President Joe Biden appeared to blink on Tuesday, watering down his criticisms of anti-Semitism — ahead of his trip to Israel and Jordan later in the week — by calling on Americans to “reject hate in every form.”
Biden made the comment in a post to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, where he tied the obvious anti-Semitism in play in the recent terror attacks Hamas perpetrated against Israeli civilians to other forms of hatred like “Islamophobia.”
“History has taught us again and again that antisemitism, Islamophobia, and all hate are connected. We have to reject hate in every form,” Biden said.
