WASHINGTON —Missouri U.S. Senator Josh Hawley sent a letter to President Biden calling on him to mobilize the National Guard to protect Jewish American students in response to anti-Israel, pro-terrorist demonstrations that have broken out on college campuses.
"On college campuses across the United States, Jewish Americans are at risk [...] In your statement on Passover, you stated that 'in recent days, we’ve seen harassment and calls for violence against Jews. This blatant Antisemitism is reprehensible and dangerous – and it has absolutely no place on college campuses, or anywhere in our country.' Now, you must take action to match those words," wrote Senator Hawley.
"You must immediately mobilize the National Guard and any other authorities necessary to ensure the safety of Jewish American students and citizens," Hawley continued.
Last October, the Senate unanimously passed Senator Hawley's resolution condemning Hamas and the antisemitic rhetoric emanating from campus student groups, which have continued to celebrate the Oct. 7 terrorist attack against Israel. The passage of Senator Hawley's resolution came after Democrats initially blocked the measure.
