Biden Condemns 'Violent Venom' of Antisemitism at Hanukkah Event

President Joe Biden, at a White House Hanukkah reception on Monday, said he understood the concerns of Jewish Americans amid rising antisemitism, and that his administration would stand with them.

“I recognize your fear, your hurt, your worry that this violent venom is becoming too normal,” Biden said.

“Silence is complicity. We must not remain silent. And I made no bones about it from the very beginning: I will not be silent. America will not be silent. I mean it,” said Biden.

“Today we must all say clearly and forcefully, antisemitism and all forms of hate and violence in this country, have no safe harbor in America. Period,” he added. “Evil will not win. Hate will not prevail.”
