the holocaust. anti-semitism is not a new problem, and they've been working on it for decades. the american judiciary committee has an action plan with a tool kit and lesson plans and teaching materials are widely available for like the u.s. holocaust memorial museum. and requiring studies with age appropriate curriculum available. and i remember thanking lie late friend who when he was in his 80's and early 90's, told survival to hundreds of awed audiences, and places of worships, prisons and clubs, and personally from his book, from a name to a number. that's the unforgettable education that made a difference, made his memory be a blessing. i want to emphasize strongly it's important for leaders to stand up to anti-semitism no matter where it comes from. many of my colleagues claim to care about the rise of anti-semitism in this country, but when white supremacists marched in charlottesville, jews will not replace us, the president said there were fine people on each side. and nick fuentes, has denied the holoc

the protests? >> they have a point. >> we've seen anti-semitism on university campuses, in the public square, and ingainst jewish citizens. this is my pledge to you. we will confront anti-semitism. we will step out prejudice. we will condemn hate speech. we will bear witness and we will act. when i get back into office g office i will put every single university college president on notice. the american taxpayer was not subsidize the creation of terrorism sympathizers on american soil. i will defend our friend and ally the student if you like nobody has ever defended it before. always stand with the jewish people. >> host: and will go to the phones now and start with david in minnesota, independent line. good morning. >> caller: good morning. yeah, the rise of anti-semitism is mostly due to a change in definition. it's not more people being at the semitic, such as marching in the street with tiki torches saying certain groups will not replace us. it's more people calling for an end to the oppression of palestinians saying they want them to live, and wanting to equal rights such as everyone in americ

the population. it is not anti-semitic to show what you have done terms of the housing gaza. it is not anti-semitic to understand that meant yahoos government has violated because of persistent marking 26 hospitals out of service killing more than 400 healthcare workers at a time when 77000 people have been medical care. yahoos government has thematically destroyed the healthcare system. it is not anti-semitic to condemn yahoos government for the destruction of oils gaza 12 universities. twelve universities all destroyed. anti-semitic to say that or is it anti-semitic that 56 other schools been destroyed and hundreds more damaged. today 75 children and gaza have no opportunity for education. not anti-semitic to say that. it is not anti-semitic to note that yahoos government has obliterated thousands of civilian infrastructure but there is virtually no electricity gaza right now, virtually no plea bargaining right now and which being out not anti-semitic to data. mr. president, it is not anti-semitic to agree with every humanitarian organization in gaza area and saying that yah

crosses the line to anti-semitic harassment. other opponents to the bill say they would rather see a different bill tackling this. that no -- the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for an additional minute. mr. lawler: that no reason, no political cover to vote against another measure is helpful. i ask my colleagues who would prefer other solutions, consider the good it will do for the jewish students. yes, keep pushing for more change in the future. we need to hold these institutions accountable. my bill has bipartisan support, 59 co-sponsors. dozens of jewish advocacy groups, including the adl, a.j.c., and good of israel. it is absurd to oppose this on the grounds that it somehow limits free speech. calling for death to jews is not protected speech. it is anti-semitic. and the fact that we have some of the highest ranking jewish officials in america refusing to defend the jewish community because of politics is a disgrace. it is shameful. and it is pathetic. and anyone who votes against this bill because they woul

the hate to behind it has not. anti-semitism is repugnant and all its forms, but the topic of today's hearing is particularly troubling. it's hard to grasp how anti-semitism has become such a dominant force in our k-12 schools. some kids as young as second grade are spewing nazi propaganda which begs the question who has positioned these young minds to attack the jewish people. the very need for this hearing is a travesty. the aftermath of october 7 has revealed some of the ugliest most deprived ideas. once marginalized from society and our education system has failed to stop it. it's not just anti-israel, it's anti-american. anti-american. it's anti-democracy. our witnesses today represent, three of the witnesses represent some of the largest school districts in the nation where there's been some vital anti-semitism in their districts. just a few minutes ago, we heard from students, parents and even a teacher who said this is happening without an appropriate or any response at all. jewish students in their districts fear riding

