Possible Terrorist Ties to U.S. Campus Protests

The current wave of anti-Israel demonstrations on U.S. college campuses appears to have ties to organizations that might have either received funds from or provided funds to Hamas.

While President Biden was right, if late, to condemn on May 2 the non-peaceful aspects of the demonstrations, he and his administration must recognize and respond to the possible involvement of international and domestic groups connected to Hamas and other terrorist organizations. Similarly, while Congress has initiated important steps to hold university administrators accountable, it should investigate whether and to what extent foreign terrorist groups maintain ties to these demonstrations, particularly any direct organization or funding.
