In response to the contentious pro-Palestine protests disrupting college campuses across the country, a group of GOP senators, led by Sen. Tom Cotton, issued a firm demand to the Biden administration to take action and “restore order” to the affected campuses.

In a letter addressed to Education Secretary Miguel Cardona and Attorney General Merrick Garland, 27 Senate Republicans urged immediate intervention to quell what they described as anti-Semitic mobs targeting Jewish students.

The protests, which have led to the effective shutdown of campuses such as Columbia University, New York University, and Yale University, have seen students advocating for divestment from Israel and its affiliates between the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

However, these demonstrations have been met with bipartisan condemnation for their alleged anti-Semitic undertones and incitement to violence.

The senators called upon the Biden administration to align its condemnation of anti-Semitism with concrete action, stressing the urgency of protecting Jewish students and restoring order on college campuses.

The demand for action follows President Biden’s recent statement denouncing the outbreak of anti-Semitism but underscores the need for immediate and tangible steps to address the situation.

The unrest has prompted Columbia University to announce a transition to hybrid classes for the remainder of the semester, indicating the important impact of the protests on academic activities and campus life.

The senators’ letter comes on the heels of calls from Sen. Cotton and Sen. Josh Hawley for President Biden to deploy the National Guard to disperse the protests, reflecting escalating concerns over the disruption caused by the demonstrations.

The GOP senators’ demand underscores the gravity of the situation and the imperative for swift action to safeguard the well-being of Jewish students and restore normalcy to college campuses in the midst of escalating tensions surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
