The House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Oversight announced that it intends to hold a June 24 hearing titled “Rising Threat: America’s battle against antisemitic terror.”

The hearing will address “the domestic conditions giving rise to antisemitic attacks in the United States,” and it will focus on “the different steps the Trump-Vance administration is taking to combat antisemitic terror.”

Kenneth Marcus, founder and chairman of the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law, is one of the scheduled speakers.

“At a time when we are all focused on the conflict between Israel and Iran, we need to make sure we are giving time to the situation that is unfolding between terror and democracy in the United States,” Marcus told JNS.

“We need to activate Congress to ensure safety for Jewish Americans and all Americans,” he added.

Dan Schneider, vice president of free speech at the Media Research Center, is also slated to speak, as is Debra Cooper, who is listed as “chief of digital activism at EndJew Hatred and Jewish Advocacy Research and Writer Group.” (JNS couldn’t find a record of the latter and sought comment from the committee and EndJewHatred.)

“The data shows that Jewish, black and 2SLGBTQI+ communities remain most impacted, year after year,” stated Myron Demkiw, chief of the Toronto Police Service.
“We are shocked and deeply troubled that this hateful symbol expressing antisemitism was raised on a flagpole overlooking Washington Square Park,” a university spokesperson said.
The initiative “reflects a clear recognition that the challenges facing Jewish students and faculty must be addressed directly and seriously,” Dan Gold of UCLA Hillel told JNS.
According to the Diaspora Affairs Ministry, the terrorist group promoted genocide claims against Israel at the ICJ and influenced international media coverage.
