Last month, Fox News Digital reported that progressive anti-Israel agitators across the country, including those who mobilized at New York City’s Columbia University, are associated with groups tied to far-left groups with radical associations backed by dark money and liberal mega-donor George Soros.
National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP), a national organization affiliated with more than 300 independent chapters advocating for "Palestinian liberation," operates under Westchester Peace Action Committee Foundation, a fiscal sponsor, whom Fox News Digital previously reported received a six-figure donation from a nonprofit bankrolled by the George Soros network.
The foundation, whose funding is largely unknown, has accused the Israeli government of "apartheid," "ethnic cleansing," "collective punishment" and "war crimes," according to NGO Monitor.

Another group active at Columbia, Jewish Voice for Peace, has brought in at least $650,000 from Soros-linked groups since 2016.
JVP has also taken in hundreds of thousands from the billionaire-fueled Rockefeller Fund, which is boosted by millions of dollars from adark money funding network.
"The Open Society Foundations has a long history of fighting antisemitism, Islamophobia and all forms of racism and hate," a spokesperson for George Soros' Open Society Foundations previously told Fox News Digital.
Fox News Digital has reached out to Garland's office for comment.
