolerance towards Jewish students.
It is important to note that this is not a problem exclusive to Harvard or Cornell but is rather widespread across many elite college campuses. The flow of foreign funds and the influence exerted by these donors have the potential to undermine academic freedom and democratic values.
Furthermore, the report highlights the need for increased transparency in the acceptance of foreign donations. Many universities fail to disclose the sources of their funding, creating a lack of accountability and susceptibility to hidden agendas.
To address this issue, it is crucial for universities to establish clear guidelines for accepting foreign funds, ensuring that donations align with the institution’s values and do not compromise academic integrity. Additionally, universities must prioritize the protection and support of Jewish students, creating a safe and inclusive environment free from discrimination.
The anti-Semitism exposed on elite college campuses is a wake-up call for society. It is a reminder that even in institutions of higher learning, prejudices and hidden agendas can find a breeding ground. It is our collective responsibility to address this issue, safeguard democratic values, and ensure a truly inclusive education for all.
Only through awareness, transparency, and proactive measures can we combat the shocking anti-Semitism that continues to plague our educational institutions.
