Congressional candidate and University of Arizona law school professor Kirsten Engel has refused to stand by Israel as her alma maters, Northwestern University and Brown University, blow up with antisemitic protests, a new report shows. 

“Kirsten Engel is not a fighter for Arizona, she is a scared politician who is too afraid of the extreme left to speak up against antisemitism,” National Republican Congressional Committee Spokesperson Ben Petersen said in a statement. 

Engel has “been silent in the face of protests taking place at their alma mater.”

Engel is running to represent Arizona’s sixth district. She is a former legislator, Charles E. Ares Professor of Law at the James E. Rogers College of Law, and an environmental lawyer. 

She received her undergraduate degree from Brown and her J.D. from Northwestern. 

Students at Northwestern set up an encampment on school grounds to demand the administration divest from Israel. Terrorist sympathizers even became violent with police officers.

At Brown, students also set up a pro-Palestine encampment, which they agreed to clear April 30. 

Students across the country are skipping classes and final exams to protest on behalf of Hamas-controlled Palestine. 

At Columbia University, students took over Hamilton Hall overnight, barricading themselves inside. At the University of Texas, more than 80 arrests have occurred.
