Instead of focusing on new hate crimes legislation to combat the campus intifada, Republicans would be wise to address the root of the problem: funding and student funding from hostile countries.
During World War II, our country did not open its doors to immigrants from Germany and Japan. But after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, our political leaders began to push for an influx of immigrants, refugees, international students, and now border-breakers from Muslim countries and other parts of the world. I forgave you. The society of tolerance that we had worked so hard to build based on the enlightened views of our founders was destroyed in one generation by importing people from parts of the world that had completely missed enlightenment.
The First Amendment does not guarantee foreigners the right to attend our universities or to fund our educational programs.
Today, all of our prestigious universities are filled with foreign students, especially from anti-Semitic regions of the world. They are now mixed with homegrown leftists and communists, with support from both the Muslim Brotherhood and left-wing nonprofits, and are promoting vile Jew-hatred on campus reminiscent of 1930s Germany. ing.
Now, Republicans (many of whom have pushed for unlimited visas from abroad) have joined in and passed an overbroad hate crimes bill that encompasses anti-Semitism in the broadest sense to stamp out hatred of Jews on college campuses.
HR 6090, while undoubtedly well-intentioned, follows in the tradition of Republican recklessness, sidestepping the issue in important ways and then overly broad ways that could potentially limit free speech, which the left is happy to do. is addressing the issue.
This bill would ensure that anti-Semitic discrimination is included in Title VI’s prohibitions. This would allow Jewish students to sue universities for condoning pro-Hamas harassment and assault.
Many of these universities need to be prosecuted for blatantly allowing Islamic Nazis to violate their rules of conduct – something that administrators will never tolerate from white supremacists. The problem with HR 6090 is that it fixes the definition of anti-Semitism to the whims of a private organization called the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance. Tying legal definitions to the agendas of private ethnic or religious groups is a bad idea that can easily backfire. IHRA’s meaning The possibilities are too broad and potentially limitless, including references to “accusation,” “denial,” “use,” and “drawing out” potential anti-Semitic tropes.
When it comes to hateful activities, we need to swiftly deter and punish criminal behavior, but not police the ideas and speech behind those acts. Nothing good ever comes from hate crime laws. There is no need to regulate speech.
Enforce existing rules and laws if these students engage in criminal or disruptive behavior, such as occupying property or obstructing their path. If it’s just hate speech that doesn’t violate the rules, then it must be tolerated, like everything else covered by the First Amendment.
But what we must not tolerate is the importation of people and money into this country to fuel this pernicious hatred. The First Amendment does not guarantee foreigners the right to attend our universities or to fund our educational programs. Republicans would be wise to push for legislation that would ban Qatar and Turkey from funding education on our territory.
Middle Eastern countries donated more than $6.6 billion to U.S. universities between 1986 and 2018, according to the Global Antisemitism and Policy Research Institute. Many of those donations lacked proper disclosure. Qatar, home to Hamas, is by far the largest foreign donor to U.S. universities. Most of the funding comes from: qatar foundationa group with strong ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, is a group of theologians who believe that Muslims must finish the job that Adolf Hitler started.
Even if Republicans are unable to persuade the Senate to pass a related bill, states can and should direct public universities to deny foreign funding.
The greatest threat to American Jews is the influx of Islamic extremists from abroad. The irony of ironies is that House Speaker Mike Johnson, of all people, slipped $3.5 billion for open borders NGOs in the Israel aid bill! These refugee resettlement groups have been responsible for instilling anti-Israel extremism in our communities for years.
Criticizing Israel should not be considered a hate crime. But anti-Semites should not be allowed into this country. Because they don’t just hate Israel. they hate us
Several months ago, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York gave a speech denouncing the rise in anti-Semitism. But he refused to reveal the roots of much of that anti-Semitism. Mr. Schumer was one of the authors of the 1990 immigration bill that created the Diversity Visa Lottery, the biggest factor in bringing the Middle East and its Jewish hatred to our country over the past 30 years.
Now Mr. Schumer and his party are trying to take in Gaza refugees, the biggest Jew haters. According to poll data, Three quarters of Gaza residents Supporting the October 7th massacre, 89% view the “Qassam Brigades” terrorists favorably, and of course not one of them views the United States favorably.
It is no coincidence that some of the universities with the highest proportions of foreign students are also the ones experiencing the most anti-Semitic activity. Columbia University, New York University, Northeastern University, and the University of Southern California consistently rank in the top five schools for student intake in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System. in fact, More than 50% of students Students at New York University and Northeastern University are foreign-born.
Perhaps this time, instead of focusing on unconstitutional measures to crack down on hate speech, we can stop hate speech from entering the country.
