While tensions in the Middle East rage, concerns are still mounting over antisemitism at U.S. universities. On Capitol Hill Thursday, collegiate leaders faced questions from House lawmakers on the issue, addressing the challenge between balancing free speech and keeping students safe.

The hearing, which was dubbed "Calling for Accountability: Stopping Antisemitic College Chaos", included several university presidents who dealt with violent protests, including UCLA Chancellor Gene Block.

"I'm fully aware that many of our Jewish students have had to confront rhetoric and images on campus that any reasonable person would find repugnant. Trust me, I understand their pain. I've lived it myself as a Jewish kid growing up in the Catskill region of New York with relatives who were Holocaust survivors," Block said.

    I hope all of the Jewish students are okay
  • Texas standing for Jesus, Israel and all of the Jewish people throughout the world. Also praying for all.

    Winegar needs to be charged and Schill has no spine with his corrupt actions supporting the harm done by supporters of Palestine. Neither will protect the Jewish people or communities.
  • Who in their right mind would ever do such a thing, can they get any more shameful. They aren't hurting anyone but themselves, they will stand in a higher court one day. My thoughts and prayers are with the Jewish people. God protect them and keep them.
  • Unbelievable! If hypocrisy was an Olympic sport, many of our world's leaders would be Gold Medalists.
  • @leewilliams5341
    I pray that Jewish student sue both universities. The leadership at both colleges is weak.

    Why WON'T you discuss individual faculty members on the Antisemitism Committee, who are in fact, FOR those who openly call for Israel's destruction? You have a double standard here, and their appointment to this office is a sick joke! You may as well disband.. That's how helpful such a person will be! They are fighting AGAINST those for whom this office was set up to defend and help. So, why won't you talk about this? Be honest, if you can..

    She has a conflict of interest and is one of the staff members in line to be sacked, crazy. No faith in this College being able to fairly conduct an investigation.
  • @bjbboz3404

    The University President's literal name is "Schill"..reality keeps pouring on the irony.
