US Senate approves resolution condemning antisemitism in universities

The US Senate passed a bipartisan resolution denouncing antisemitism at universities on Thursday.

This comes just one week after the resolution was blocked by Democrats when Senator Josh Hawley attempted to pass it. 

 "That's why what we're doing today matters and that's why I am pleased today, that we are able now finally, to pass this resolution that explicitly names the rhetoric, explicitly calls out the language of pro-violence, pro-genocide, and says that is wrong,” Hawley said.

“The answer to that kind of hateful, virulent, dangerous speech, is speech with moral purpose. It is language with moral clarity. It is a moral stand that says no, that is wrong. That's not us. That is not the United States of America. And that, Mr. President, is what we are doing right here, right now, on this floor today."
