The Hill Staff

30 April 2024 at 1:28 pm

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) will address the increased antisemitism at U.S. colleges and universities at a press event Tuesday.

Although related to the wave of protests against Israel’s war on Hamas in Gaza, reports of antisemitism describe the threat of personal harm to individuals that goes far beyond political demonstration or even civil disobedience.

Students at Columbia University have said their institution’s administration has failed to address the escalating crisis on campus.

Johnson is slated to speak at 2:15 p.m. EDT.

US says Iran asked for help after helicopter crash
STORY: :: US says Iran asked for assistance after a helicopter carrying its president crashed :: Washington, D.C. :: May 20, 2024:: Matthew Miller, US State Department Spokesperson"We were asked for assistance by the Iranian government. We did make clear then that we would offer assistance, as we would do, in response to any request by a foreign government in this sort of situation. Ultimately, we were not able to provide that assistance." "We have been quite clear that Ebrahim Raisi was a brutal participant in the repression of the Iranian people for nearly four decades." "That said, we regret any loss of life. Don't want to see anyone die in a helicopter crash. But that doesn't change the reality of his record, both as a judge and as the President of Iran. That he has blood on his hands. I think most importantly, our fundamental approach to Iran has not changed and will not change." "We will continue to support the people of Iran to defend their human rights, their aspirations to an open, free society and democratic participation," Miller said as the U.S. expressed its "official condolences."

Iran president helicopter crash: The 'butcher of Tehran' had a fearsome reputation - and many will be fearing instability
Ebrahim Raisi was one of Iran's hardest of hardliners, a fanatical and absolute believer in the Iranian revolution and its mission. A man who launched the first direct attack on Israel in his country's history and a hardliner on whose watch hundreds of Iranians have been killed in the brutal repression of recent women-led protests, Mr Raisi had a huge amount of blood on his hands. Mr Raisi was personally involved in two of the darkest periods of Iranian repression.
