Johnson said Wednesday that university campuses are being taken over by extremist ideologies.

Prime Minister Johnson referred to the growing number of anti-Israel protests across the United States. He pointed out that students at the school openly chanted “Death to America” ​​and sided with Hamas terrorists.

While he was speaking, agitators could be heard trying to disrupt his speech.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson didn’t hesitate to call them pro-Hamas supporters, adding: “This has to stop.”

Johnson also said he had met with the university’s president, Minoush Shafiq, and asked him to resign if he was unable to immediately bring order to the chaos.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) accused Johnson of inciting hatred during a speech at Columbia University.

Omar said in an interview Wednesday that it was no surprise that Johnson had stoked anger and hatred. She claimed he endangered the lives of young people at the school encampment.

Omar argued that the Speaker and other members of the House were just putting on a show.

Omar has been an outspoken opponent of war in Israel and has called for a ceasefire in the conflict.
