In this special report, Sky News Digital Originals can reveal how pro-Palestine groups causing havoc on college and university campuses are being funded.

In recent weeks, ugly anti-Israel protests have played out on campuses around the world, leaving Jewish students feeling threatened and scared.

Questions have been raised about how these encampments are being financially supported.

"There have been paid agitators at campuses and rallies around the world for many years. But in this particular scenario, we're seeing organisations really organise and mobilise people around these encampments. They're encouraging people, they're paying individuals," Dr Casey Babb from The Institute for National Security Studies told Sky News.

Geopolitics and financial commentator Dr Roger Gewolb also weighed in on how money from non-for-profit organisations is partly being spent on organising rallies.

“It pays for coaches to bring the people, it pays for food, maybe some booze. It pays the expenses to organise these things."

    Hate comes from being envious of the prosperity of Israel and the West.

  • How a peaceful protest of Canadian Truckers was considered a terrorism and police was called by the government to stop it, but these university protests are considered freedom of speech expression. Where is the common sense in all of this?

    Imagine targeting innocent Jewish students for a war going on literally hundreds of thousands of kilometers away

    These protests are a good example of herd behaviour.

    A close family friend of mine is a Holocaust survivor. When he was a 5 year old boy, he was taken into hiding by a beautiful Christian family in The Netherlands, while his parents were forced into a packed train of fellow Jewish people and gassed to death in a massive death camp in Auschwitz. (A very slow, excruciating death). His parents happened to be on the same train as Anne Frank. My friend is in his 80s now, and still has horrendous nightmares to this day. This gentleman has been a father to me and is most wonderful man I have ever known; I am so fortunate to have had him in my life.

    Ugly demonstrations in Australia, just disgusting. SHAME on the Victorian and Federal LABOUR governments for not taking action against this disgusting behaviour.
  • The protestors should be asking Egypt and Jordan why they dont want Palestinians.
