In Holocaust remembrance, Biden condemns antisemitism sparked

by college protests and Gaza war

By ZEKE MILLER
AP White House Correspondent
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe
Biden on Tuesday decried a “fero-
cious surge” in antisemitism on college
campuses and around the globe in
the months since Hamas attacked
Israel and triggered a war in Gaza,
using a ceremony to remember victims
of the Holocaust to also denounce
new waves of violence and hateful
rhetoric toward Jews.
Biden said that on Oct. 7, Hamas
“brought to life” that hatred with the
killing of more than 1,200 Israelis, mostly
civilians, and warned that, already,
people are beginning to forget who
was responsible.
The president used his address to renew
his declarations of unwavering sup-
port for Israel in its war against Hamas
even as his relationship with Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
has grown increasingly strained over
Israel’s push to invade the southern
Gaza city of Rafah, which would surely
worsen the already dire humanitarian
crisis for Palestinians. President Joe Biden, left, greets Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R-La., joined by House Majority Leader Steve Scalise,
R-La., and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., as they honor the memory of the 6 million Jews killed in the
Holocaust during the annual Days of Remembrance ceremony at the Capitol in Washington, Tuesday, May 7, 2024.
