I guess they don’t have the lobbying power for a foreign country like AIPAC does. If this college moves to Israel to support apartheid, maybe then they can get US taxpayer money.

100 billion to fund a special ops force to hunt sex traffickers in America. Let's put our money into protecting our kids and not mutilating them so pedophiles can later seek an age reduction for consensual sex with children.
