00:00
Because, as a number of my colleagues on the Democratic side have raised today,
00:11
the anti-Semitism that seems to be given permission from this administration
00:19
through its hiring of avowed anti-Semites
00:24
and through its defunding of a number of programs that would fight anti-Semitism
00:31
stands in stark contrast to a lot of the rhetoric that we hear.
00:38
Now, I am going to do as Mr. Nosenchuk suggested,
00:44
which is I will call out anti-Semitism wherever it exists.
00:49
It certainly exists on the right, Mr. Schneider.
00:52
You are right. That has been there for a long time.
00:55
We've seen it in circles, Unite the Right and other neo-Nazi extremist groups.
01:06
And there is no question that we are seeing a significant rise on the extreme left.
01:12
I am a Democratic elected official who condemns extremism and anti-Semitism
01:22
wherever it is on the extreme right and the extreme left,
01:26
including phrases such as globalize the Intifada or from the river to the sea
01:31
or all sorts of other slogans that are well understood to be anti-Semitic by Jews.
01:41
And as a Jew, I can tell you I'm sick and tired of being told by others
01:47
what is anti-Semitic and what is not.
01:50
But we all need to take a bipartisan view of this,
01:55
a non-partisan view of this,
01:57
if we're going to tackle this problem.
02:00
And I say that to my Democratic colleagues
02:02
and I say it to my Republican colleagues.
02:04
And the reason why you hear frustration on the Democratic side of the aisle here
02:11
is because we hear so much lip service from our Republican colleagues
02:16
about anti-Semitism,
02:19
about how terrible the protests are and the rallies
02:21
and what's going on in universities.
02:23
And I agree.
02:25
But then, on the other hand,
02:28
we see non-profit security grants
02:30
funded at $305 million,
02:34
which is the same as fiscal year 23 before October 7th.
02:38
That protects Jewish synagogues.
02:40
We're seeing a rise in violent hate crimes now
02:45
where Jewish institutions need much more protection.
02:50
We're not getting it.
02:51
We see anti-Semitism being used as a pretext
02:57
to go after immigration policy
03:00
or to go after universities
03:02
that has nothing to do with anti-Semitism.
03:06
And I concur with Mr. Nosenchuk,
03:09
and I have said this to the chairman himself,
03:12
I was very pleased that he introduced
03:15
a very straightforward resolution condemning anti-Semitism.
03:20
Unfortunately, on that same day,
03:22
there was another resolution
03:24
that tried to use anti-Semitism as a pretext
03:27
with the Boulder, Colorado shooting
03:30
related to some immigration policy.
03:33
And I look forward,
03:35
I hope to have a little bit more time to ask some questions,
03:37
but I really want to take this opportunity
03:39
to urge all of my colleagues
03:41
and all of these witnesses here
03:43
to stop playing the blame game.
03:45
And let's focus on anti-Semitism.
03:47
Let's put the funding where it needs to be
03:49
so that we can actually attack the issue.
03:53
And I thank the chairman.
03:55
I yield back.
03:57
The gentleman yields back
03:58
to the gentleman from Georgia.
03:59
The gentleman from Georgia yields back.
04:01
I will now recognize the gentleman from Georgia.
