President warned of ‘surge of antisemitism’ amid Israel military’s deadly attacks that have killed more than 34,000 people in Gaza
warned against a “ferocious surge of antisemitism in America” at a Holocaust event Tuesday, as student protests against Israel’s military strikes on Gaza and the resulting humanitarian crisis continued to roil campuses across the US.
“Now here we are not 75 years later, but just seven-and-a-half months later, people are already forgetting that Hamas unleashed this terror … I have not forgotten, and we will not forget.” But he went on to decry antisemitic posters and “slogans calling for the annihilation of Israel” on college campuses. “Jewish students blocked, harassed, attacked while walking to class,” Biden said.
Hours before the president delivered his speech, police in riot gear cleared a protest encampment at the University of Chicago. The action began at about 4.30am in the Quad where hundreds of students had been living in tents for more than a week.
