A vast network of anti-Israel groups has found “alternative fiscal sponsorships” after a main backer, the Westchester People’s Action Coalition (WESPAC), was exposed in a number of lawsuits as the financial powerhouse underwriting the nationwide campus protest movement, a new watchdog report shows.

WESPAC, a nonprofit headquartered in the affluent New York suburb White Plains, served until recently as the official “fiscal sponsor” for many of the organizations orchestrating violent and often anti-Semitic demonstrations on college campuses across the country. With WESPAC now embroiled in nationwide lawsuits, its partner organizations have been forced to find new benefactors and alternate fundraising channels.

WESPAC’s financial relationships with numerous pro-terror groups allowed it to accept tax-deductible donations on behalf of many organizations “directly responsible for targeting Jews with antisemitic rhetoric and creating a hostile environment across the United States,” according to a new report by NGO Monitor, which tracks anti-Israel funding networks. Those organizations include National Students for Justice in Palestine, Within Our Lifetime, the Palestinian Youth Movement, the U.S. Palestinian Community Network (USPCN), International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network, the Palestinian Feminist Collective, and Adalah-NY.
