U.S. Senator Josh Hawley suggested the Department of Justice investigate funding behind university protests supporting Hamas during anti-Israel protests this week.
Following the Hamas attacks that killed roughly 1,300 Israelis over the weekend, students throughout university campuses gathered to praise the terrorists’ efforts to “free Palestine.”
When speaking with Fox News on Thursday, Hawley slammed organizations at Ivy league schools like Harvard and Columbia, which have supported the terrorists’ actions as justified.
A group of @Harvard students released a statement that begins, "We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence."
The statement continues, but that’s all you need to know.

“You know, and that same institution, Sean, as I recall, was quick to fly the flag of Ukraine over Harvard Yard,” he said. “But now, when Israel is under attack, there are terrorists murdering children, cutting off the heads of babies. They want to wipe Israel off the face of the map. Let’s be honest. They would kill every Jew in the world if they could. That’s what the terrorists want. And to be silent in the face of that or to celebrate it as these crazy student groups are doing?”
“What I want to know is who is funding these student groups,” Hawley continued. “I hope the DOJ is investigating where the money is coming from. Are there terror groups who are part of these networks who are infiltrating our campuses? I mean, this is crazy stuff we’re seeing on these campuses. And for these administrators to have their hand out to take federal money, taxpayer money, and at the same time be silent or silently condone this kind of terrorism — it is just grotesque.”
The Daily Mail revealed perfume giant Jo Malone having distanced itself from company founder Jo Malone and his son, after they were found to be a leaders of the Harvard group Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee.
