Todd Piro (Host): The money aspect of this, Jim, because the government goes after you if you fund terror, if you foment unrest. This is basically terror on college campuses. Right? So why isn’t the government cutting off the funding to these groups? We all know they have the technology, Jim.
Remember, they were able to target conservatives who went to Dick’s sporting goods. Why can’t we stop this?
Jim Hanson (Guest): There is foreign funding. Everyone is now aware of it. The Middle east forum has been investigating this.
We found a network of charities that were gathering money in the US and funneling it to Hamas overseas. Now we’re tracking money coming from overseas into the United States to fund these protests. And I’d like to say that we’re tracking the incidents of the two minutes hate against Israeli and Jewish students.
So if anyone has any of that they want to share, send it to civilrights@meforum.org. And we’re trying to push the government and other agencies to take action against this because this is material support for terrorism by outside and even foreign organizations who’ve gathered from all over the country and even a bunch of wannabe revolutionaries who think they’re reenacting a campus version of Les Miserables at the barricades, all of whom are going to cause problems when the police have to.