the holocaust in american heritage. anti-semitism is not a n problem. the adl the anti-defamation league has been working on they have a center for anti-semitism research. the american jewish committee has an action plan with a toolkit for pubchool administrators. lesson plans and other teaching materials are widely available through organizations like the u.s. holocaust memoria like new york and several other states my home state holocaust and genocide study with age-appropriate i remember my late friend holocaust survivor in his 80s andold his story of survival to hundreds of audiences and univers colleges, middle schools and high schools places of worshipd clubs. personally and through his book from a name to a the kind of unforgettable education that makes a difference a blessing. i also want to it's important for leaders to stand up to anti-semitism no matter where it comes from. many of my colleagues claim to care about the rise in this country but when they march in charlottesville virginia with burning porches into chantingje

because under the ira definition, criticism is deemed to be anti semitic. if you are not equally criticizing all others who are guilty of similar bad behavior, which is sort of like saying, you can't have an organization that focuses only on the welfare of say, elephants. if you focus on the welfare and elephants, it means your anti, the welfare of every other, organise every other animal. right? it's, it's, there's something in name about this to suggest that in order to criticize, in order to engage in criticism of israel, you have to be an anti semite that that's what it's setting up as an argument. jay, what do you say to the person who pushes back to that argument? that large is laid out and says, yeah, but there has to be some room uh to criticize a very real practice of isolation. for example, if we criticize israel for having an imperfect democracy, right? all the nations in the world, they call themselves democratic, are imperfect democracies. but if we only focus on israel's, then that represents an example of isolation and exceptionalism and ult

in agreeing to the demands of anti-semites. ident schill in my view you are the easiest case we have dealt with. you agreed to the demands of those who are trying to change university policy and anti-semitic way. you rewarded their tactics of using force us with the adl has said bissau it i have said. that's not a question excuse me sir per. >> we agreed to nonee of the demands for. >> hereto that you announce deering meadows agreement hereto that you made preposterous statements like it was not practical to consult with the jewish students prior to seceding to those demands i would associate myself with the comments of the adl. i think if the university does not move to change its leadership it will be endorsing that institutionalization for the normalization anti-semitism on campus. president holly are you currently underl. considerationo be the president of yale university? >> know i am not progress you are not you're playing to state records?ti >> yes i am progress think osorio back. cooks thank you. ms. stevens you are reco

if this does become the legal definition of anti semitism, where does the ultimate lead use? who are critical design is to all, i mean, much like the debate around the demonstrators and the protests right now. it's effectively invisible lives of jewish people who are critical of as early as it effectively deems them not existing in the debate or themes. i'm not jewish. and therefore legitimate to that. and we have terms that have come up in recent years like, and you or you know, as you mean or have seen resign china, no jew in name only. i mean, there is a new framework being being brought in by some parties who really want zionism to be judaism, which says that if you are not an ardently zionist you, you're not really jewish. and by contrast, if you aren't jewish, but are ardently zion is, you are kind of jewish or more jewish than the jews who criticize. so we're in this moment of great irony is where, you know, you have this enormous pressure. a lot of it from forces like the idea of it also forces like the anti woke, right. we're not particularly interested in jewish saf

, the use of anti semitic images. and yes, it has opened the door to the normalization of anti semitism in parts of my country to the protesters, though the students um say that there is not enough pressure on israel to end. the war that has already killed more than 30000 pulsed indians. and casa, and this is why they, after universities to diag best from, is really companies and companies with connections to israel or to the military. are these not legitimate demands, in your opinion, asking for the succession of civilian deaths and a military conflict is always a concern. i think there is a lack of critical thinking that play in part the number of civilian deaths as reported by the hamas run. garza health ministry is not shifted significantly over the past couple of months. the fact that the information is coming to us from a known terror organization automatically makes some of those numbers suspect. we certainly know that civilians have died and that's tragic. but in terms of the scale of civilian deaths by percent

