Cruz interrupted by anti-Israel agitator who yelled, ‘F—ing Jews’ during hearing on ‘hate’
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, was interrupted during a congressional hearing dedicated to discussing “hate” on Tuesday by an anti-Israel agitator who stood up shouting “F—ing Jews.”
During the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing titled, “A Threat to Justice Everywhere: Stemming the Tide of Hate Crimes in America,” Cruz discussed soaring antisemitism on college campuses in the wake of Oct. 7.
“Antisemitism is a unique, historic form of evil, and over millennia, it is manifested in violence, mass murder and genocide,” Cruz said. “October 7th was one of the darkest days in human history when terrorists murdered over 1,200 Israelis and took 251 hostages. Women and girls were raped. It was the single largest mass murder of Jews in a day since the Holocaust. In the wake of October 7th, we have seen antisemitism explode across the United States and across the world, but especially on college campuses.”
After listing examples of antisemitic and pro-Hamas messages hurled toward Jewish students, Cruz called out the Biden-Harris administration.
