During a Senate Judiciary hearing on hate crimes, Senator Ted Cruz condemned the rising antisemitism in the U.S., particularly following the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel. His remarks were interrupted by pro-Palestinian protestors, with one shouting explicit antisemitic comments, which Cruz pointed out as a direct manifestation of hate. Cruz criticized Democrats for not holding dedicated hearings on antisemitism, arguing that college campuses have become 'vile incubators' of hatred against Jews, citing a sharp increase in antisemitic incidents. He also accused the Biden-Harris administration of failing to address the growing violence and intimidation faced by pro-Israel advocates. Cruz's comments highlighted a stark partisan divide over antisemitism and the broader implications of recent events in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The incident underscored the escalating tensions surrounding discussions of antisemitism in American politics today.
