Prof. Israeli calls for Trump to block funding to universities promoting anti-Israel sentiment

A professor at Columbia University is urging US President Donald Trump to block certain institutions from receiving federal funding due to their perceived ties to anti-Israel activity and antisemitism, citing a surge in such incidents since recent Hamas attacks on October 7. The calls come as universities and colleges across the country have experienced an increase in protests and disruptions by pro-Hamas agitators. The professor's request highlights the growing concern about the rise of anti-Semitism and anti-Israel sentiment on US campuses. Trump has not yet responded to these requests, but his administration has taken steps to address similar concerns.
