Rep. Summer Lee Challenges Netanyahu's Criticism of College Protests

U.S. Representative Summer Lee refutes Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's claim that college protests are antisemitic, emphasizing the need for a new direction in U.S. policy towards Israel.

Rep. Summer Lee, during an appearance on 'Face the Nation', countered Netanyahu's characterization of U.S. college protests as 'antisemitic mobs'.
Lee highlighted the solidarity among students of diverse backgrounds in the protests, arguing against the notion that criticism of Israel is inherently antisemitic.
The protests, largely peaceful, have been calling for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict, with students advocating for a change in U.S. foreign policy.
Netanyahu's remarks were criticized by Lee as a distraction from the students' message, which calls for a shift in policy rather than annihilation of Israel.
Lee also expressed concerns about diminished enthusiasm among college students for voting for President Biden, citing a need for leadership to better address their concerns.
