Recent developments have highlighted a surge in antisemitism across various U.S. college campuses, prompting action from lawmakers, including Chair @virginiafoxx, and raising concerns among the Jewish community. Harvard University has been criticized for not cooperating with investigations into antisemitism on its campus, with officials accused of employing obstruction tactics and providing over 40% of 2,516 pages of documents that were already publicly available. Similarly, Middlebury College faces accusations of retaliating against Jewish students, and Stanford University has been criticized for not taking stronger action against antisemitic threats. Columbia University is being sued for allowing harassment of Jewish students. Additionally, the African Methodist Episcopal Church's call to end U.S. aid to Israel has sparked debate, reflecting broader tensions around antisemitism and support for Israel. Amid these developments, reports of neo-Nazi marches in Nashville have further underscored the rising tide of antisemitism, prompting responses from politicians and community leaders. Subpoenas were sent to Harvard's interim president, Alan Gerber; Penny Pritzker, a senior fellow with Harvard Corporation, and N.P. Narvekar, CEO of the Harvard Management Company.
The African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME) has issued a statement accusing Israel of “mass genocide.” https://t.co/pcjUX9NRU9
Fucking absurd that Nazis can openly congregate at the Tennessee general assembly like this. A functional society would not and can not allow this. https://t.co/gKbZJqj1aN
So let me see if I have this right: today in Nashville there was a neo-Nazi march led by a guy who endorsed Biden because Biden supports arming Ukraine, which Putin invaded to “de-Nazify” even though it’s led by a Jew. https://t.co/dYoFnmBXUk
Nazis are not welcome in Nashville. Also this one hit his nuts on a bollard https://t.co/YFMTq0IPfl
We should be clear: Nazis marched on Nashville today because Nazis are emboldened by increasingly normalized antisemitism and white supremacy from our politicians, pundits, and social media. None of it happens in a vacuum. https://t.co/VGOMJdVRMl
Watching Mother Emanuel AME congregants shout down pro-Palestine demonstrators showed that Zionism is alive and well in the Black church. It was one of the most despicable and heartbreaking things I’ve ever seen from my own people. https://t.co/8B7P7hze0A
Neo-Nazis march in Nashville, Tennessee. Guess what? I'm coming to town, I will be in Nashville next week to tell the truth about the Jewish people and fight Antisemitism. WE ARE NOT SCARED OF YOU ANTI-SEMITES! https://t.co/raKTlv8ZN7
Horrifying video from downtown Nashville this morning. @WKRN https://t.co/NGKkHSVrtg
A warning to all educational institutions — antisemitism will not be tolerated. I will again state clearly, for the record, if you allow antisemitism to continue on your campus, you are my enemy. https://t.co/iL7DNIFVIc
If any member from the “Neo Nazi” group that were marching in Broadway Nashville Tennessee would like to be interviewed please contact me immediately.
Nazis are marching in downtown Nashville today. If politicians actually wanted to crack down on antisemitism they’d confront the far right. https://t.co/asnNPlUJG1
🔥🚨DEVELOPING: I am currently walking to Broadway in downtown Nashville to investigate the reports of “Neo Nazis” marching in our city. https://t.co/0WUhVpkjJ8
Some of the documents include meeting minutes from Harvard’s top boards and any records and communications since January 2021 that relate to antisemitism. https://t.co/pdD5xqLwE5
Hate on display in Nashville https://t.co/sERfjRs0cH
.@TheLeoTerrell: "What has Harvard done to protect the Jewish students on the campus? I would submit to you ... nothing." https://t.co/b5d4dqOvbj
We saw reports of disgusting anti-Semitic protests in Winter Park today. It's heartbreaking and infuriating that we continue to see so much hate toward our Jewish community. Hate will never be tolerated in Florida, and we all must call it out every single time.
White supremacists continue to feel safe to demonstrate on some of #Florida's busiest streets with no fear of any consequences. Today, it's neo-Nazis in Winter Park. https://t.co/yf597R0A3W via @AGGancarski
Nazi scum cowards in downtown Nashville on Saturday afternoon... https://t.co/VTTWW5Jgoc
After former-Harvard President Claudine Gay testified that calls for the genocide of Jews wouldn’t break university policy, @HouseGOP is working to protect students from rampant antisemitism and hold universities accountable for their role in fueling it. Read more:…

Just left an event honoring a Black sorority and spoke of the need to unite against the rising tide of white supremacy, only to be confronted by Nazis marching through downtown Nashville. This is exactly what my Republican colleagues hate speech is fostering and inviting. https://t.co/ZaK5kUQDYP
“It is my hope that these subpoenas serve as a wakeup call to Harvard that Congress will not tolerate antisemitic hate in its classrooms or on campus,” Ms. Foxx said in a statement. https://t.co/pdD5xqM4tD

