But what many don&#8217;t know is that these anti-Israel activists are being financially supported\u2064 by an \u2064influential left-wing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-attorney-phil-kline-and-it-expert-j-r-carlson-presser-wednesday-exposing-mark-zuckerbergs-dark-money-cash-for-chaos\/\" title=\"BREAKING: Attorney Phil Kline and IT Expert J.R. Carlson Presser Wednesday Exposing Mark Zuckerberg\u2019s Dark Money Cash for Chaos\">dark money<\/a> nexus. Documents reveal that the Tides Foundation and \u200dTides Center, two deep-pocketed nonprofit organizations with ties to wealthy liberal billionaires \u2063like George Soros and Bill Gates,\u2064 granted over $1 million in 2022 to groups behind these demonstrations.<\/p>\n<p>The cash transfers, which\u200b have not been \u200dpreviously reported, highlight how these \u200cbehemoth charities continue to fund anti-Israel groups, some of which have affiliations with terrorist organizations like Hamas \u200cand the Popular Front for the \u200cLiberation of Palestine. The \u2063protests \u200dhave turned violent in some cases, including one outside the Democratic National\u2062 Committee in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n<h3>A Reckoning \u2063is\u200b Needed<\/h3>\n<p>Jonathan Schanzer, senior research vice \u2063president at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, warns that\u2064 there is a problem with \u2063the ecosystem that allows \u2063these foundations to thrive.\u200d He points out that many progressive causes have embraced pro-Hamas and pro-violent factions, leading to negative consequences on American campuses and in major\u2064 cities.<\/p>\n<p>The\u200d Tides Foundation and Tides Center, which have combined assets of over $1 billion, are part of a larger nexus that has \u2062mobilized billions of dollars\u200c for social \u2064change \u2062since 1976. However, this\u200d nexus has faced scrutiny for facilitating a\u200d dark money pass-through system, allowing wealthy Democrats to \u200ddonate to\u200b initiatives under the Tides umbrella while\u200c obscuring the original sources of funding.<\/p>\n<h3>Questionable Funding Sources<\/h3>\n<p>The newly filed tax forms reveal that the Tides Foundation and Tides Center directed significant \u200bfunds to organizations\u2064 with ties to \u2063Palestinian terrorism. For example, the Alliance for Global\u2062 Justice, which has connections to Palestinian terrorism,\u200b received over $303,000. Legal \u2062experts have accused this organization \u2063of providing &#8220;material support to terrorism&#8221; in violation \u200cof federal law.<\/p>\n<p>Another recipient of Tides funding is\u2064 the WESPAC Foundation, which\u2064 sponsors various anti-Israel\u200d projects. WESPAC\u2064 has campaigned for the\u2063 release of imprisoned PFLP terror leader Ahmad Saadat and houses \u200cthe Palestinian Youth Movement, a group that has celebrated PFLP leaders on\u200b social media. WESPAC also sponsors Students for Justice in \u200bPalestine, a coalition \u2062of pro-Palestinian activists on college campuses that \u2062has supported terrorist organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah.<\/p>\n<h3>Dark Money Fuels Anti-Israel Propaganda<\/h3>\n<p>Code\u200b Pink, a left-wing antiwar\u200c group, received\u200d a $104,000 check from the Tides Foundation in\u200c 2022. Since \u2062the recent conflict between Israel and Hamas, Code Pink has\u2064 been hosting pro-Palestinian\u2062 rallies and downplaying violence against Jews. They even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nbc-news-reporter-suggests-open-records-laws-are-being-abused-to-expose-crt-in-schools\/\" title=\"NBC News Reporter Suggests Open Records Laws Are Being Abused To Expose CRT In Schools\">spread false information<\/a> about Israel bombing a hospital in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>Other anti-Israel \u2063organizations, such \u2062as If Not Now, Jewish \u2062Voices for Peace, and Sunrise Movement, also received funding from the Tides Foundation. These groups have\u200c been actively involved in organizing protests and spreading anti-Israel propaganda.<\/p>\n<h3>Obscuring the Sources of\u2062 Funding<\/h3>\n<p>According to investigative researcher\u200b Parker \u200bThayer, the protests and disruptions funded by the Tides Foundation \u2063are far \u2064from grassroots. They are coordinated from a national organizing hub that aims to obscure the sources \u200cof\u200b funding. This\u2064 raises concerns about\u200c the origins of the propaganda and intimidation targeting Jews in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the Tides Center sent $35,000 to the Florida chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, an organization accused of having \u2064ties to Hamas. Tides Advocacy, another dark \u2063money group affiliated with the Tides nexus, provided $300,000 to Emgage\u200d Action, an organization that claims\u2064 Israel is an\u2062 &#8220;apartheid state.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It is clear \u2064that the Tides Foundation and Tides Center play a significant role in funding and supporting anti-Israel activism\u200b in the United States. The influence of these deep-pocketed organizations raises questions about the\u2063 integrity of the progressive\u200d agenda and \u2062the sources \u2064of funding behind it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How has the funding \u2064provided by Tides influenced anti-Israel sentiment\u200b on American campuses and cities, and what impact has\u2063 it had on peaceful and constructive dialogue?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  \u2063Estine Solidarity Committee, which advocates\u200d for \u2064BDS (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions) against Israel. Tides granted over $180,000 to WESPAC in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>These revelations raise serious questions about the motives and\u2062 transparency of the Tides Foundation and \u2063Tides Center. It is deeply concerning that organizations with ties\u2064 to terrorism are receiving substantial\u200b financial support\u2064 from \u200binfluential entities like Tides. This not \u2062only undermines efforts towards peace and stability in the\u200d Middle East but also calls into question the credibility of these foundations and their commitment to\u200c <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-to-preview-general-election-against-trump-as-fight-for-democracy\/\" title=\"Biden to preview election battle against Trump, fighting for democracy.\">upholding democratic \u200dprinciples<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Influence on American Campuses and Cities<\/h3>\n<p>The funding provided\u200b by Tides has had a tangible impact on American \u200ccampuses and cities. Anti-Israel sentiment has\u2062 been on the rise, with student groups organizing\u2062 BDS campaigns and endorsing radical organizations with ties to terrorism. Protests\u2063 and demonstrations have disrupted campuses \u2063and cities, fostering an environment of hostility towards Israel and \u200dits supporters.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore,\u200b these demonstrations often turn violent, endangering the safety and well-being of innocent bystanders. The fact that these violent protests are being supported\u2064\u200c by influential left-wing \u200corganizations raises serious concerns about \u200ctheir commitment to peaceful and constructive dialogue.<\/p>\n<h3>The Need for Transparency \u2063and Accountability<\/h3>\n<p>It is crucial that organizations like the Tides Foundation and \u2064Tides\u200d Center are held accountable for their funding decisions. Transparency must be prioritized to ensure that dark money is not being funneled towards organizations with questionable\u2062 affiliations \u2064and ties to terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, donors to these foundations should be aware of the recipients of their contributions and the potential consequences of funding anti-Israel groups. The public has a right to know where their money is going and how it is \u2062being used, especially when it involves such sensitive and contentious issues as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.<\/p>\n<p>A reckoning is needed to address\u2062 the issue \u2064of left-wing \u200bdark money fueling anti-Israel activist hubs in the United States. It is imperative that we promote open dialogue, peace, \u200band understanding, rather than funding organizations \u200bwith \u200bties to terrorism and fostering violence. By demanding transparency and accountability, we can work towards a \u2063more constructive \u2062and inclusive future.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anti-Israel activists in the United States, who are organizing protests in support of Hamas after their recent attack on Israel, are being financially supported by a left-wing dark money network.
