KINSELLA: Hidden hand funds Jew-hating
protests, rallies, encampments
These outside interests do not wish to reveal themselves, but we will not rest until this hidden hand is exposed

If you are a Canadian Jew, or you are one of the many who supports Canadian Jews and Israel, it’s been a bad week.
A Jewish kid was beaten up by a Muslim kid at a Fredericton-area school, and teachers did nothing to stop it. Vancouver artists are being kicked out of exhibits for being Jewish. Canada, for the first time, showed its willingness to recognize a Palestinian “state” run by Hamas – a listed terror organization.
CBC - Fact check farce
And, to top it all off, CBC broadcast a couple “facts checks,” as they called them, about whether the aforementioned encampments – the Infant-fada – were receiving support from outside.
The “fact checks” were so replete with errors, so completely unbalanced, we will not even link to them, because we have a policy against publishing fake news at this organization. Suffice to say that the “investigative reporter” who broadcast the stories mainly relied upon (a) other CBC reporters (b) Israel-hating protestors and (c) an anti-Zionist professor for his sources.
That tells you all you need to know.
So, what is the truth? Are the protests we are seeing on our university campuses, and in our streets – across Canada and the United States – planned and connected? Are they being funded by others?
Well, yes and yes.
As far back as January, this newspaper has published multiple sourced reports about “pro-Palestine” protestors getting paid to protest, from Victoria to Montreal. We have documented that self-styled “progressive” organizations here and in the U.S. are using their non-profit status to pass along millions to those who despise Jews and the Jewish state. It’s all right there in Google, by us and other news organizations.
But perhaps CBC can’t afford Google. Perhaps, too, they didn’t see a bombshell lawsuit that was commenced earlier this month – and well before CBC broadcast their fake news reports – in the Virginia’s District Court. It wasn’t hard to find. We certainly found it, within minutes.
That lawsuit, all 49 pages of it, lays out in granular detail the way in which the anti-Semitic American Muslims for Palestine (AMP, which isn’t as active in Canada) and the pro-Hamas Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP, which assuredly is, with 200 chapters here and around the globe) “serve as Hamas’ propaganda divisions” in Canada, the U.S. and elsewhere.
In Canada, some SJP chapters have taken slightly different names, like Students Against Israeli Apartheid (SAIA), or Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights (SPHR). But they’re all branches of the same poisonous tree – about which the Anti-Defamation League has said: “Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and many of the organization’s campus chapters explicitly endorsed the actions of Hamas and their armed attacks on Israeli civilians… SJP chapters issue pro-Hamas messaging and/or promote violent anti-Israel messaging channels.”
So, SJP is here and they are very active on campuses – and they help oversee just about every anti-Semitic protest in this country.
What does the lawsuit say about them? And who is suing them, and for what?
The lawsuit is brought by young people, mainly, who somehow survived the slaughter at the Nova Music Festival on Oct. 7, or the mass-murder of innocents at Kibbutz Holit on the same terrible day. Fifteen people were killed at the kibbutz, Israelis and non-Israelis alike. At Nova, the site of the worst atrocities on that day, 364 mainly young people were killed.
Their lawsuit against SJP and AMP is a legal work of art, basically. It is a thing of beauty. It meticulously and surgically lays out the ways in which SJP and its allied organizations “provide on-campus management and control hundreds of university chapters of SJP.” Why? “To operate a propaganda machine for Hamas and its affiliates across campuses.”
The legal action has been brought by five of some of the biggest and best law firms in the United States. It seeks a jury trial, and unspecified damages for the plaintiffs.
To date, representatives of SJP and AMP have not responded to multiple requests for comment on the lawsuit.
In the statement of claim, the victims write: “[SJP and its affiliates] provide ongoing, continuous, systematic and material support for Hamas its affiliates … by operating and managing Hamas’s mouthpiece for North America, dedicated to sanitizing Hamas’ atrocities and normalizing its terrorism.”
It’s all right there, page after page of it. The allegations haven’t been tested in court yet. But would it have killed CBC to, say, reach out to someone involved in the lawsuit and try and get both sides of the story?
Apparently. Perhaps they were too busy counting their taxpayer-funded bonuses to, you know, go out and do some real reporting.
No matter. The rest of us know the truth: the Jew-hating protests, rallies and encampments we are seeing are funded, in whole or in part, by outside interests who do not wish to reveal themselves. They are the hidden hand.
But the rest of us will not rest until the hidden hand is exposed.
