#US / Child of Famed Jewish Family Funded Pro-Palestinian Protests
A significant amount of funding for anti-war activist groups involved in recent campus protests in the U.S. has come from the #BafrayungFund, controlled by Rachel Gelman, a 33-year-old from a prominent Jewish-American family.
The most revealing aspect of this story is the involvement of the Israeli-funded 'Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy.' Insisting that criticism of Israel's policies equates to antisemitism is a flawed tactic that will inevitably backfire. Labeling anti-war protests as merely "pro-Palestinian" or "anti-Israel" is a pathetic tool to dismiss their motivations, especially in light of the #ICJ and #ICC findings.
