Biden speaks out against antisemitism on U.S. campuses during Holocaust remembrance.
President Joe Biden reiterated his stance against antisemitism on college campuses and expressed his determination to remember the more than 1,100 victims of the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas. The attack was the catalyst for Israel’s subsequent military offensive in Gaza, resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands of Palestinians.
Speaking at a ceremony commemorating the Holocaust Days of Remembrance at the U.S. Capitol, Biden honored the 6 million Jews who perished at the hands of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime. He emphasized the importance of not forgetting the recent acts of terror and violence perpetrated by Hamas.
Biden highlighted the rise of antisemitism in the aftermath of the Oct. 7 attack, particularly on college campuses where Jewish students have faced harassment and discrimination. He unequivocally denounced such behavior, emphasizing that there is no place for hate speech or violence of any kind in American society.
Despite facing criticism from some quarters for his handling of the Israel-Palestine conflict, Biden reiterated his unwavering support for the safety and security of the Jewish people and the state of Israel. He emphasized the importance of upholding the laws of war and protecting civilians, even in the midst of a turbulent and complex geopolitical situation.
Looking ahead to the 2024 presidential election, Biden’s approach to foreign policy and the Middle East conflict will continue to be a subject of intense debate and scrutiny. His commitment to finding a peaceful resolution to the longstanding conflict while ensuring the security of Israel remains a central pillar of his administration’s agenda.
