President Biden, standing in front of six candles symbolizing the six million Jews killed during the Holocaust, delivered... the strongest condemnation of antisemitism by any sitting American president.
For Jews monitoring a spike in hate crimes and instances of antisemitic rhetoric amid pro-Palestinian protests, Mr. Biden's speech was fiercely necessary and appreciated.
Republicans dismissed his comments as meek, while supporters of Palestinians on the left attacked him for conflating criticism of Israel with antisemitism.
Warren David criticized Mr. Biden for not speaking more forcefully against anti-Arab racism and the death toll in Gaza, expressing disappointment in the speech's focus.
