On the Monday, June 2, episode of Fox News' Special Report, guest host Shannon Bream revealed shocking FBI data that captures the rise in bigotry against Jewish people.
"Anti-Jewish hate crimes — the latest data that they have between 2022 and 2023 — [is] up 63%, and there's a lot of speculation now about what we're seeing on our college campuses, how that's actually for some people going beyond rhetoric and turning into very dangerous and in some cases fatal action," Bream said.

Brit Hume noted how many academic leaders have been complacent while their Jewish students live in fear.
"You remember when those college presidents said — when asked about calls for the elimination of Israel — basically, that whether that was violating their codes of conduct would depend on whether they crossed the line from talk into action," Hume recalled.
"Well, there's been a lot of action, as the statistics you cited demonstrate," he continued. "Even though we don't apparently have any fatalities at this point, this was a particularly hideous attack, [a] frightening attack. You know, it could happen in the streets of any American city, with lots of people around."

Brit Hume later noted that prejudice against Jewish people is a global concern.
"I think that it illustrates that this antisemitism is a force in the world — it's a historic force — and it has reared its ugly head in a major way inside the United States of America and needs to be clamped down on hard," he said.

Donald Trump's administration has been taking action against international students who voiced their concerns about the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
"You know, this attack supports the Trump administration's arguments about immigration," Brit Hume claimed.
"But it also raises the question of, okay, that's fine, but now you're president, Mr. Trump, and these things continue to happen. You need to be more effective," he continued.
He then softened his comment, adding that "at least a lot of people may say that" about Trump, who's "certainly trying."
