In an effort to reduce that number, the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on Wednesday called “Never To Be Silent: Stemming the Tide of Antisemitism in America.”

While citing antisemitic acts that have occurred at synagogues, community centers, and public places, the hearing focused on how especially bad it is on college campuses. …

Anti-Israel protests continue, like the ones that have been held for more than a week at New York’s Barnard College.  Elisha Baker, a Barnard College student and witness, told CBN News, “It’s not only anti-Israel, but it’s anti-American, and it goes against everything that a university should be tolerating.”

President Trump posted a message on Truth Social placing college campuses on high alert. “All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests,” he wrote.

Republicans at the hearing agreed with the idea of revoking federal funding to schools that tolerate antisemitism. They further suggested the State Department should deport foreign nationals who are in the U.S. on student visas and are caught harming Jews.

“Why don’t we write into the process, a condition of the visa that is, (if) you assault a Jewish student on campus, you’re out of here! You’re gone!” said Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) which was followed by applause. …
