WASHINGTON — U.S. representatives from Austin and other progressive Texans voted against a House resolution condemning antisemitism at university campuses and the "evasive and dismissive" response by elite higher education officials "to simply condemn such action." Congress on Wednesday in a bipartisan three-page resolution slapped back at the presidents of Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Pennsylvania, who, in a U.S. House hearing a week earlier, failed to condemn calls for genocide of Jews at their campuses, lawmakers say. The resolution calls for the university presidents' ouster and had almost total GOP support but only a little more than one-third from deeply divided Democrats.

Consider this: The most dangerous place to be a child in the world today is Gaza. That’s the assessment of Catherine Russell, the executive director of UNICEF, who is not a bleeding-heart radical but a former ambassador and veteran lawyer who worked for Presidents Biden and Barack Obama.
