Pro-Palestinian protesters repeatedly interrupted a congressional
hearing dedicated to examining the state of free-speech rights in higher-education amid rising antisemitism across the U.S.
Anti-Israel protesters periodically disrupted the testimony of six
witnesses during the House Judiciary hearing on Wednesday.
Immediately after Judiciary chairman Jim Jordan (R., Ohio) swore in
the witnesses, a protester stood up with a sign reading,
�Pro-Palestine [doesn�t equal] antisemitism.� He shouted, �Over 10,000
people have been killed, and you�re trying to silence the free speech
of students.�
There were several instances of interruptions at the beginning of the
hearing before the first witness could speak.
�We appreciate people being here, but the committee has to be in
order,� Jordan said, as he was interrupted by a protester shouting
that Representative Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) was silenced over her
anti-Israel sentiments. The Palestinian-American congresswoman was
officially censured by the House on Tuesday night, with 22 Democrats
joining most Republicans in approving the resolution.

We will not be silenced.
