Ohio Rep. Davidson 'confident' Congress will investigate anti-Israel protests' funding

Congressman Warren Davidson, R-Ohio said Thursday that he is sure that the House will investigate what groups are funding anti-Israel protests all over college campuses. 

"I feel very confident," Davidson answered on the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show on the matter. "If you look at the hearings that we've already had in the Education and Labor Education Workforce Committee, they've highlighted some of this."

Over the past few weeks, anti-Israel protests have popped up all over college campuses, notably at Columbia University where classes were moved online to protect Jewish students.

According to a recent report from Just the News, many student groups that have organized the pro-Palestine encampments are official student organizations, often eligible for funding from the very administration they are disrupting. 

"Wherever these protests are going on, there's ... a right to free speech, but there's not a right to harass and intimidate and bully your classmates," Davidson said. 

Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters said that universities need to be held accountable for the antisemitism happening at these protests. 

"When you have college professors that are out speaking antisemitism to students out pushing this anti-American and anti-Israel propaganda, they need to be fired," he said on the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. "[W]hen you have students from overseas that are coming over here and fomenting hate and promoting terrorism on college campuses, their scholarships should be pulled and they should be sent back home."