anti- semitism and agreeing to the demands of anti-semites. in my view you are the easiest case we have dealt with. you agreed to the demands of those who are trying to change university policy and an anti- semitic way and he reported their tactics and use of force. this is what the adl has said. that's not what i said. >> we agreed to none of the demands that were presented. >> you announced the dearing meadows agreement. you've made preposterous statements like it was not practical to consult with jewish students prior to conceding to those demands. i would associate myself with the comments of the adl. i think if the university does not move to change its leadership it will be endorsing that institutionalization, the normalization of anti-semitism. president holloway, are you currently under consideration to be the president of yale university? >> i am not. >> you are planning to stay at rutgers? >> yes i am. >> thank you. i yelled back. >> ms. stevens you are recognized for five minutes. >> as some of you might be aware , last term in congr

>> the skids engaged, the kids who were responsible engaged clearly an active anti-semitism. >> okay. my question is, it is this ia black teacher being threaten and pushed by some white bigots, would you still say that these kids are not the problem, not being radicalized by hatred? >> if it was a black teacher that was being targeted, absolutely unacceptable, and this was unacceptable. >> let me ask you -- >> i'm sorry. whether any consequences? i mean, i'm hitting nice words, really nice words here, teaching, redirecting, directing. what i'm missing his discipline and the missing the word fired. has anything happened to these kids that did this to the -- >> is teachers hiding up at your? d >> i'm not if you would cody what i sit. what iai said was very clear. we suspended a number of students who were the leaders at hillcrest high school, number one. two, we removed the principle of that school or a lack of a leadership and oversight. i don't how to make h a much clearer. i contend clearly what happened atne hillcrest was a complete active anti-semitism. it will not stand on myt wat

in closing, anti-semitism has no place in montgomery county public schools. the suffering caused by anti-semitism, hate and racism interferes with students learning and well-being. i want to do everything in my power to make sure all students can pursue their education without worrying about anti-somatic hate filled threats. we will continue to evaluate the policies and actions to ensure all students and families, every single one of them feel safe, valued and welcomed in the school system. i welcome the opportunity to continue this important discussion. >> thank you very much. well done. welcome to the committee. you are recognized. >> thank you. the chairwoman, ranking member scott, subcommittee chair, committee ranking member and members of the subcommittee, on behalf of the aclu, thank you for the privilege of testifying today. i want to start by acknowledging that today's topic confronting anti-semitism is a gravely important one. these are deeply complicated and confusing times i would like to use my time to make three key points and i will describe the fir

anti—semitism, as the late chief rabbijonathan sacks anti—semitism, as the late chief rabbi jonathanious prejudice. in the late 19th and early 20th century the focus changed, the perverted notions of racial science and ethnic purity led the nazis and their collaborators to wish to enter jewish lives in order to eliminate the jewish people. jewish lives in order to eliminate thejewish people. anti—semitism now is increasingly focused on the jewish home, on israel. self—styled progressive opinion against orders sceptical of the nation state determined to make every conflict centred on privilege has been mobilised and charged. so now the focus is on the deal it due to my station and demonisation of the state of israel as a prelude to its dismantlement and destruction. that is what the cry from the river to the sea envisages. the erasure of the sea envisages. the erasure of the jewish people's the sea envisages. the erasure of thejewish people's home. bethlehem, nazareth and jerusalem to become unified. these protests may ostensibly be presented as against israel's actions in gaza but in

reporter: to follow up on the comments on anti-semitism. the house republicans announced they'll expand their investigation on anti-semitism and the vote today. if democrats were in the majority, what steps would you be taking in response to what's been happening on campus. reporter: a great question. the biden administration put forth a comprehensive report and series of recommendations in may of 2023 designed to aggressively combat the rise of anti-semitism in the united states of america. representative kathy manning has introduced bipartisan legislation that is designed to bring many of those recommendations to life. in order to get to a better place in the united states of america. and it is my hope that representative manning's legislation will receive an up our down vote in the next few weeks before we leave town in advance of memorial day. it's bipartisan legislation. kathy manning's legislation has the support of the anti-defamation league. it has the support of a.g.c. it has the support of a variety of different jewish organization

