Summary

Two months ago, educators and Jewish leaders sounded the alarm on what they were calling an outbreak of anti-Semitism on our college campuses. And they spoke out against faculty and students who displayed what they called a complete lack of empathy following the Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel on the 7th of October.

We saw just a few days ago on December 5th, a horrifying reality when some of our so-called elite university presidents at Harvard, MIT, and UPenn were questioned by Congress regarding their views on antisemitism. I'm going to play a little bit of their remarks for you today and we’ll dig into this issue together.
