A subcommittee of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce plans to hold a hearing about Jew-hatred in health care.

The hearing, titled Bad Medicine: Politics, Unions and Antisemitism in Health Care, is scheduled for May 20 in the Rayburn House Office Building. (JNS sought comment from the committee.)

It is to be held by the Subcommittee on Health, Employment, Labor and Pensions, which Rep. Rick Allen (R-Ga.) chairs. It is to be live-streamed.

“In this political environment, he may be as reliable a supporter as possible that the Democratic caucus would sign off on for the position,” political science scholar Dan Schnur told JNS.
“Anyone who attempts to pose a threat or attack Israel will face devastating consequences,” said Danny Danon, Israeli ambassador to the global body.
“For the love of God, if Israel is not capable of creating an investigation committee, then I think it is suitable and appropriate that the good people of the United States, the people in Congress, do provide us the answers that we’re looking for,” Ruby Chen said.
“Not even the Wikimedia Foundation knows who any of the editors are on contentious topics,” Daniel Kelley of the Anti-Defamation League told JNS.