we spoke with the mom who says her daughter experienced the alleged episodes of anti semitic bullying, which led her out of the district. >>this is not about politics at all. this is about a school district that's failing to keep their children safe. one of the more upsetting stories to me was the story of 2nd graders who is teacher had them right on post, it notes. stop bombing babies and things like that, and these posted notes within they were told to put them on the door of the only jewish teacher in the school. >>the school district responded with a statement reading in part. we acknowledge the difficult moment we are in and the pain some members of our community or experiencing due to the ongoing crisis in israel and gaza and the district continuously encourages families and students to report any incidents of bullying or hate motivated behavior. well coming up the ceo of the jewish community relations council here in the bay area, joining me live to talk about some of the fears. many families are feeling right now and how we can move forward. and this issue is being heard on a

the very realness of anti semitism. did they say specifically what they were so upset by their critique was primarily any criticism of the state of israel is tantamount to anti semitism. and so therefore, this talk was an anti semitic talk. 3 months later, a pro is real advocacy group called stand with us launched the title 6 complaint discrimination claim file with the department of education that goes to university in a queue. she hi, of hate speech and discriminating against her jewish. and it's really students a copy of the complaint was released to her right wing media outlet with everyone's name rejected except she has. i woke up in the morning to a slew of hate mail, heinous, racist, sexist, anti arab hate mail. my address was released the place of course where i work. they flooded my employers, emails or phone calls, directive, rape force deportation. harm towards my family. everything under the sun that you could imagine on every possible platform. everywhere there was no place that is safe. the title says compl

thank you for inviting me to address the horrific rise in anti-semitism. the number one religious-based hate crime in america. i also want to thank -- rabbi, michael cohen and reverend for joining me here today. today i will share how we are confronting the scourge of anti-semitism in the new york city public schools. the new york city school system which is our nation's largest is a committee of over 1 million students and staff. we speak over 180 different languages in our schools. our diversity however means our classrooms are not insulated from the global stage. since october 7 our students and staff, jewish and muslim, israeli and palestinian have suffered immensely. i i come to come have felt deep pain mr. flake of my own to electricity israel with the jewish community relations council. again and again my mind has returned to my visit to a profoundly moving experience for me. in the immediate aftermath of october seven, new city a adams made remarks condemning the terror attacks. i sent messages to our school community strongly condemning the heinous

the outrage is there any anti semitism in the world? of course, but this is not being motivated by that. that's not what has is happening on college campuses. there's many jews that are part of these, the pro palestine rallies. this is all motivated by the government's inability to defend its own position in gods. the u. s. government and the governments of the west cannot india logically defend themselves. and so they, they need to stamp out the speech that's, that's what's happened. and these are the most effective protests so far. and that's why this bill is being bass to stop it out. and by the way, the reason they're big, the reason they're continuing is because of the crack downs, and they let those protests play out. you wouldn't be seen this, but of course you're foolish and brutish and decided to stamp them out with the police. and that is what is led to a massive spreading of these camp as protests the u. s. government class on all the protests has gotten an interest or reaction including from target suppose an add on is that

the days of unchecked anti-semitism, aracism must be . we wld t purveyors of the oldest hatred accountable. ementhis visit has renewed my sense of the stakes of the battle we are in. i want to leave you with one message today, it is this. the majority of americans support you and we always will. since president truman's recognition of israel 11 minutes after david ben-gurion declared israel's independence and 76 years in five days ago, america stands with israel. we must not extremism in so-called elite corners and the deep abi lr israel among the american people. most americans feel a strong co they have opened their heights to you in the start our and i have seen it in conversations -- dark hour and i have seenons wig families, small business people, veterauden alike. the reason for this love is no mystery to me. i wasaised in upstate new york. i attended an all girls day school next door to a synagogue. i grew up attending [indiscernible] and have been welcomed in many homes for shabbat dinner. i celebrated with my friends the birth of

