“An Epidemic of Hate”: Biden Administration Officials Meet with Jewish Leaders to Tackle Rising Antisemitism
Ron Kampeas of the Jewish Telegraph Agency reports, “Top Biden administration officials launched a roundtable on antisemitism on Wednesday by describing a ‘rising tide of antisemitism’ and likening the atmosphere in the United States to that of Europe, where Jewish worship is held under lock and key.” Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff chaired the meeting, which included representatives from the White House, State Department, and United Nations Security Council. Amy Spitalnick, the executive director of Integrity First for America, said, “It sends a very important message that the sort of rampant antisemitism we’re seeing is unacceptable and that the highest office in the country is doing something about it.”
