Opposition Leader Yair Lapid calls on the Biden administration to act as American university campuses are roiled by pro-Palestinian demonstrations against Israel, some of which have included calls for violence and alleged harassment of Jewish students.

“What’s happening on American college campuses is unforgivable,” Lapid says in a statement on X, formerly Twitter, “It is antisemitism, it is support for terrorism, it is support for Hamas which murders LGBT people and oppresses women.”

“The administration cannot stand by, it has to intervene,” he adds.
