The House of Representatives on Thursday approved a commonsense resolution condemning support of terrorist organizations and antisemitism on college campuses. But what should have been a unanimous vote instead had more than a handful of notable dissenters including one Republican.
As Politico reported, the House resolution, H. Res. 798, was introduced by Rep. Burgess Owens (R-Utah), who heads the House Education and the Workforce’s subcommittee on higher education. The U.S. Senate last week approved a similar measure, S. Res. 418, by voice vote.
The resolution denounced a number of protests in support of Hamas’ October 7th attack on Israel, These included the “Day of Resistance” organized by National Students for Justice in Palestine and “pro-Hamas statements” issued by their chapters. Burgess revealed students protesting on campuses were chanting “Glory to our Martyrs,” which he called an “explicit antisemitic call for violent eradication of Jews and the State of Israel.”
“Hateful acts of antisemitism are spreading like wildfire across American college campuses,” Owens said on the House floor during Wednesday’s debate on the resolution.
The House passed Owens’ resolution by a 396-23 vote. There were 22 Democrats and one Republican who opposed the measure.

RELATED: The Left’s Hamas and Anti-Semitism Problem
Published November 3, 2023
The left is infected with pro-Hamas sentiment and rampant anti-Semitism.
Following Hamas’ heinous and unspeakably evil terrorist attack on Israel on October 7, which resulted in the death of over 1,400 innocent Israelis, protests erupted across the country and around the world, with pro-Hamas protesters siding with the terrorists, excusing the atrocities or outright denying them.
At college campuses, high schools, and in the streets of what used to be America, they chant, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” A call for the genocide of the Jewish people and the destruction of the only Jewish state.
Pro-Hamas protesters are tearing down posters of missing and abducted Israelis and saying things like “Death to Jews” and “Death to Israel and America.”
Are we in America anymore, or Iran’s parliament – where that’s the usual chant?
We’re working hard to shine a light on this evil through some of our reporting, and these terrorist sympathizers are paying the consequences. Some have lost their jobs and seen their cushy careers lined up post-graduation disappear.
However, not only has this pro-terrorist, Jew-hating ideology spread across the country, but it has also infected Congress and the Biden administration.
Democrat Representatives Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar are notorious for their pro-terrorist anti-Semitism. They’d rather side with Hamas. They’ve even spread terrorist propaganda. Instead of condemning Hamas for using innocent Palestinians as human shields, Democrats call Israel an apartheid state and say it’s carrying out genocide, despite Hamas’ own charter calling for the total elimination of Israel.
Joe Biden isn’t interested in fixing this at all – apparently, it’s all about “Islamophobia.”

RELATED: Rashida Tlaib Posts Video Of Protesters Calling For Gaza To Take Over Israel, Says Biden Is Supporting ‘Genocide’
Published November 3, 2023
Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib posted a video Friday featuring pro-Gaza protesters calling for the removal of the Israeli state.
The video, posted to Tlaib’s X account, showcases a number of different protests across the country, including one in Michigan in which protesters can be heard chanting the Palestinian phrase “from the river to the sea.” The phrase references a call for the wholesale elimination of the Israeli state, stretching from the Jordan River in the east to the Mediterranean Sea in the west, according to the American Jewish Committee.
he phrase has also been used by terrorist groups, including Hamas, which carried out attacks against Israel on Oct. 7 that resulted in the deaths of over 1,400 Israelis, according to the American Jewish Committee. The video also displays text overlays calling for a ceasefire and explicitly blaming Biden for supporting “the genocide of the Palestinian people.”
The video shows protesters in Illinois chanting “No peace on stolen land,” and protesters in Ohio yelling “The occupation has got to go.” Footage of the protests is mixed in with Tlaib scrutinizing President Joe Biden for supporting Israel’s right to defend itself.
“Mr. President, the American people are not with you on this one,” Tlaib says in the video. “We will remember in 2024.”

RELATED: Cheering terrorism: Democrats must deal with their far-left antisemitism problem
Published October 11, 2023
If we’re ever going to obtain peace in the Middle East, we’re going to have to confront the reality of rabid antisemitism, not only in the Muslim world, but also in the the Democratic Party and in the news and cultural media whose political arm the Democrats comprise.
It’s easier to pretend it’s not there, but that won’t change anything. At some point soon, the party leadership will have to make a choice: either stand up to the strident hatred of Jews simmering under the surface of its progressive left wing or continue to let it simmer until it boils over.
I’m not Jewish, so I’ve never experienced antisemitism directly. I have witnessed it. In May 2000, I was a college senior living in Dearborn, Mich., a Democratic stronghold with a large Arab population. The day Israel withdrew from the six-mile-wide security zone it had occupied in southern Lebanon since that country’s civil war, I suddenly started to hear horns honking, cheering and other noises I hadn’t heard since the Red Wings had won the Stanley Cup a couple of years earlier. I headed outside and saw people standing on cars, waving Lebanese flags and cheering like they’d just won the World Cup.
But I remember this gathering chiefly for the fear and dread it put into me — for the nasty signs and ugly, threatening chants of “Burn the Jews” and “Death to Israel,” among other things. It’s one thing to dislike or oppose Israeli policy — what I saw was naked, visceral hatred of Jews. Indeed, it was difficult to process the reality around me of people so cheerfully wishing death upon another group of people.
Most of those in the streets that day were young and likely had never lived in Lebanon. Their hatred of Jews probably had been passed down to them through their families. How do you combat that?
