of americans rallied here and we spoke in solidarity. yet on our college campuses, students and faculty have abandoned history of israel and sided with a terrorist organization that is intent on wiping out the jewish people and hamas is using hospitals, hospitals as command centers. so why are the most antisemites and hamas backers on our u.s. college campuses often in positions of proposal nance? universities have become antisemitic rhetoric and hard to cut the ties between antisemitism. from the national research highlights the $13 million in unreported foreign contributions to 200 colleges and universities. the common thread between these institutions was gritter exposure to antisemitic rhetoric. students for justice in palestine are linked to sun safery organizations and had potential leaks to hamas. colleges have been slow to respond that they condone these methods on the student population. i am glad to have you folks standing up against antisemitism and supporting the state of israel. mr. schanzer, you studied middle eastern history. what do you say when palestinian students are trying to stand up and jewish people are living on stolen la
