Haley vows to strip tax-exempt status from colleges that do not 'acknowledge antisemitism'
Haley addressed ongoing antisemitism on college campuses following Hamas' Oct. 7 terror attack in Israel that killed over 1,200 people.
She delivered a message to American colleges and universities: "If you're not going to protect these students, if you're not going to acknowledge antisemitism, we'll take your tax-exempt status away. That will fix it, and that will take care of it for good."
"Biden made a mistake not including anti-Zionism in the definition of antisemitism," she said. "If you don't think that Israel has a right to exist, that is antisemitic. We will change the definition so that every government, every school has to acknowledge the definition for what it is."
Haley doubled down on her previous calls to ban the social media platform TikTok, alleging that the app has negatively impacted the views of younger Americans when it comes to the attacks on Israel perpetrated by the terrorist organization Hamas.
"For every 30 minutes that someone watches TikTok every day, they become 17% more antisemitic, more pro-Hamas based on doing that. We now know that 50% of adults 18-25 think that Hamas was warranted in what they did with Israel."
Haley referred to a study published last month by Anthony Goldbloom, the former CEO of data science company Kaggle, that found that spending at least a half-hour each day on TikTok increases the chances by 17% that a survey respondent holds antisemitic views.
