Former President Donald Trump spoke to reporters outside the Manhattan courtroom where he’s currently on trial for alleged hush-money payments. Trump highlighted a Politico report that mentions anti-Israel protesters on campuses across the U.S. are backed by President Biden’s donors.
“It also came out that many of the protesters are backed by Biden’s donors. Are you listening, Israel? I hope you’re listening, Israel. Hope you’re getting smart. They’re backed by Biden donors — that’s where the money is coming from,” Trump told reporters.

From Politico:
President Joe Biden has been dogged for months by pro-Palestinian protesters calling him “Genocide Joe” — but some of the groups behind the demonstrations receive financial backing from philanthropists pushing hard for his reelection.
The donors include some of the biggest names in Democratic circles: Soros, Rockefeller and Pritzker, according to a POLITICO analysis.
Two of the organizers supporting the protests at Columbia University and on other campuses are Jewish Voice for Peace and IfNotNow. Both are supported by the Tides Foundation, which is seeded by Democratic megadonor George Soros and was previously supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. It in turn supports numerous small nonprofits that work for social change.

This is why Joe Biden has refused to condemn these antisemitic mobs.
