Biden calls out 'ferocious surge' of antisemitism

white house — President Joe Biden on Tuesday called out what he described as a "ferocious surge" of antisemitism, using a somber speech to tie together two grim anniversaries: his nation's annual commemoration of the Holocaust, and the beginning of the seventh month of hostilities in Gaza.   "This hatred continues to lie deep in the hearts of too many people in the world," Biden said as he delivered the keynote address at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum's Annual Days of Remembrance ceremony.
