                               RESOLUTION


 
                   Condemning campus protest backers.

Whereas violent protesters have taken over dozens of spaces on college campuses 
        across the country, impacting the education of thousands of tuition-
        paying students;
Whereas these protesters have called for ``Death to America'' and ``Death to 
        Israel'', a United States ally;
Whereas these protesters have threatened and targeted other students with racist 
        and antisemitic rhetoric and blocked students from attending their 
        classes;
Whereas protesters have torn down and desecrated flags of the United States and 
        replaced them with Palestinian flags;
Whereas Hamas, a radically violent terrorist organization responsible for 
        countless murders and rapes, runs the Palestinian Government;
Whereas terrorist groups in Iran have praised and shown solidarity with these 
        protesters;
Whereas protesters at George Washington University defaced and desecrated a 
        statue of its namesake, the first President of the United States, and a 
        former professor of the school sympathetic to the protesters accosted a 
        Member of this body with racist language;
Whereas protesters at Columbia University took over and occupied a campus 
        building, requiring the New York Police Department to restore order;
Whereas, at Columbia University and the University of Southern California, 
        protester behavior forced the cancellation of commencement ceremonies 
        for graduating students;
Whereas these protests have been funded and organized by leftist groups like 
        Students for Justice in Palestine, IfNotNow, and Within Our Lifetime, 
        all of which received funding from George Soros;
Whereas Students for Justice in Palestine called the deadly attacks on Israeli 
        civilians on October 7, 2023, a ``historic win''; and
Whereas David Rockefeller, Jr., and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund gave to Jewish 
        Voice for Peace, which blames the October 7 attacks on Israel and the 
        United States rather than Hamas: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) condemns the anarchy and insurrection taking place on 
        college campuses as well as the groups organizing it;
            (2) condemns George Soros and all those who are funding the 
        groups behind these protests;
            (3) calls on all politicians and political parties of all 
        ideologies to refuse to accept any contributions for any 
        purpose from organizations and entities funding anti-American 
        and antisemitic demonstrations; and
            (4) calls for a full investigation of all foreign 
        adversaries engaged in promoting and provoking campus and 
        public unrest.
