Congressman Mike Lawler, who introduced the Antisemitism Awareness Act in Congress, began his keynote speech at the 50th commencement for Touro University earlier today with this quip, “Rashida Tlaib is so sorry she couldn’t be here with us today.”
He followed that with impassioned words supporting Israel and encouraging the students to stand up and join him in the fight against antisemitism.

Making a speech denouncing anti-Semitism at Touro College is meaningless. What would matter is someone making the same speech at one of the “elite” universities where anti-Semitism is widely supported by the faculty and administration.
