Scott Wants to Hold Universities Accountable for Antisemitism

University campuses are at the center of scrutiny over accusations that they're fostering antisemitic views. In light of Israel retaliating against a missile strike from Iran, footage of student protestors yelling "we are all Hamas" and "long live Hamas" have received condemnation. Responding to the antisemitism, Florida Senator Rick Scott (R) has introduced a bill to hold the universities accountable.

This morning, Secretary of State Antony Blinken held a press conference on Israel's retaliatory act, providing minimal information about Israel's response but maintaining that the United States remains committed to defending Israel. In Tehran, thousands of Iranians took to the streets to protest against both the United States and Israel, chanting "Death to America, Death to Israel."

In the United States, students at Columbia have taken part in similar protests, and lawmakers are now responding to the antisemitic sentiments shared in the protests.
