I am sure that this most recent speech by6 Biden is to placate AIPAC and their money. He went before the audience and spewed crap.

Biden in an effort to keep money flowing made what has been called his ‘antisemitism’ speech.

President Biden on Tuesday condemned what he called “a ferocious surge of antisemitism in America and around the world.” His speech at a DC ceremony remembered victims of the Holocaust and referenced the ongoing pro-Palestinian protests at college campuses:

• Ancient hatred: “We’re at risk of people not knowing the truth,” Biden said of the Holocaust, per the AP. “This hatred continues to lie deep in the hearts of too many people in the world.” He asked Americans to push back against an “ancient desire to wipe out the Jewish people off the face of the Earth.”
  Hamas: “People are already forgetting, are already forgetting that Hamas unleashed this terror,” Biden said of the Oct. 7 attack on Israel. “It was Hamas that brutalized Israelis. It was Hamas that took and continues to hold hostages. I have not forgotten.”
• Campuses: “On college campuses, Jewish students [have been] blocked, harassed, attacked, while walking to class,” Biden said, per Politico. “Antisemitism, antisemitic posters, slogans calling for the annihilation of Israel, the world’s only Jewish state. Too many people denying, downplaying, rationalizing, ignoring the horrors of the Holocaust and Oct. 7. … It is absolutely despicable, and it must stop.”
• Campuses, II: “I understand people have strong beliefs and deep convictions about the world and America,” the president said, per the New York Times. But “there is no place on any campus in America, any place in America, for antisemitism or hate speech or threats of violence of any kind.”
• Israel: “To the Jewish community, I want you to know: I see your fear, your hurt and your pain. Let me reassure you as your president, you’re not alone. You belong. You always have, and you always will. My commitment to the safety of the Jewish people, the security of Israel, and its right to exist as an independent Jewish state is ironclad, even when we disagree.”

Point one….yes there are some silly people that hate the Jews….I am nbot saying there is NO antisemitism just he is trying to link any action to the current situation on college campuses.

Point two….Yews HAMAS attacked Israel….but is that any different from the wandering bands of armed Israeli settlers that intimidate, destroy crops and homes and kill average West Bank Palestinians? (Of course not to worry the MSM will seldom report on these actions)

Point three….I am sure somewhere there has been some neo-Nazis that have harassed Jewish students….but if that is a wide occurrence where has the media been?   Where is Biden when students of color are harassed?

Point four….Not much to say other than electioneering plain simple.

Point five….Keep the money flowing and we will keep the support alive.

Biden’s uttering was pure bullshit…..he will say whatever AIPAC the money tells him to say…..keep in mind that Biden since 1999 has taken $4.2 million dollars from AIPAC….I would say it is money well spent.

This is nothing more that a made up ‘scare’….

I’ve been watching and thinking about the nationwide campus antiwar demonstrations in support of the suffering Palestinians of Gaza, and the appalling reaction to and “coverage” of those events. Something important needs to be addressed.

I won’t be concerned here with the violence committed by anyone, including the police, or by lesser misconduct, such as occupying and damaging buildings and other violations of university rules. It’s also irrelevant whether the demonstrations stand any chance of ending Israel’s onslaught or ending U.S. and university complicity in it, or whether most of the pro-peace demonstrators share a libertarian orientation. (Not likely.) All that is for another time.

I want to examine the overwhelming depiction of the demonstrations as nothing more than rank antisemitism – the blind hatred of all Jewish people because and only because they are – by birth, blood, belief, or practice – Jewish.

The media has help set up this bogus depiction.

Despite all the coverage of the protests over Israel’s war in Gaza, it can be remarkably difficult to understand what the players are actually saying. On social media, partisans on both sides cherry-pick extreme comments or incidents as a way to suggest that their opponents are comprehensively rotten. Others invoke broadly held values—free speech, peaceful protest, human rights—without explaining how they apply in specific circumstances. And many of the media stories have only worsened the confusion, by employing imprecise and euphemistic language that obscures more than it illuminates.

As a result, the American public remains badly informed about both the war itself and the movement against it, a dynamic that has steadily grown worse as campus protests—and the rate of (sometimes violent) arrests—has intensified. This lack of clarity may be especially damaging to people who both oppose Israel’s actions in Gaza and want to see long-term peace—a group long marginalized by Israel hawks and expansionists—but who may also find themselves surprised and troubled by the stated objectives of many of the groups leading the protests. And there is a growing risk, as the backlash to the protests grows both more violent and more litigious, that the extreme claims, demands for ideological purity, and rejection of nonviolence advanced by some of the protest leaders will undermine a movement that many liberals agree is morally urgent.

Is there antisemitism?

Of course there is and there is plenty of anti-black or Asian or pick a race and there will be some misinformed dullard that will hate them…..but the media and especially the president does not need to feed crap to the American people.

Enough said.
