33 Democrats voted to defund universities over Israel boycotts
House passed a bill 237-169 that cuts federal funding from any university that boycotts Israeli companies or institutions, including those in occupied settlements. 33 Democrats crossed the aisle to join Republicans on this.
This isn't about free speech or academic freedom anymore. It's about forcing alignment with Israeli policy as a condition of federal money. The bill treats Palestinian rights activism as disqualifying behavior for American institutions.
FINAL VOTE: The bill just passed the House by a vote of 237 to 169. 33 Democrats joined all but two Republicans in voting for it.
