House Republicans featured four students at a press conference ahead of the presidents of American, Harvard, MIT and Penn testifying before the Committee on Education & the Workforce.
Bella Ingber, a junior at the Manhattan school: “Being a Jew at NYU has meant being physically assaulted in NYU’s library by a fellow student while I was wearing an American-Israeli flag, and having my attacker still roam freely throughout the campus.”
“They’re so well-spoken and it sends a shiver down your spine here,” said House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.). “This is happening in America. It’s absolutely outrageous.”
“Being a Jew at NYU is experiencing how ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion’ is not a value that NYU extends to its Jewish students,” says NYU student Bella Ingber on the appalling hatred she has endured since October 7 — while leftist administrators do nothing.
“I should not be here today…I should be taking in…my senior year of college…I am because 36 hours ago, I, along with most of campus, sought refuge in our rooms as classmates and professors chanted proudly for the genocide of Jews. ” – Penn student Eyal Yakoby.
Antisemitism has no place on campus — or anywhere in America.
@HouseGOP applauds, Talia, Bella, Eyal, and Jonathan for standing against vile hatred at their colleges and for speaking out at the Capitol today in defense of the freedoms enshrined in our Constitution. pic.twitter.com/clyUYZ5uZV— Speaker Mike Johnson (@SpeakerJohnson) December 5, 2023

"I am the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors. We are not going anywhere. Antisemitism and the support for terror should have no home at NYU or any other college campus. We made the promise of 'never again.' And never again is now." – @nyuniversity student Bella Ingber. pic.twitter.com/I5XiYH6P4Q

Watch full press conference below: “Holding Campus Leaders Accountable and Confronting Antisemitism”
“Never again” is heresy. It assumes it’s up to us, not God.
Jonathan Frieden, the Harvard Law student is a graduate of Rambam.
To Robert
God commanded us to cooperate with Him in improving the world. Eliminating Hamas which is utter evil is improving the world.
Your comment is myopic and stupid.
@anonymous I agree!!
Why is nothing being done about this? In America if this happened after 9/11 this would have been addressed immediately and swiftly. Why is there no Jewish governing body who can address this?
Anonymous,
Of course we need to do what we need to do.
But the implication is that it is in our hands is heresy.
We can try our best without haughtily saying it is in our hands.
You comment not only betrayed your ignorance, it was also rude.
And I love how anonymous agreed with anonymous 🤣🤣.
US supreme court needs to rule on the cowardice and negligence of US institutions of “higher learning”
Now it’s not a time to argue. We can only win when we support each other.
