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