the freedom of palestine. jewish students reject claims that anti-semitism is aimed at alienating them they know the facts. i am completely overshadowed by anti-semitism here, but there is no such thing as anti-semitism at all, and i think anyone who came to the university campus understood this. the worst treatment of jewish students is from columbia university itself. labor day this year in france. in this year's demonstrations, the french workers supported palestine and condemned the crimes of the zionist regime rather than raising their union concerns. french workers' demonstrations were accompanied by police repression and arrests of workers. you feed the french give you keep our traditions alive. you promote our knowledge and the world to us. is jealous you make us proud. congratulations and thanks to all the workers. an hour after this juicy tweet of macron, the president of the liberal democracy of france, the police responded with tear gas batons to the workers' demonstrations in france. during the suppression of protests in france, dozens of workers were arrested and sent to prison. but on the oth

president, over the past couple weeks, we witnessed a wave of anti-semitism sweep college campuses across our country. under the guise of protest an old hatred has made an ugly return. not in some far corner of the world, which would be bad enough, but here in the united states in 2024. intimidation of jewish students, support for terrorists, calls for violence against fellow americans. we've seen it all and more on college campuses over the past few weeks. too often, this repugnant rebehavior has been abetted by the action or inaction of campus faculty and administrators. jewish students simply walking around their campuses have heard things like hamas, we love you, burn tel aviv to the ground, from the river to the sea, we are hamas. every one of those slogans has been used at protests. a cbs article from a few days ago reported, and i quote, near columbia university, anti-semitic slogans, including go back to poland, were heard among the protestors' chants. in one video, a demonstrator can be seen holding a sign that reads al qassam's next targets. that, of course, is the military wing

the word zionist. yeah, we're onto that. that's still anti-semitic. you can absolutely criticize the israeli government. you can absolutely protests. netanyahu or any actions that you wanted these really government fair game. but you can't say all zionists are murderers and not expect people i think that that's also antisymmetric as well there's a different experience i think for jews and for israelis on these campuses, the jewish students have to code, they're zionism to work in progressive spaces. if you're a jewish student and you want to be active and lgbt issues if you want to be active and democracy issues, you can also be zionists. they have to now suppress that onto their identity. is really students are just downright harassed on campus for them, it is. they cannot participate in most of the academic and social settings on many of these universities. and for that reason, i've pressed eight massachusetts universities to come back with an action plan for how are you going to improve your anti-semitism climate on campus? because the adl ranked fo

against jewish students to and also to protest too much to the us congress approved on august semitism awareness act. not the legislation seeks to broaden the special destination of december to them, which is punishable as a hate crime in the us of the wording established bobby international hold of cause . remember, as a lions appear so vague that he could possibly be used to silence any criticism against the easel. angie semitism is a certain the perception of jews which may be expressed as hatred towards jews. manifestations might include the targeting of the state of israel, conceived as a jewish collectivity. anti semitism frequently charges, jews with conspiring to harm humanity. the another brought the destination of december to them. any display of hatred of jews or the state of he's always to be outlawed. also, there can be no comparison of actions. bobby's ready state to those of nazi germany and that to these to actually prohibit accusations. that'd be id if it's committing genocide in gazda. critics all concerned that the legislation could be used to bad pro palestinian bod

the question is about the surge in the -- surge of anti-semitism in the u.s.? no. this is swaying us from what we are actually discussing which is genocide in war. why is it anti-semitic when it is about jewish people but when it is against black people it is just plain racism? i believe right now it is just a movement to keep us protecting jewish rights. you cannot hide behind the holocaust forever. when we talk about reparations, we get laughed at. but getting back to the question, no. it is the same amount of racism. it is not anti-semitic. from the river to the sea, let palestine be free. does that make me anti-semitic? no. i do not -- i do not want to see babies slaughtered because of israel. they are not an israeli defense force. ar an israeli death -- they are an israeli death force. it is out there for everyone to see. if you do not get the congress to stop this, imagine what the future will be. there is nothing but hate. you forget that they have voting rights. they will remember this in november. congress, democrats, you better watch out. that is all i hav

