(Fox) A Muslim journalist warned the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday that antisemitism has become an “industry” in the United States, and called for the Justice Department to investigate the “malign foreign influence” behind it.
“Antisemitism is now an industry. It is an industry that is being perpetuated, unfortunately, by organizations that even have nonprofit status in America — 501(c)(3)s, 501(c)(4)s,” Asra Nomani, founder of the Pearl Project, told Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. “And these are organizations that are belying their own mission in order to use as a Trojan horse this opposition to Israel to perpetuate this hate. These young students that we have are the targets of that hate.”
“October 7th became their moment. And what has happened is that, unfortunately, pulling our punches and not recognizing their danger in our society serves no one,” Nomani added.
