There were liberal billionaires holding purse strings about college students protesting the killings in Gaza. This isn't a one-party problem. Though Repubs are more blatant about their corruption because they no longer have any shame.
Zionists aren't liberals in my book. They're just a slightly different flavor of fascists who dress up their sick ideology with a Jewish facade rather than the more traditional Christian facade.
Not necessarily- most Zionists are Christians- they have the belief that the apocalypse will be declared by the antichrist at the Temple, so they want Israel to take control of Palestine, demolish the Al Aqsa mosque and rebuild the Temple.
They're "Christians" who enjoy a little bit of Jewish-flavored fascism as a seasoning for their Christian-flavored fascism the same way they might enjoy a bagel for breakfast once in a while.
source?

This should give you a bunch of sources- I learned of this from Dr. Bart Ehrman myself.
I haven't heard that - can you point me to an article or something?
Look up Bill Ackman. There are others, but his name is the one I recognize from hearing about him on podcasts.

What do you mean by the verb phrase “holding purse strings about” here?
I know what holding purse strings means: one controls the money for an operation hence gets to decide.
But what does to mean to “hold purse strings about” these protests? You’re saying they were funding them? Or funding reporting? Or funding the schools? Or what?
What’s “about” mean here?
They threatened to withhold donations unless the universities cracked down on the student protesters. Look up Bill Ackman. That's the name I know.
