In a Senate hearing on Thursday, dedicated advocates discussed a troubling 500% rise in campus antisemitism, urging stronger university action to protect Jewish students and support Israel amid growing hostility.

“Our research has documented disturbing patterns of foreign influence through financial contributions that coincide with increased antisemitic activity, compromised academic freedom, and distorted campus discourse on issues related to Israel, Jews, and the Middle East.”

“Time and again, Jewish students are subtly told and made to feel that their actual safety is secondary to the political climate of the moment or other considerations.”

During his Senate confirmation hearing for Secretary of State, Senator Marco Rubio defended Israel’s actions in Gaza, questioning how any nation-state could tolerate having a murderous terrorist group like Hamas on its doorstep.

Khader Hadyeh’s Facebook profile is littered with anti-Semitic posts, including a photograph of American presidents from Bill Clinton to Donald Trump wearing kippot.

By Eliana Johnson, The Washington Free Beacon

A donor to Democratic Reps. Jamaal Bowman (N.Y.) and Cori Bush (Mo.) was forcibly removed from a Senate hearing on hate crimes Tuesday after shouting anti-Semitic slurs including “fucking Jews!” and “fuck Israelis!”

As Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) issued remarks from the dais about anti-Semitism, several protesters shouted obscenities from the audience.

The most notable was a man clad in a suit whose stream of invective continued as he was escorted out of the hearing room. “Fucking Jews!” he shouted. “And the Israelis themselves. Talk about the 40,000. Talk about these people. Why it’s about anti-Semitism [sic]?”

Sources identified the man as Khader Hadyeh of Cook County, Ill. Federal Election Commission records indicate that Hadyeh made donations in the spring and summer to embattled “Squad” members Bowman and Bush for $12 and $10, respectively.

Other contributions went to The Six PAC, a political action committee devoted to supporting “rural and progressive democrats running for the House of Representatives.”

Hadyeh also threw $250 behind Mahnoor Ahmad, who ran unsuccessfully in the Democratic primary for Illinois’s Sixth Congressional District against incumbent Sean Casten.

Hadyeh did not respond to a request for comment. The Capitol Police did not respond to a request for comment. Spokesmen for Bowman and Bush did not respond to requests for comment.

Both Bowman and Bush fell to pro-Israel challengers in Democratic primaries after their anti-Israel and anti-Semitic rhetoric came under fire.

Bowman described the claims of Israeli women regarding the sexual abuse they endured at the hands of Hamas on Oct. 7 and after as “propaganda” before reversing course. Bush accused Israel of “ethnic cleansing” and called for a ceasefire less than 10 days after the Oct. 7 massacre.

A man who appears to be Hadyeh’s brother celebrated his actions in a Facebook post that contains video of Hadyeh being escorted out of the hearing by a Capitol Police officer.

The post includes a comment in Arabic that reads, according to Google translate, “Long live a free, pure Arab Palestine without any conditions or restrictions. The occupation is gone and the agents are consigned to the dustbin of history.”

Hadyeh, whose Facebook profile says he is a native of East Jerusalem and includes reels that refer to an “antisemitism psyop,” managed to cough up the money for political donations, though public records indicate the state of Illinois has two active tax liens out on him totaling more than $110,000.

His Facebook profile is littered with anti-Semitic posts, including a photograph of American presidents from Bill Clinton to Donald Trump wearing kippot with the caption, “How much humiliation is US willing to take for Israhell?” Hadyeh’s comment: “Fact!”

Cruz responded to Hadyeh’s vituperation in real time. “You’re now seeing the hate manifesting right here,” Cruz said. “We now have a demonstration of anti-Semitism.”

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) expressed outrage after the hearing, telling Jewish Insider, “Who gets up and yells ‘F***ing Jews’ at an antisemitism hearing? I think it proves our point.”
