On May 10, the Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray asking “whether the FBI had any related undercover employees, online covert employees, or confidential human sources” among what it called “pro-Hamas protests on college campuses.”
By sending the letter, Congress is in effect pressuring the FBI to penetrate the protests with both on-the-ground and online informants (if it hasn’t already). An obvious threat to the freedom of speech and association enshrined in the Constitution, the letter tries to circumvent these concerns by arguing that it is illegal to “endorse” or “espouse” terrorist groups — despite there being no evidence the protesters have done that.
“While we recognize that every American has the right to peacefully protest, individuals who endorse or espouse terrorist activity or support a terrorist organization are patently dangerous, and potentially criminal,” the letter says, citing a law prohibiting providing material support to foreign terrorist groups. (The material support provision only allows for foreign organizations to be designated, so Americans must be tied to a foreign terror group to be prosecuted.)
“The Committees are investigating the sources of funding and financing for groups who are organizing, leading, and participating in pro-Hamas, antisemitic, anti-Israel, and anti-American protests with illegal encampments on American college campuses,” the letter reads. “This investigation relates both to malign influence on college campuses and to the national security implications of such influence on faculty and student organizations.”
I'd say it's the duty of the FBI to investigate a movement that regurgitates anti-Israel jihadist slogans and has been caught on video intimidating and harassing Jews.

Regurgitating slogans, huh? Lmfao such amazing projection going on here…
You mindlessly regurgitate whatever the state department and media decided to tell you about Israel.
You don’t know the history. You’re brainwashed to only see the side you’ve been programmed to support.
@GrumpyLeftistSocialist2wks2W
You know that some of the students are Jews. Nationwide Jews have been protesting for a cease fire.
There are major and minor figures that work in an auxiliary role in the entertainment industry connected to the DRDC. The minor figure is Charles Reinhardt, who worked in some kind of business advisory role for the oft accused of being plants Chapo Trap House and *** Town.
Who with any humanity would not condemn Hamas and the genocidal response of Israel? We do not need a big brain to condemn inhumanity on both sides. It is aborrhent to see killing and killing and killing with no end of killing.

When they don't find any evidence they will manufacture it.
