Washington, DC , NJ Congressman Van Drew vowed to work with the sponsor to reintroduce legislation to cut off federal funding from colleges and universities that allow anti-semitic events on campus following anti-Veterans Day protests at Columbia University. The protests were organized by a group called Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD), which released the following statement regarding Veterans Day, “We reject this holiday and refuse to celebrate it. The American war machine should not be honored for the horrors unleashed on others. Instead, we will celebrate Martyrs Day in honor of those martyred by the Israel-US war machine.”
