Tensions over the nearly two-month-old conflict have ballooned into plenty of street protests, and few venues have drawn more media and political attention than rising antisemitism on the quad. And on Tuesday, the weight of Republican scrutiny will have clear targets as the presidents of Harvard, University of Pennsylvania and Massachusetts Institute of Technology testify on Capitol Hill.
