Jewish capital plays a pivotal role in supporting and developing major American universities , which enhances Israel's ability to influence all US decisions.The influence of Jewish capital in the United States is not limited to Wall Street, nor even to parties seeking to finance their election campaigns. Rather, it is permeated in the educational sector, as it has the largest scientific, technical, and military power in the world.The presidents of Harvard and Pennsylvania, Claudine Guy and Liz Magill, were removed from their positions, not because of administrative or academic shortcomings, but because they failed to “stamp down anti-Semitic manifestations,” in the words of members of Congress, as they did not stand up to student demonstrations sympathetic to Gaza in the face of Israeli aggression.Two Jewish businessmen, Bill Ackman and Len Blavatnik, temporarily froze support for Harvard due to their position on its former president, knowing that they gave the prestigious educational institution together more than $330 million.The latest chapter in Jewish funding for American universities was announced by Ruth Gottesman, the widow of businessman David Gottesman, through her donation of one billion dollars to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, to cover tuition fees for all students.The largest financier ever is Michael Bloomberg, who gave about $1.8 billion to Johns Hopkins University.In conclusion, through these numbers, which are considered a link in a larger chain, it becomes clear how much influence Jewish capital has on American higher education, which in turn produces the elite that rules and has the largest military and economic power in the world.
Between 2014 and 2020, Muslim-majority countries together donated nearly $5 billion to American higher-educational institutions. Most of those came from Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
And that is just what was reported officially. Much of the money donated to universities is not reported publicly. Mitchell Bard has done more on this topic than anyone, and he found billions of dollars in donations from Qatar that were not reported.
Some of these donations come with strings attached, like the funding for the Edward Said Chair of Middle East Studies at Columbia. It is obvious that foreign nations spending billions expect to exert some sort of influence. Economically troubled Egypt ($125M), Lebanon ($24M), and the cash-strapped Palestinian Authority ($10M) have given donations to US universities, with Harvard receiving the most. The only reason that makes any sense is that they expect to reap dividends in the future, directly or indirectly. Recipients include political centers like Harvard's Kennedy School.
Even seemingly innocuous donations to medical research and the like can be problematic: universities are chasing after donors, and they may believe that if the school is known for being pro-Israel it wouldn't get anything from Arab countries.
It gets worse. A recent report from the Network Contagion Research Institute found a correlation between the amount of money universities received from Middle Eastern countries and antisemitism.
From 2015–2020, institutions that accepted money from Middle Eastern donors had, on average, three times as many antisemitic incidents as those institutions that did not.
This study has received some publicity - hence this article trying to claim that it is Jews, not Arabs, who are using money to influence universities. Even though Jewish donors don't have political agendas. They typically want to simply show appreciation for their alma maters.
All becomes clear when you understand that Al Araby is based out of...Qatar. Almost certainly, the newspaper was told to write this article to help deflect from the pressure Qatar is feeling on having their donations to be more transparent.
