While violent cases of anti -Semitism break out through the country this year, Fox News Digital has taken a look at the former president Joe BidenLog to assimilate anti -Semitism and Islamophobia.
While the former president rightly condemned the hatred directed against the Jews following October 7, 2023, the Israelis massacre and the subsequent war in Gaza, Biden was almost always sure to draw an equivalence with the anti-Muslim feeling.
“In recent years, too much hatred has given too much oxygen, fueling racism, the rise in anti -Semitism, Islamophobia here in America,” said Biden, a few days after the breakup of war, in a speech at the older listening hours of the White House. He added: “We cannot remain silent and silent when it happens. We must, without equivocal, denounce anti -Semitism. We must also, unequivocal, denounce Islamophobia.”
Biden added during a human rights campaign event in October 2023: “We must reject hatred in everything, because history has taught us again and again, anti -SemitismIslamophobia, homophobia, transphobia, they are all connected. Hatred towards an unanswered group opens the door to more hatred towards more groups, more often, regularly. “”
Cases of anti-Semitism increased new heights last year, with the conclusion of the anti-de-diffamation (ADL) league in a new report that there was 9,354 anti -Semitic incidents in 2024, An increase of 5% compared to 2023 and an astonishing increase of 926% since it started to follow this data in 1979.

The war in Israel initially fueled the flames of anti -Semitism on campuses in the form of demonstrations, threatening the graffiti and the students reporting that they had the impression of being “an open season for the Jews on our campuses”. The demonstrations have been strengthened to the point that Jewish students from certain schools, including Columbia University, were warned to leave the campus for their own security.
Agitators and student demonstrators flooded university campuses at the national level of the school year to protest against war, which also included doping anti -Semitism bodies And the Jewish students by speaking publicly that they did not feel safe on certain campuses.
Demonstrators Campus of Columbia University In New York, for example, resumed the Hamilton Hall building of the school, while schools such as the UCLA, Harvard and Yale worked to eliminate the camps of spiral students where the demonstrators demanded their elite schools completely disintegrating from Israel.

While the demonstrations reached a fever field last year, Biden again assimilated anti -Semitism to Islamophobia, even if it was clear that the Jews were the group targeted with harassment and violence.
“There should be no room for a campus, no place in America for anti -Semitism or threats of violence against Jewish students. There is no place for hate speech or violence of any kind, whether anti -Semitism, Islamophobia or discrimination against American Arabs or American Palestinians,” said Biden.
“It's just bad. There is no room for racism in America.”
Biden was confronted with the condemnation of the conservatives and other criticisms so as not to simply denounce anti-Semitism as Jews in the United States, the demonstrations were confronted with demonstrations and cases of anti-Semitism.
“At a time when no university campus is blocked on Islamophobia, Joe Biden felt the need to spend so much time in his speech denouncing Islamophobia and discrimination against Arab Americans '' because he made anti -Semitism. He is never able to simply call anti -Semitism“Radio host Erick Erickson commented X in May 2024 while campus demonstrations against Israel raged.

“Biden repeats his two sides,” veteran James Hutton last year of previous comments from Biden. “Only Jewish students are raped. Biden knows it, but he really wants these votes in Michigan.”
“Biden is incapable of simply condemning anti-Semitism. Strong another ambiguity. This administration is embarrassment,” wrote Kerry Rom, deputy communications director for President Mike Johnson, R-La., Wrote on X last year.
