"GOP Calls for Action Against Anti-Semitic Protests on College Campuses"

Republican officials, candidates, and activists are framing antisemitic incidents and progressive protests against Israel as part of a larger cultural battle over education, particularly at elite universities. They argue that universities have been captured by a "woke agenda" and are calling for campus crackdowns, removal of federal funding from schools that fail to investigate threats, and expulsion of foreign students who share antisemitic messages. Antisemitic incidents have been on the rise in the United States, and Republicans see opportunities to exploit divisions within the liberal coalition by highlighting the views of progressive Democrats who oppose the Israeli government. The Biden administration has pledged to fight antisemitism on college campuses, but Republicans argue that university administrators value Jewish students less than other minority groups.
