There has been an alarming rise in antisemitic incidents in NYC and across the country, with various leaders and officials condemning the hateful acts. Testimonies in Congress highlighted the failure of universities to protect Jewish students from discrimination and hatred, leading to calls for stronger actions against antisemitism.
Biden condemns 'horrific' acts of antisemitism this week in US. The homes of Jewish Brooklyn Museum officials were vandalized with terrorist symbols on Tuesday night, during the Jewish holiday of Shavuot. ✍️: @hannahssarisohn https://t.co/yzsfra7wGs
The dangerous explosion of antisemitic incidents in New York City and the nation requires decisive action at every level of government. We have to crush this cancer with the fierce urgency of now. Congress must pass the bipartisan Countering Antisemitism Act. Immediately.
The hatred and antisemitism across our country make me sick. Israel is our friend, and as far as I’m concerned, they and our nation’s Jewish community will ALWAYS be welcome in the United States. Thank you to the NYPD for putting a stop to these cowards and keeping those at… https://t.co/EpvEHRVy2Z
Thank you, @POTUS, for continuing to condemn rising antisemitism. In the face of this historic increase, our leaders must denounce this hate. As you said, “Antisemitism doesn't just threaten Jewish Americans. It threatens all Americans, and our fundamental democratic values.” https://t.co/gQyV4kEFRL
President Biden condemns recent spate of "abhorrent" antisemitic acts in New York. https://t.co/SjvNaYTwJR
The horrific acts of Antisemitism this week – including a demonstration celebrating the 10/7 attack, vandalism targeting Jewish homes, attacks on Jewish faculty at college campuses, and harassment of subway riders – are abhorrent. Antisemitism doesn't just threaten Jewish…
EDITORIAL | The stain of antisemitism in NYC Jew-hatred by anti-Israel protesters is a poison that must be expunged https://t.co/j26MD4b9HO
Recent acts of antisemitism in NYC have given progressives cause to recast their messaging, @emilyngo reports in this nuanced @politicony Playbook piece: https://t.co/z2eNl4wcu9
The antisemitism on the left is arguably far worse because it is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The pushback @AOC received on her tweet is disturbing and part of a greater trend. The brilliant @IzaTabaro breaks it down in greater detail in the tweet below. https://t.co/6sxEHdtfpI
University leaders' failure to address antisemitism on college campuses is leading us down a dangerous path. I spoke about the negative repercussions these lawless protests have had on students and faculty and what we can do to promote better dialogue surrounding complex issues… https://t.co/v0fuz1pqGT
“There should have been plenty of wake-up calls for the progressive left that the antisemitism was coming from inside the house.” @SnoozyWeiss on the woke folk of NYC who are finally facing the reality of Jew-hate: 🧵 https://t.co/0GBO5MYYVD
Universities have a responsibility to ensure a safe learning environment for all students. Yet, many have failed to protect Jewish students from vile acts of antisemitism. If these schools can’t do their jobs, we should be taking a second look at their tax-exempt status. https://t.co/AjsrWQRHhf
The @CFPB repeatedly brushes aside congressional concerns, forges ahead with political agendas, and pushes past the boundaries of its authority. I joined @SenatorHagerty on legislation to make the agency accountable to Congress & the American people: https://t.co/XrG2YHiEff
During our hearing, @RepBethVanDuyne asked Talia Dror to describe her experience at Cornell and her reaction to the failure of university leaders to appropriately respond to and condemn those spreading antisemitism and threats of violence. WATCH BELOW⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://t.co/0AKppLn5ze
Under the Biden Administration, the @CFPB is burdening businesses nationwide with excessive regulations and overreach. Today, I continued to advocate and fight for American consumers and the businesses that serve them by questioning CFPB Director Chopra on the excessive… https://t.co/Nnzkpp2RHn
Colleges and universities should hear the message loud and clear: Antisemitism will not be tolerated. Those who allow hate will be held accountable.
