Florida University President Ben Sasse vowed to protect Jewish students and protect free speech as pro-Palestinian sentiment continues to show its face at U.S. universties.
Sasse, a former U.S. Senator for Nebraska, says his university has the largest population of Jewish students of any university in the country. Student groups held a vigil commemorating the at least 1,300 people killed in Israel during Hamas' unprecedented October 7 attack.
At other college campuses, however, pro-Palestinian student groups have shouted slogans praising Hamas and the slaughter of Jews. Sasse challenged wuniversities to "do some educating" and read the Hamas charter, which explicitly calls for the extermination of the Jewish people.
Sasse went on to say that many U.S. students expressing support for Palestinians are likely unaware of tyhe violence called for in the Hamas charter and are merely "confused" by their own ignorance.
