Ted Cruz: Universities that boycott Israel should lose federal funding

The Washington Post reports:

Sen. Ted Cruz said Thursday that universities that boycott Israel should lose their federal funding.

Cruz's remarks were aimed at the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement, which is gaining traction on college campuses. It calls for U.S. companies and universities to divest from Israel. Cruz has spoken against BDS but sharpened his tone Thursday.

The nation needs a president who will ensure that "if a university boycotts the nation of Israel then that university will forfeit federal taxpayer dollars," Cruz said at the Champion of Jewish Values International Awards Gala here, where he received the Defender of Israel Award. "BDS is premised on a lie and it is antisemitism plain and simple."

The campuses Marxists wouldn't be happen with that.
