So members of congress that support Israel get more funding from Israel than those that support Hamas. 

 

Where’s Alvin Bragg, there has to be another Trump indictment in that somewhere…

Let’s stick to what we know.

 

A great deal of money is being fed to Members of Congress from pro-Israeli sources.

Here's a better challenge, quote me where I claimed they were. As for right wing, I go where the facts are be that there or from left such as Fetterman:

 

Senator Fetterman Slams Campus Protests as "Pup Tents for Hamas"

[EVENKEEL]

Alot of slightly used tents, ice chests up for grabs. If I was a student protestor I think I'd take the tent I bought with me. Unless, of course Protest supplies were free.

Be careful.

 

The claim is Universities are radicalizing students.

 

A university is a very specific entity.

 

’University people’ what does that mean?

 

We already know a significant number of people arrested at these protests were not students or affiliated with the university.

“How about this class that was given to students at  Columbia its sister college, Barnard, Charlotte Kates.”

 

So not a class given by the University or College and therefore not evidence of the University radicalizing students.

 

I’m glad we’ve cleared that up.

Indeed. It’s time to tax university endowments and eliminate the student loan program. Let the universities finance tuition.

If you are going to claim they are not anti-Israel, then putting effort into showing their donations is pointless. 

 

Even once it’s show. to be true, you’ll just excuse it and claim it does not affect the coursework the university offers.

Qatar’s ties to US universities scrutinised amid rise in antisemitism

Qatar has emerged as the largest foreign donor to US universities, contributing $5.1bn since 1986

In the wake of October 7, scrutiny of Qatar’s relationship with Hamas and the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood has intensified.

Texas A&M University last month announced that it would close the satellite campus it established in Doha in 2003. The university cited “regional instability” for its decision, but it has also faced unwanted publicity since October 7 about its patron’s ties to Hamas.

I still haven’t got a clue what you are banging on about.

 

Saudi Arabia and Israel are in close agreement on Turkish interventions in the Middle East.

 

UAE and Israel armed forces conduct joint operations.

 

Netanyahu played a pivotal role in Qatari aid to Hamas.

 

So please tell us what point you are trying to make.

 But that’s just the Qatari leadership, the Qatari people actually love Israel, it’s the Qatari people that love Israel that donate to universities in the US.

Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy

In 2023, ISGAP published a report claiming that Texas A&M’s Qatar campus was being used by the Qatari government for nuclear research.

 However, Welsh stated that the campus is not involved in any nuclear research and that ISGAP’s claims were “false and irresponsible”. ISGAP’s credibility was questioned and it was also accused of falsely targeting the faculty members named in its report.[7] In 2018, ISGAP was also alleged of being paid $445,000 by Israel, which was nearly 80% of its revenue that year.[8]
