No college or university should be getting federal funding or tax breaks, regardless of their stance on antisemitism or anything else. The Constitution does not provide for government support. But those that allow antisemitism on their campuses should be denounced by our government. (I’m not holding my breath.)

Any college or university that enables anti-Israel mobs or antisemitic mobs on their campus should be stripped of federal funding. Congress must pass my Stop Antisemitism on College Campuses Act and Antisemitism Awareness Act to make that happen. If Congress does not take action these antisemitic mobs will continue.

The governoring boards at universities must remove tenured professors and any administrative leadership that chooses appeasement these Hamas sympathizers over protecting Jewish students right to enter these universities and right to an education

Congress needs to remember they have the power of the purse and pull federal funding which amounts to 100's of millions of dollars - OUR tax money, by the way! They should use all power they have to stop these riotous destructive actions on the campuses before they bleed into the streets. We don't need another Summer of Love!

Congress should not be funding any colleges or universities. The people did not delegate to congress the power to spend money on education.

The organization is asking the wrong question. First of all what is anti-Semitism?

We assume that everybody agrees. Supporting Israel does not mean that we believe in every decision they make as automatically correct because they are Jewish. Nor does it mean every action that they commit is good because they are Jewish.

They are wrong in they're treatment of the Palestinians historically and currently. The UK had no business handing over this country to the Zionist.

The world was too happy to find a place for all DPP of Europe Post WW II.

God is not in the real estate business. The land belongs to the Palestinians historically, as it was their nation when the UK invaded to colonize it.

Some Jewish people were living there as well. So were some Christians. Now what? It was under the control of the Palestinians as a bona fide country. UK was wrong to colonize this land by fiat and to act as their mother figure.

It was Palestinian when it was invaded by the UK and colonized. This is wrong. It's a complicated matter now that the Jewish people are living in Israel.

Nevertheless, they have infringed on the rights of the Palestinians and have imprisoned them in the land of Gaza.

Agreements have not been honored regarding encroachment issues, travel issues and freedom to run their own affairs. 75 years later post agreement makes for a complicated matter. The land must be shared.

There never was a country called "Palestine". That term referred to the region. Anyone who could support a people that call for the elimination of a country, and whose religion says to "Slay the infidel wherever you find him" as Hamas did by invading Israel and massacring innocent civilians, after bombing them for years, is inhumane. Arabs, Christians and Jews live together in Israel. There are Arabs in the Knesset. There certainly isn't any such toleration by Hamas. Terrorism cannot be tolerated or appeased, unless you wish it to continue.

I enjoy playing video games as a typical individual. And having played a variety of games, I can say that the ones I've purchased are worth the cost. Because the developers put in a great deal of time and effort to create the perfect game and render the most detailed graphics. Try poppy playtime to understand what I mean.

SCOUTING AMERICA? Bow down to the Cancel Culture! Are you kidding me? This accepts that pedophila, transgenderism, and sexual deviation are all okay. Change the name, no big deal. Wrong!!!! Boy Scouts are a 100 year tradition. They. are losing money and reputation because they went woke. Personally, I think it is shameful. Put God back into Boy Scouts, and give American families something to rally behind.

I hold the stance that the government should defund the students and forever bar them from receiving any federal or state financial aid. It would be even better to also retract funds they have received and require repayment and restitution.
