Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) called out colleges and universities for allowing student groups to spread anti-Israel messages on campuses across America.
“For colleges to allow pro Hamas demonstrations on their campuses… not only do you call it out, you disallow these universities to access federal dollars,” Blackburn told KWAM’s Ben Deeter. “Taxpayers do not want their dollars going to fund terrorists.”
Blackburn referred a student group from George Washington University that projected “Glory to our martyrs” and “Free Palestine from the River to the Sea” on the side of its library building.The U.S. Senate should pass my bipartisan resolution immediately to condemn this disgusting behavior on our college campuses. https://t.co/PZpclFBgo6