Not only do university administrators refuse to protect their Jewish students, but they actively mocked the intimidation and harassment they faced. This is disgusting and they need to be held accountable. https://t.co/09bHpgDj9r
Today, in @waysandmeansgop I asked Dr. @ShaiDavidai, a Columbia Univ. prof, how antisemitism espoused by faculty has impacted students. His response provided a deeply concerning account of the plight of students with opposing viewpoints at tax-exempt colleges and universities. https://t.co/xhKPCyoxOM
#Cornell Graduate Talia Dror testified to the House Ways and Means Committee on Thursday about the plight of Jewish students on the university's campus amid the recent wave of pro-Hamas protests and its policy concerning #antisemitism on the grounds. https://t.co/HIXPWUtMv6 https://t.co/6nMw59Y5Jg
At todays @FSCDems hearing with @CFPB Director @chopracfpb, I urged the #CFPB to address credit card payments and time zones, manufactured identities in auto lending, and debunked yet another GOP attack on the CFPB’s funding structure, which #SCOTUS upheld just last month. https://t.co/4cKh8AAUY0
The @CFPB’s funding structure allows it to evade basic levels of accountability & oversight. Pleased to lead my colleagues in reintroducing the CFPB Accountability Act that would rein in this reckless agency by cementing Congress’ control over its funding. https://t.co/sSd9UnqxPu
The @CFPB operates without an accountable governance and funding structure. Republicans have a solution, @RepAndyBarr's CFPB Transparency and Accountability Reform Act, to: ✅ Subject the Bureau to appropriations ✅ Replace the single director with a bipartisan commission https://t.co/ye7Yxwj3iA
There’s been a 700% increase in antisemitic incidents on college campuses since October 7th. Colleges & universities need to step up and protect their students from discrimination. That’s what @RepLCD is fighting for with the Civil Rights Protection Act of 2024. Watch: https://t.co/Jt6xNYeYZk
Antisemitism has seen a disturbing rise since October 7th. At today's Ways & Means hearing, I touched on the importance of protecting Jewish students on campus and ensuring that free speech does not cross the line into hate speech. Follow along live here: https://t.co/gHqdBenwCN.
Director Rohit Chopra runs the most unaccountable agency in the federal bureaucracy. Full stop. Despite SCOTUS's ruling, Committee Republicans will continue to hold Director Chopra and his rogue @CFPB to account. https://t.co/hABRZob4nG
Let’s be clear. This is vile and antisemitic hate graffiti on the streets of NYC in 2024. These are intentional and incendiary messages of intimidation and hate targeting Jewish people—that are part of a larger strategy to normalize antisemitism and disassociate Jewish identity… https://t.co/3ahyWlR52z
In her testimony, Talia Dror, a graduate of Cornell University, notes how universities that enjoy generous tax-exempt benefits have failed to protect Jewish students and allowed hatred to flourish on their campuses. https://t.co/XVAsbkwR4O

House Ways and means hearing titled “The Crisis on Campus: Antisemitism, Radical Faculty, and the Failure of University Leadership”
This vile behavior must stop. Find the deviants and charge them. This vandalism cannot be accepted. I stand with our Jewish friends and neighbors 100%… shoulder to shoulder. https://t.co/rdRN2dv3P3
This is not activism or protest. This type of hate should never be tolerated in NYC or anywhere. Our city is diverse and everyone deserves to feel safe, regardless of their religion. I hope the NYPD holds these professional/unproductive agitators accountable. https://t.co/H8AygcF8Py

This blatant anti-Semitism is horrific & will not be tolerated in our country. We must immediately identify the perpetrators of this vile behavior & hold these terrorist sympathizers accountable. https://t.co/yACUht0o5a
The @EdWorkforceCmte has exposed the problem: Pro-Hamas activists have taken over our education system. We're working on the solution: pulling back federal funding for colleges that fail to protect students from hateful antisemitism. https://t.co/jDLknb2YED
Thank you @NYCMayor. What a horrific display of hate and antisemitism in the heart of NYC. https://t.co/c5P4HBPhkB
There has been an alarming rise of antisemitic incidents throughout the world and across the country—most recently, in Brooklyn. Such unchecked hatred has no place in society, and we must work harder to ensure we root it out. https://t.co/w5qAQI9zPX
This is disgusting and absolutely horrifying. Our Jewish neighbors should never be made to feel targeted and unsafe in their own homes. We all have a responsibility to step up and loudly condemn these hateful and antisemitic acts. https://t.co/sSDtMJoZXg
Tomorrow morning, I will be testifying in Congress in front of the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee about the rise of antisemitism and support for terrorism at @Columbia. You can tune in below. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://t.co/WcFlvD47jH
