This article delves into the operations of \u2062the Tides Center, \u200ba powerful liberal organization, and sheds light on its controversial funding sources \u200dand\u2063 affiliations.<\/p>\n<p>The Tides Center:<\/p>\n<p>The Tides\u2064 Center, long known for financially supporting the progressive agenda, has amassed significant\u2063 profits in\u200c recent years. Collaborating with influential figures \u200blike George Soros and Bill Gates, this Democrat-allied charity has benefited \u200bfrom <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-wants-to-shrink-tribal-marine-sanctuary-to-accommodate-wind-energy-factory-owned-by-dem-donor\/\" title=\"Biden aims to reduce tribal marine sanctuary for wind energy factory backed by Dem donor.\">taxpayer-funded\u200c grants<\/a> and contracts worth\u200b over $81.2 million\u2064 between 2006 and \u200d2023. Despite possessing assets amounting to hundreds\u200b of millions of\u200c dollars, the Tides\u2064 Center continues to enjoy a major partnership with the federal government.<\/p>\n<p>Supporting Controversial Causes:<\/p>\n<p>The Tides Center&#8217;s funding has \u2062facilitated various\u200d pro-Palestinian projects, including \u200bAdalah Justice Project, Palestine Legal, and the Catalyst\u2063 Project. These\u200d organizations, leveraging the Tides Center&#8217;s\u2062 tax-exempt status, have consistently defended and downplayed the Hamas-led attack on October 7th,\u200d which resulted in the \u200ddeaths of over 1,200 people in Israel. Such actions\u2062 raise \u200bserious concerns about the\u2063 Tides Center&#8217;s associations and priorities.<\/p>\n<p>Links \u200bto Terrorism:<\/p>\n<p>The Tides Center and its sister \u200dorganization, the Tides Foundation, have also contributed millions\u2062 of dollars to organizations that have honored convicted terrorists from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. One such example is the Alliance for Global\u200c Justice, \u200ban Arizona charity found to have connections with Palestinian terrorism. These \u200cfinancial contributions have come under intense scrutiny, considering the inherent dangers \u2062associated with \u2064supporting organizations linked to terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>Extremism on University Campuses:<\/p>\n<p>Notably, organizations funded by the Tides Center\u200c have been\u200d identified on university campuses, \u2062actively promoting \u2064radical \u2062anti-Israel \u2062sentiments. Chanting for the destruction of Israel, these groups have become a focal point of concern for Benjamin \u2063Baird, the \u2063director of Middle\u2063 East Forum \u200dAction, a \u200cterrorism \u2062watchdog\u200b organization. Baird emphasizes that the federal government&#8217;s subsidization \u200bof such extremist groups through the Tides Center only bolsters acts of violence and radicalism.<\/p>\n<p>Manner\u200b of Funding:<\/p>\n<p>Nearly half of the $81.2 million received by the Tides Center came in the form of subcontract or sub grants, indicating that the organization received the money after another entity had initially been awarded the prime award by the federal government. Prime award recipients include entities such \u200das\u2063 the City and \u200cCounty of San Francisco and \u200cthe Michigan\u200d Department of Health and Human Services. This \u2063indirect funding model raises questions about transparency \u200dand accountability.<\/p>\n<p>Conclusion:<\/p>\n<p>The Tides Center&#8217;s reliance on taxpayer-funded grants and\u200c contracts to support anti-Israel \u2062activism throughout the United States raises ethical concerns. The \u2063organization&#8217;s financial connections to figures like\u200d George Soros and its associations with groups defending Hamas-related activities highlight the need for \u200bgreater scrutiny and oversight. It is essential \u200dto ensure \u2063that \u2064funds provided \u200cby the federal government do not inadvertently support extremist ideologies or acts\u200b of violence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Group, funded by undisclosed sources, has been actively financing and promoting anti-Israel demonstrations across America.
