The Senate voted Thursday to approve a resolution introduced by Republican Josh Hawley of Missouri that condemned antisemitism and the “repugnant” rhetoric of pro-Hamas supporters on university campuses across the nation, according to multiple reports.
Senate Democrats blocked Hawley’s first attempt at passing the resolution the week prior out of concerns that it would unfairly target pro-Palestinian students. The resolution passed on the second vote Thursday, and Hawley said in a X post that it was important to condemn the attacks by Hamas, a U.S. designated terrorist organization, as “evil.”
Hundreds of students on college campuses across the country released statements and participated in dozens of protests where supporters refused to condemn Hamas or the murder of innocent Israelis. As a result, many donors have withdrawn their millions in funding from Ivy League universities such as Harvard or the University of Pennsylvania after the schools failed to condemn the student’s actions.
Democratic Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen had previously criticized Hawley’s resolution, saying that it was “smearing” student’s “legitimate concerns.” “There are student groups that may have legitimate concerns,” Van Hollen said. “Legitimate concerns about the loss of innocent civilian life in Gaza.”
Hawley’s resolution “fully and completely condemns” both the terrorist attacks perpetrated by Hamas on Oct. 7 that resulted in the death of over 1,400 Israelis and wounded thousands more. The resolution aims at “pro-Hamas student groups” that sympathized “with genocidal violence against the State of Israel and risking the physical safety of Jewish Americans in the United States.”

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: "Our country is going communist!" warned Donald Trump recently. "It's going Marxist, it's going REALLY bad." He added, "The PEOPLE of our country aren't that way – but the people RUNNING it are." Is this just election-season bluster and hyperbole, or can the utterly unthinkable be true?
Incredibly, it is true. In 2023 America, the Democratic Party – its agendas, its core values, its wall-to-wall dishonesty, and its audacious and utterly ruthless methods – are virtually indistinguishable from those of modern-day communists. Compare the Communist Party USA's website, CPUSA.org (where the featured top-of-page story is about "TRANS RIGHTS"), with the Democratic National Committee's website, Democrats.org, and try to discern any substantive difference.
America's plunge into atheistic Marxism in virtually every area of life – from weaponizing government and courts to destroy critics and political opponents, to crushing free speech, to corrupting and brainwashing the nation's children, and much much more – is all stunningly explored in the October issue of WND's critically acclaimed Whistleblower magazine, titled "AMERICA'S COMMUNIST REVOLUTION: How the freest nation in history is rapidly becoming a Marxist police state." Beyond exposing the Marxist takeover of America's key institutions, this explosive special report goes on to reveal how Marxism/communism is ACTUALLY A MAJOR WORLD RELIGION, albeit a false and malevolent one. It unearths what REALLY motivates the "high priests" of this truly dark atheistic faith, which has captivated untold millions and murdered millions more. And it vividly illustrates exactly how and why citizens of the greatest nation in history are now experiencing – to quote Barack Obama's words – "a fundamental transformation of the United States of America." This Whistleblower issue is a crucial wake-up call for all Americans. WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
