Multiple leaders of the anti-Israel protests at college campuses across the nation have been revealed to be paid fellows of George Soros-connected groups.

Three of the major figures in the pro-Palestine encampments in universities are fellows at the Soros-funded US Campaign for Palestinian Rights, the New York Post reports.

USCPR 'community-based' fellows are paid up to $7,800 for their labor, while 'campus-based' fellows are given between $2,880 and $3,660 for spending eight hours a week organizing 'campaigns led by Palestinian organizations.'

The organization instructs its fellows to 'rise up' and spark 'revolution,' while specifically telling them to reject 'reform.' 

It has received at least $300,000 from Soros' Open Society Foundations since 2017.

Soros, who is Jewish, was born György Schwartz in Hungary, and survived the country's Nazi occupation.

In a statement, the Open Society Foundations accused the Post of 'mixing distortion and unsubstantiated insinuations.'

The organization added: 'We have a long history of fighting antisemitism, Islamophobia, and all forms of racism and hate, and have advocated for the rights of Palestinians and Israelis and for peaceful resolution to the conflict in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. 

'Our funding is a matter of public record, disclosed on our website, fully compliant with U.S. laws, and is part of our commitment to continuing open debate that is ultimately the only hope for peace in the region. 

'We proudly support the right of all citizens to peaceful protest—a bedrock principle of our democracy.'

Tensions continue to escalate at the Columbia, where hundreds of pro-Palestine protesters are demanding that the institution divest from companies with ties to Israel.

So far, more than 100 demonstrators have been arrested at the 'Gaza Solidarity Encampment', which is comprised of a coalition of 116 groups under the umbrella organization Columbia University Apartheid Divest.

Several of the groups in the coalition have received backing from left wing donors, including one group currently under investigation for allegedly fundraising for terrorist organizations.

One of the key players in the coalition is Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), which the Gazette reports came out in support of the October 7 attack which killed 1,200 Israelis.

It has emerged one of the groups at the encampment, Students for Justice in Palestine, has links to another group under investigation for allegedly fundraising for terrorists. SJP members including this one pictured have been suspended over their involvement in the camp

 SJP receives funding from American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), according to the Anti Defamation League, which describes AMP as holding 'extreme anti-Israel views'.

Last year, Virginia's Attorney General Jason Miyares announced his office was investigating AMP over allegations they may have been fundraising for terrorist organizations.

SJP is also an offshoot of the Westchester People's Action Coalition which supports Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions, the Green New Deal, and other left-wing initiatives.

WESPAC is named as a 'fiscal sponsor' of SJP, according to NGO Monitor and has assets over $1,000,000.

Several of the groups members are among those who have been barred for participating in the sit in.

Another central player in the encampment is Jewish Voice for Peace, which has received millions from various donors including George Soros's Open Society Network.

Since  2016 the group has netted at least $650,000 from Soros-backed organizations.

Other donors have included the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, whose director, Nicholas Burns, resigned in 2017 over its support for JVP.

Both JVP and SJP have been involved in solidarity protests across other universities including NYU, Yale, MIT and Harvard. 

Columbia canceled in-person classes, dozens of protesters were arrested at New York University and Yale, and the gates to Harvard Yard were closed to the public Monday as some of the most prestigious U.S. universities sought to defuse campus tensions over Israel's war with Hamas.

Columbia University Apartheid Divest states on its website that it represents thousands of students across nine schools.

Other groups which make up the coalition include Young Democratic Socialists of America, Columbia Queer and Asian, the African Students Association, Columbia University Students for Human Rights and the Teachers College Abolition Collective.

The coalition began the sit in following Columbia president Minouche Shafik's testimony before Congress about anti-Semitism on campus. 

The stunt entered its seventh day today and has already seen billionaire donors including Robert Kraft pull their funding and earned condemnation from the White House.

The coalition's three demands center around divestment all of Columbia's finances, including that profit from 'Israeli apartheid, genocide and occupation in Palestine', severing all ties with Israeli universities and an opposition to 'to land grabs, whether in Harlem, Lenapehoking, or Palestine'.

The group is seeking a ceasefire on Gaza, where more than 34,000 Palestinians have been killed in retaliatory strikes by Israel.
