Why are the Palestine protests suddenly blowing up now?

Follow the money.

At three colleges, the protests are being encouraged by paid radicals who are “fellows” of a Soros-funded group called the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR).

USCPR provides up to $7,800 for its community-based fellows and between $2,880 and $3,660 for its campus-based “fellows” in return for spending eight hours a week organizing “campaigns led by Palestinian organizations.”

They are trained to “rise up, to revolution.”

Occam's razor would suggest that these people like protesting for causes that they feel strongly about anyways, and just so happen to be the ones who are better at it. They're likely happy to receive money from an organization for doing what they were already going to do anyways.

You're making it sound like more of a conspiracy than it probably actually is. "Follow the money" implies that Soros and his money are the reason this stuff is happening. That's unlikely.

Why should families of Jewish students who have suffered real and immediate oppression not be able to know who funded all this?

Other than a few posters about "antifada" around the cafeteria making kids uncomfortable, or a handful of racists yelling anti-semetic stuff at a handful of students (this is the exception, not the norm), what real and immediate oppression of jewish students has happened, exactly? I saw that the student who complained about "Israeli kouskous" being renamed to "kouskous" at the cafeteria also claims that somebody poked her in the eye on purpose (the video evidence is inconclusive). I also saw one jewish kid complaining that protestors were blocking him from entering the building, when in fact they were blocking everybody and not just jewish students.

Do you have any concrete examples of "real and immediate oppression" that more than 10 or 20 jewish students have had to deal with? I'm not talking about jewish students feeling unsafe or some idiot with a racist protest sign. You said "real and immediate oppression".

Also, it doesn't really take financial backing for protestors to yell racist stuff or get violent. That can all be done for free. Your focus on who funded one or two speakers for working 10 hours per week for a pro-Palestinian organization is probably not directly related to why any specific incident happened.
