President Biden on Monday vehemently denounced the rise in antisemitic attacks and rhetoric in the United States, saying he is committed to "the safety of the Jewish people and the vibrancy of Jewish life."
The president made his remarks during a Hanukkah reception at the White House. There is no place in the U.S. for hate or violence, Biden said. "Silence is complicity. I will not be silent. America will not be silent."
