Zein El-Amine (Photo Above) On Thursday, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) was among several members of Congress to visit the pro-Hamas encampment at George Washington University to see the extent of the occupation and the damage it has caused. During his visit, Donalds was interrupted by an older pro-Hamas protester who proceeded to yell at Donalds and call him a "race traitor" and "Uncle Tom" over his support of Israel and his stand against antisemitism. Rep. Donalds' only response was to observe that the man seemed to be a little old to be a student before resuming his remarks to others on the campus.

A Google search also showed El-Amine, who spends a lot of time on Twitter pushing Hamas propaganda, as an "Adjunct Instructor of Critical Race Gender and Culture Studies" at American University in Washington, D.C. His spring 2024 curriculum was noted as "Topics in Arab World Studies: Arab [History] through Arab Novels." While I certainly wouldn't put it past an actual student to use those same slurs against Donalds, the fact that it was a lecturer who uttered them explains quite a bit in the context of what we're seeing take place on campuses across the country. Cornell law professor Bill Jacobson* summed things up rather succinctly after seeing the video and learning the man's identity: 'Nuff said. *Full disclosure: I also write for Prof. Jacobson's website, LegalInsurrection.com.
