American President Joe Biden has written to the American Jewish community to announce a national strategy to combat rising antisemitism and the need for Holocaust education.
In an op-ed for CNN published on Wednesday, Biden wrote: “As Jews read from the Haggadah about how evil in every generation has tried to destroy them, antisemitism is rising to record levels today,
“These acts are unconscionable and despicable. They carry in them terrifying echoes of the worst chapters in human history. And they’re not only a strike against Jews, they’re also a threat to other minority communities and a strain on the soul of our nation.”
A recent report by the US antisemitism watchdog Anti-Defamation League found that more than half of religious hate crimes in the country are perpetrated against Jews.
