U.S. President Joe Biden, who has long cited the Holocaust as core to his worldview, is expected to discuss the U.S.' moral duty to 'combat the rising scourge of antisemitism' during next Tuesday's address on Capitol Hill.
The speech will represent a rare high-profile foray by the president into an issue that has roiled college campuses and U.S. politics in recent weeks.
Biden gave impassioned remarks about antisemitism in the wake of Hamas’ Oct. 7 attacks against Israel. And he has denounced the pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses that have, on occasion, turned threatening towards Jewish students.
But many of the recent condemnations around campus activities have come from White House aides, sparking backlash from Republicans who have accused the president of ducking a public accounting of the matter.
"Never Again" means never again to anyone.
Oh, they realized Jews are irate. Bit too late

OK but the Jewish Holocaust does not justify a Palestinian Holocaust!!!
