On Friday, President Biden issued a Statement (full text) on the Rise of Anti-Semitic Attacks. The Statement reads in part:
In the last weeks, our nation has seen a series of anti-Semitic attacks, targeting and terrorizing American Jews.... I will not allow our fellow Americans to be intimidated or attacked because of who they are or the faith they practice.
We cannot allow the toxic combination of hatred, dangerous lies, and conspiracy theories to put our fellow Americans at risk. As Attorney General Garland announced yesterday, the Department of Justice will be deploying all of the tools at its disposal to combat hate crimes.... We must all stand together to silence these terrible and terrifying echoes of the worst chapters in world history, and pledge to give hate no safe harbor.
