Who is Funding the College Protests?

Bayou Renaissance Man is talking about how the protests at college campuses are being organized and funded by outside sources. These are not spontaneous, grassroots protests. They are professionally managed and run. So now I'm wondering just who is funding these protests, so I ask Google and what I get back is a lot of nonsense:

Not till we get to The Jerusalem Post do we start getting answers:
US student protests against Israel are orchestrated by Qatar-funded groups, aiming to promote Islamist ideology and malign Saudi Arabia, as revealed by researchers.

Qatar, the same country that is playing host to Hamas leadership. 

George Soros is paying agitators who are fueling the explosion of radical anti-Israel protests at colleges across the country.

New York Post blames billionaire George Soros:

No one familiar with the state of modern academia can be much surprised by the wave of anti-Israel tent-city occupations sweeping US campuses — but that doesn’t make them 100% “organic.”

And The Post’s discovery that lefty philanthropists are funding student “protest leaders” may be just the tip of an iceberg.

Encampments at Harvard, Yale, UC-Berkeley, Ohio State and Emory in Georgia were organized by branches of Students for Justice in Palestine, which gets cash (some direct, some indirect) from the Soros family “charities” as well as the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and retired Wall Street banker Felice Gelman.

Gelman and the Soroses also give to Jewish Voice for Peace and Within Our Lifetime, two more groups intimately involved in the protests.

At least three organizers — Malak Afaneh (Berkeley), Craig Birckhead-Morton (Yale) and Nidaa Lafi (University of Texas-Dallas) — are paid fellows of another lefty-philanthropy favorite, the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights.

USCPR community and college fellows earn stipends of $2,880 to $7,800 for work organizing campaigns to demand cutting ties to Israel.

Soros and Biden, what a pair.

P. S. Beware - I don't know whether it is my computer, or the websites I linked to, but when I had all these sites open my computer slowed to a crawl. I blame Google. I'm going back to Linux as fast as my little feets can carry me.
