House Passes Resolution Condemning Antisemitism, Support for Hamas on College Campuses

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.

    “Massie…cited his reason for doing was due to First Amendment concerns.” So if the shoe was on the other foot and there was a proposed amendment to bar anti-Black rhetoric Massie would automatically vote against that too? NOT ON YOUR LIFE! What a hypocrite.
