Now that antisemitism has become fashionable across the western world, it is a good time to see who cares more about doing what is right and who cares more about doing what is fashionable. Senator Josh Hawley is one of those Republican Senators who has made it clear on what side he stands. He dos not have a major Jewish constituency in his State, but everybody knows that he is willing to stand up to the militant pressure against Israel. Why? He stands for the truth – plain and simple.

"If you come to this country on a student visa, you are here as a guest of the U.S. If you assault a Jewish student on campus, you ought to be out of here. We ought to make it clear to people we are not going to tolerate it.”

The waffling that the heads of Ivy League campuses have exhibited over the last couple of years in the face of grpwing calls to “kill the Jews” or “from the river to the sea,” which basically means “kill the Jews,” has truly woken up many former supporters of Ivy League Colleges.
For at least 2 generations, nearly all Jewish Americans held the importance of a top-level Higher Education as a lofty necessity for advancement of their careers. That has not changed. But the ideological rot that has taken hold in many of the liberal arts departments on college campuses is no longer a secret, and that has tarnished the whole idea of striving to get into the best programs and investing in their skyrocketing tuition costs. From October 7th and onwards, the anti-Israel attitudes have been on full public display. It is not only on Ivy League campuses. It is just most shocking that it took place across nearly the entire cross section of Universities and Colleges.
The proposal to kick out those on visas who are espousing antisemitism is just a small part of the solution. But it is a very important step that declares the moral clarity that is necessary to be heard from the Halls of Congress.
