Today U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) issued the following statement on the one-year anniversary of the brutal October 7th Hamas attacks on Israel:”One year ago today our great ally Israel was savagely attacked. A year later, they’re still fighting to defend their nation,” Sen. Hawley wrote. “Now more than ever, we must stand with Israel.”
Sen. Hawley has been a vocal supporter of Israel. Last year, the Senate passed his resolution condemning Hamas and the antisemitic student groups on college campuses that celebrated the Oct. 7 attack.
Senator Hawley demanded Secretary Mayorkas terminate a DHS employee who has a documented history of making blatantly antisemitic, pro-Hamas statements.
He has also called for a DOJ investigation into third-party funding behind the violent antisemitic protests that convulsed college campuses across the country, supported deportations and visa cancellations for undocumented students participating in these protests, and exposed Biden administration nominees with antisemitic ties.