the senate. he has fought anti-semitism his whole life. o established the first ambassador of anti-semitism. you are talking about the person who established the first anti-semitism coalition. by the way also i would give credit to president trump establishing the abraham accords that was a big deal for the state of israel. but this administration has done a good job supporting israel and supporting the jewish people. i think the president is doing what he thinks is right and i think with the politics following wherever they may. i don't like obviously president trump going out and telling the jewish community if you vote democrat somehow you are a bad jew. we appreciate it but don't have dinner with fontes. everyone here obviously is trying to posture, there are things i differ with the biden administration on how the decisions they've made but i think the last six months the biden demonstration has stood by israel and the jewish community and we are appreciative of what president biden did obviously with his speech on anti-semitism on the

and the idea that anti-zionism is anti-semitic is really premised on the idea that the jewish peopleople for whom this idea is questioned. and, i do understand people who feel that way, but, i work in international conflict resolution all over the world, and i can tell you it's simply not the case. just in the middle east you have the kurds. you have bass country, i am a ranking member, people who whether or not they should get a state is contested. and so to me the idea that it's only the jewish people who are having this concept questioned for is just not actually accurate with what we see in the world, and that's why i don't believe it's inherently an anti-semitic thing to question. >> congresswoman, as you well know both members in chambers say there is a clear solution to the campus demonstrations. listen. >> is what needs to happen. for one, is we need to stop funding these universities. >> if they don't want to do something to address this, kiss your federal funding goodbye. >> congresswoman, what does that signal to you about the republican's focus on anti- semitism? >> first

which the combating anti-semitism act. d it is bipartisan in a nature --natu ae and that will also insure that the department of education's office of civils which has the jurisdiction over investinf anti-semitism, islamophobia, xenophobia or hatred and d college campuses can be thoroughly investigated. and when the deciohas been made, that there should beaccot. accountability is able to occur. that is the best path forward. we are noting that this is a democratic approach. this shouldn a republican approach. we should work on combatihe rise of anti-semitism in a bipartisan manner, and the combating anti-semitism act is a thy manning who has a highy of credibility in this space and i working with our republican colleagues. >> last question. >> what do you make of house republicans' efforts to --k gar? >> it's an unserio effort. thank you, everyone. ♪ >> c-span'snal," our live forum involving you to discuss the latestf government, politics and public policy. from across the country. coming up friday morning, we'll talk about

the task force. it makes it seem like actually our interest anti semite is jewish. before coming to columbia, she worked for jewish organizations, helping high school students, identify the difference between anti semitism, the critics of israel. so to have all of my, you know, young lice work so far be boiled down to 3 words. is we just really? i mean, it is a, i think it says a lot about where we are at the state of the world. i don't think it's any stretch to say that we're in the mccarthy era moment here when it comes to speech, depression, radical. so i know if there's a senior attorney with palestine legal, the civil rights organization that monitors the suppression of palestine activism. much of the work is focused on college campuses. and since october 7th, their phone hasn't stopped ringing. we're seeing a record number of requests from students who have been facing severe anti palestinian hostile environments on their campus. and we know that students are filing complaints and the university is doing nothing. universities are happy to embrace diversity, dif

i am appalled at the anti-semitism on display all over the place. shocks me america has come to this because i've never seen this in america before and i have lived here 50 years. >> at the time we need leadership at the highest levels of government. we were talking about president biden's speech, doesn't have to be a disaster. it could be an uplifting speech that forcefully condemns what's happening on college campus, forcefully lays out who is right and who is wrong. i pray he doesn't talk about islamphobia. it could get so bad. stuart: moral equivalence is not the story of the day. >> have to call out who is right and who is wrong. we have to be on the side of right. stuart: all right, thanks very much, appreciate it. choosing to include a story about killing a farm dog and refusing to say whether she met with kim jong-un. she joined our show to defend herself. can she survive politically? we will follow this. the biden administration is loosening restrictions on china to boost biden's green agenda. democrat joe manchin says it creates loopholes
