According to The Wall Street Journal, some pro-Palestine activists stationed on campus” campsites” all over the country spent “months” training with seasoned activists and organizations before staging their attacks last month.
As Breitbart News and others have noted, many of the “encampments” had used similar techniques, and the protesters are properly- trained in practices such as linking hands to push people ( including journalists ) out of their walls. Former protesters have been site, such as Lisa Fithian, who was lately seen at the Columbia University camp. Additionally, the New York Police Department has stated that international donors have contributed to the outposts.
The , Journal adds depth in its report, adding that National Students for Justice in Palestine ( NJSP), which is involved in the encampments, has been receiving funding from a group in New York called Wespac:
Citizens across the country were shocked by the new wave of pro-Palestine protests that occurred on college campuses. However, some of the marches ‘ political strategies were the result of years of planning, encouragement, and education by seasoned campaigners and left-wing groups.
…
There are links between long-standing far-left organizations and the protesters, despite the lack of a centralized command in charge of the student motion opposing Israel’s war of Gaza.
…
For the last century, donations to NJSP have been received and administered by the Wespac Foundation, according to Howard Horowitz, Wespac’s committee chairman. The gifts are passed on to NSJP” for jobs in the United States”, he said, declining to provide further information.
Wespac denied participating in the demonstrations on school or being involved with any coordination efforts.
However, NGO Monitor also listed Wespac among the non- governmental organizations involved in “orchestrating” the protests:” WESPAC Foundation, a Westchester, New York- based organization registered with the IRS as a 501 ( c ) ( 3 ) non- profit, serves as the fiscal sponsor for National SJP”. It adds (original emphasis ):
WESPAC , ( Westchester Peace Action Committee Foundation ) – founded 1974
- WesPAC supports some of the anti-Semitism-propaganda-related organizations, including Kids for Justice in Palestine and Within Our Life. Additionally, WESPAC serves the Palestinian Youth Movement USA, Adalah-New York, and the United States Palestinian Community Network ( USPCN).
- WESPAC’s sources of income are largely unknown. A few basic donors, some of whom were big donors, are revealed in public records, more obscuring the original donors.
- WESPAC uses “apartheid” and another demonizing language,  , campaigned , for convicted PFLP extremists, and , contextualized , the October 7th crimes.
Wespac likewise told the , Journal that it does not help violence, racism, or violence.
