WASHINGTON– Today, the House passed H. Res. 798, Congressman Burgess Owens’ (R-UT) resolution condemning the support of Hamas and other terrorist organizations on college campuses.
“Congressman Owens’ resolution sends a clear message: antisemitism has no place in America, especially not on college campuses. Colleges and universities have become a breeding ground for radical ideology. That fact has never been more evident as campus demonstrations in support of Hamas and other terrorist organizations erupt. Not only are these demonstrations morally reprehensible, but they also incite violence against Jewish students and staff. The passage of this resolution is a good first step, but I can assure you, we will not stop here. Soon the Committee will hold a hearing on combating antisemitism. I will continue to demand accountability for this kind of hateful and violent rhetoric,”said House Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC).
Earlier this week, Chairwoman Foxx spoke in support of H. Res. 798. Watch Foxx’s remarks here.
