Mr. Speaker, reclaiming my time. I thank the gentleman. I appreciate his support for that, I think it is very important. I think it is a more inclusive bill, a broader bill. It takes in not just the problems at the universities but also takes on problems in the communities at large. There has been anti-Semitism for over 2,000 years. The Jews have a homeland. Before they had a homeland, they didn't have that sense of security anyplace where they were. It has been threatened so many times and so many places over the years, and it should not be taken from them. I was concerned, and Mr. Nadler made the point, that in 2017 in Charlottesville there were national socialist movements, Vanguard America groups, traditional workers parties, Klan members, all kind of rightwing anti-Semitic crowds, racist skinheads that were in Charlottesville. They marched around saying: ``Jews will not replace us.'' The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.
