The Senate is cracking down on antisemitism spreading like wildfire on college campuses. A shocking 500% spike in hate incidents against Jewish students has lawmakers demanding action. With reports of Jewish kids getting punched and harassed just for being Jewish, Republicans say enough is enough.
Senator Bill Cassidy slammed woke universities for letting mobs take over. He’s pushing two new laws to protect students. The first forces colleges to handle hate complaints properly. The second makes sure schools use a clear definition of antisemitism to stop anti-Israel radicals from hiding behind “free speech.”
President Trump isn’t waiting around. His administration canceled $400 million in funding for Columbia University after it failed to protect Jewish students. A new federal task force will hunt down campuses that let antisemitism flourish. “Taxpayer money shouldn’t fund hate factories,” said Senator Tim Scott.
Democrats like Bernie Sanders whined the bills don’t tackle “all forms” of hate. But Republicans fired back—antisemitism is exploding now, and schools have done nothing. “They care more about coddling radicals than protecting Jewish kids,” said one GOP lawmaker.
Jewish students told horror stories of hiding their faith to stay safe. Over 80% said they’ve faced antisemitism since Hamas attacked Israel. At Berkeley, a student was punched for filming a protest. “I’m scared to wear my Star of David,” one teen testified.
Foreign cash is making things worse. Groups linked to Qatar and China are bankrolling anti-Israel protests. Senator Roger Marshall exposed how schools taking Middle East money saw more antisemitism. “They’re buying brainwashed activists, not books,” he warned.
Republicans say universities must choose: protect Jewish students or lose federal cash. The days of blank checks for woke campuses are over. “We’ll hold every college accountable,” promised Senator Cassidy.
The message is clear—America won’t tolerate Jew-hatred. With strong laws and tough leaders, conservatives are fighting to reclaim campuses from the antisemitic mob. Every student deserves to learn without fear, and the GOP is making sure that happens.