As American Jewish teens look at colleges, along with thinking about academics, location, and the social scene, many have found themselves weighing in a new factor: antisemitism. https://t.co/kII5wefbB4
Stanford has fallen: Prestigious college is plagued by anti-Semitism and refuses to discipline teaching assistant wearing 'Ask me about Jihad poster' who said he'd welcome Biden's assassination and Hamas US government https://t.co/EVF81BrwFG https://t.co/VWiSIVbWJn

Stanford’s event on combating anti-Semitism was overrun by virulent, hate-spewing, threat-making anti-Semites. Will there be consequences for open bigotry? https://t.co/3pjDtJrh3Y
If you read one thing today, it should be this, from the remarkable @DaraHorn: on antisemitism at @Harvard and college campuses across the US. https://t.co/b9dGm9iglN
Really smart piece here in @theammind by @NateAFischer, arguing that ownership, not "meritocracy" must be the true alternative to DEI. https://t.co/6AF7ph3NRq
Harvard's spokesman says our subpoenas are "unwarranted" yet 40 percent of the docs we've received were already publicly available. Harvard so badly wants the American people to forget this clip which spurred our investigation. We won't stop until we get answers. https://t.co/k2Hnf3O2og
Everyone must read @NateAFischer’s piece on the American Mind today. https://t.co/QLzjSFMSXZ https://t.co/TdTWRihwCx
Incredible reporting here that reveals systemic institutional rot. If Stanford wanted to stop the antisemites threatening Jewish students, it would expel them. The protests would end almost immediately. Instead, the administration is trying to appease them. Shameful. https://t.co/89CY4V4yos
"While @virginiafoxx said the university has produced 2,516 pages of documents, over 40% of them were already publicly available." "Harvard’s continued failure to satisfy the Committee’s requests is unacceptable." @FoxNews https://t.co/eiX3UI0tRG
Harvard's obstruction tactics in response to @EdWorkforceCmte's investigation into pervasive antisemitism on campus are unacceptable and insufficient. https://t.co/GYJ4SNwKnj

The idea that Penny Pritzker "is willing to tolerate the proliferation of antisemitism on its campus" is preposterous. The Pritzkers fled antisemitism in Eastern Europe - Penny Pritzker, others subpoenaed in Harvard antisemitism probe https://t.co/cqFe3T7EmD via @crainschicago
Terrifying reality of the toxic brand of anti-Semitism infecting Britain's university campuses: GUY ADAMS on how a rabbi was forced into hiding by an avalanche of hate calls and social media trolling including 'us Muslims are coming for you' https://t.co/3Z4MB3aQgn https://t.co/tMnuySkCpY
NEW: Last month Stanford held a forum on combating anti-Semitism. By the night’s end, protesters had physically threatened Jewish students, harassed a rabbi, and told employees they would "find out where you live." And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.🧵https://t.co/ZCbscd8Gjx
I'm a @NateAFischer fan so everyone should check this out! https://t.co/wOHpg44vZM
Columbia University continues to allow hateful antisemites to threaten and harass Jewish students. That’s why it was announced this week they are being sued. I visited the campus to see how the students are coping with the antisemitism and they gathered to show pride in… https://t.co/QxXzK3kZ2J
Last week I had the pleasure of interviewing @NateAFischer on his work at @NewFounding I think Nate and his cohort are the vanguard of a major economic movement that will define our century. Check it out! https://t.co/FEsDPLgFTY
Stunningly bad anti Israel statement from AME bishops. No, church founder Richard Allen would not approve. Like all historic denominations, AME is declining. Nondenominational black churches are typically more Israel friendly. https://t.co/9g9Bs0gs9l
I see Republicans in Congress, gleefully going after Harvard on the issue of anti-semitism on campus, who were not nearly as outspoken when neo-Nazis marched through Charlottesville, chanting "Jews will not replace us!"
African Methodist Episcopal Church calls for end to all US aid to Israel https://t.co/9ZwfxxUQdw
Middlebury College accused of retaliating against Jewish students who reported antisemitism, refusing to recognize Jewish groups on campus, and even telling students to remove the word "Jewish" and avoid references to Israel in advertising an event. Wow. https://t.co/DbGXstYfPs
Harvard has had an opportunity to cooperate and provide necessary documents related to the investigation. They have not done that. Antisemitism will not be tolerated. We will not tolerate stonewalling Congress, either. https://t.co/WfmsWCxSly
Harvard’s failures cannot go unanswered. I am proud that Chair @virginiafoxx and my colleagues on the @EdWorkforceCmte are holding them accountable. Rest assured, our work is far from over and we will not stop until we rid college campuses of the scourge of anti-semitism. https://t.co/6HNggziTGi
