Columbia University Protest: Biden warns alarming surge of antisemitism,calls it dangerous| Oneindia

On Sunday, April 21, President Joe Biden issued a stern warning about a troubling rise in anti-Semitism, coinciding with the upcoming Jewish holiday of Passover.

His statement particularly addressed the student protests unfolding at Columbia University.

“Silence is complicity.

Even in recent days, we’ve seen harassment and calls for violence against Jews.

This blatant Anti Semitism is reprehensible and dangerous — and it has absolutely no place on college campuses, or anywhere in our country" (DISPLAY ON SCREEN) read Biden’s statement.

The protesters, camping out on campus, are urging the university to boycott all activities associated with Israel due to the conflict with Hamas and the resulting humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
