Anti-Israel protests should be a ‘wake-up call’: Dana Perino

‘The Five’ discuss antisemitism at elite college campuses and President Biden’s comments on the protests.

Rep. John Carter, R-Texas said "unhinged anti-Israel activists" vandalized his Georgetown office, posting pictures of the display on social media just days after he voted in favor of providing $26 billion in aid to Israel.

On Monday morning, Carter posted an image of the door to his Georgetown, Texas office, splattered with red liquid that spelled out, "Free Gaza."

"Unhinged anti-Israel activists vandalized my Georgetown office," he posted. "Let me make 2 things clear, my support of Israel is unwavering & your intimidation won’t work. Secondly, the parties responsible will be found & will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."

FOX 7 in Austin reported that officers with the Georgetown Police Department responded to Carter’s office at about 8:45 a.m. after reports of a possible burglary.
