When asked about anti-Semitism, Biden’s spokie says ‘no credible threat’, talks about hate against Muslims instead: Some anti-Jew rallies in USA after Hamas’ attack

Op India  

On 23rd October, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre talked about the level of concern US President Joe Biden has about the potential rise of anti-Semitism in the light of the Israel-Hamas war. KARINE JEAN-PIERRE: "Muslims and those perceived to be Muslim have endured a disproportionate number of hate-fueled attacks" pic.twitter.com/q1WYkpbKmn — RNC Research October 23, 2023 Furthermore, she added that the Homeland Security team has been directed to prioritise the prevention and disruption of such attacks against communities, including Muslim, Arab and Jewish Americans. Anti-Jew rallies have been held in the USA since Hamas attacked Israel Though Jean-Pierre categorically denied any potential threat to the Jewish community in the US, the reality is far from what she said. Notably, Harvard came under fire and lost funding from Jewish billionaires after its students came out in support of terrorist group Hamas’s attack on Israel on 7th October.
