Senator Ted Cruz, a Republican from Texas, strongly criticized President Joe Biden and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Democrat from New York, for their handling of the re cent anti-Semitic protests occurring on several college campuses.
Cruz’s remarks follow instances where students at prestigious American universities, such as Columbia University, New York University, and Yale University, have publicly shown support for terrorist organizations and advocated for acts of violence targeting Jewish individuals.
A significant number of students are openly flouting the school’s code of conduct, and in certain instances, they are also breaching criminal laws by engaging in acts of aggression against others in the name of their pro-Hamas ideology.
“That is not peaceful. Threats of violence and calling for the murder of your former students is not remotely peaceful.” Cruz said during a new podcast appearance.
“AOC, this is a sitting member of Congress, she’s singling out Columbia and Yale, she’s praising what’s happening at Columbia and Yale. Understand, she supports this vicious anti-Semitism, and there is Joe Biden happily sitting there.” he continued.
“And in today’s leftist academy, using the president of Columbia’s own word, they have some sympathy for that. No, there is no sympathy. Terrorism is not a form of protest. Terrorism is a horrific form of violence that targets civilians, that targets women and children, that commits murder and acts of cruelty. And that’s exactly what Hamas did.” he added.
“And what Columbia did, they revoked his [Shai Davidai] pass to campus, they zeroed out his access and blocked him. This is the administration of Columbia, they decided between a professor on their faculty who happened to be Jewish, or the anti-Semitic protesters who are threatening violence that the problem was the professor who dared to be Jewish.” Cruz continued.
