Pompeo Warns Against Tolerating Antisemitic Hate on US Campuses After Six-Month Rise by Over 360% since Hamas’ Deadly Attacks

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo speaks out on the escalating issue of antisemitic hate at colleges across America, particularly following Hamas’ terror attacks against Israel six months ago and President Biden’s shifting stance towards their Middle Eastern ally. The recent violent protests by pro-Hamas mobs threatening and attacking Jewish students through spreading anti-Semitic hatred should not be tolerated in the United States as it has no place here, according to Pompeo. He warns that allowing any quarter for such speech could lead us down a dangerous path reminiscent of Germany’s Nazi era. Incidents of antisemitism have risen by over 360% since October 7th when Hamas launched deadly attacks on innocent Jews and hostages, resulting in the death of more than 1,200 individuals with close to 250 people being held captive. Pompeo emphasizes that while there can be disagreements regarding plans or prospects for peace between Israel and Palestinian territories, propagandists who advocate anti-Semitic speech seeking destruction against Jews and the state of Israel cross a line and should face criminal charges instead. The former Secretary of State urges swift action to protect Jewish students from these violent protesters on college campuses across America as he believes that tolerance for faith-based harassment or violence is both evil and unlawful, especially when it undermines the integrity of pedagogy at universities like Columbia where classes have been moved online due to protests. Pompeo calls upon President Biden’s administration to continue rooting out antisemitic acts worldwide while displaying global leadership on combating hate towards Jewish people both locally and globally, similar to how former US president Harry S Truman recognized its significance by being the first world leader in 1948. The article also calls upon American institutions of higher learning who fail or refuse to protect their students against these protesters threatening or harming their rights-to action-while further implying financial boycotts, board resignations and visa cancellations for foreign nationals involved in such activities at universities like Columbia that have failed to take swift actions.
