Republican leaders in the House are pledging to counteract the growing anti-Israel demonstrations on college campuses during the upcoming fall semester.

In New York City, Columbia University has become a hotbed of controversial activity, with activists already beginning to deface property and stage demonstrations.

""Columbia University officials will be held accountable for any antisemitic violence on campus that targets Jewish students, as Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., has warned. If universities fail to do so, Congress will take action," Planet Chronicle Digital reported."

Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., the GOP Conference Chair, stated that Columbia University has repeatedly allowed radical pro-Hamas mobs to put Jewish members of their community at risk and allowed antisemitic hate to take root at a once-acclaimed institution. House Republicans will use all available tools to demand immediate action from Columbia University to protect the Jewish students who wish to pursue their education without fear.

The pro-terrorist mob is back at Columbia because the Democrats have empowered and enabled the antisemites in their party, according to House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn.

Emmer stated that House Republicans would maintain their message of support for Israel and Jewish students in the U.S.

Meanwhile, Mike Johnson, R-La., urged the White House to condemn the protests.

"Johnson wrote on X that the pro-Terrorist, antisemitic mob is back on the first day of class at Columbia University and the Biden-Harris Administration should condemn this mob immediately."

Planet Chronicle Digital reached out to the White House for a response.

During the Manhattan demonstrations on Tuesday, at least one protester was arrested and footage shows activists pushing barricades. Additionally, a second person was taken into custody outside of Columbia's sister school, Barnard College.

The GOP has embraced Israel as a divisive topic among Democrats, who are increasingly divided over their stance on U.S.-Israel relations.

Anti-Israel progressives have lost primary elections, demonstrating that the left can regulate its own anti-Semitism issue, according to moderate Democrats.
