Political Quotes

“Mr. Chair, I thank my colleague for his comments. What we have seen is an alarming rise in incidents where protests on college campuses turn violent against Jewish students. This is not free speech. It is an assault on free speech, and it has no place in America, let alone in the institutions tasked with shaping the minds of the next generation. Since the horrific October 7 terrorist attack on Israel, we have seen an explosion of anti-Semitism on college campuses. Across the country, Jewish students have been harassed, assaulted, intimidated, and subjected to the hostile and sometimes violent environments of their campuses. Every Jewish student deserves the right to learn, to speak, and to participate in campus life without fear of being targeted. In the wake of anti-Semitic incidents on college campuses across our country, violence against Jews has even gotten worse. Since October 7, fewer than half of Jewish students feel physically safe on campus. Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.”
