      Ah, I knew that lazy soundbite would come up. You get that from a script, or are you just good at parroting?

      “Mr. President, what’s your message to the protesters? Do you condemn the antisemitic protests on college campuses?” reporters asked the president after his speech Monday afternoon.

      “I condemn the antisemitic protests,” Biden replied to the reporters. “That’s why I set up a program to deal with that.”

      “I also condemn those who don’t understand what’s going on with the Palestinians.”

          Yes? That Biden is condemning, specifically, protests that are antisemitic, as that is specifically how the question is phrased, not all campus protests.

              So the “shining beacon of leftism” in America, Mr.Sanders, has a podcast with a host who is a professor and even she has admitted THERE ARE ANTISEMITIC STUDENTS that are getting out of hand at her school as well as others.

              That said this ISN’T “all Isreal criticism is antisemitism.” It’s “antisemities are using this time to come out against Isreal along side the protestors.” So you can’t just bury your head in the sand and pretend they don’t exist especially if you’re the president and you’re being asked about it.

                Like I said, antisemitism has been happening regardless of the protests and to tie them together is irresponsible reporting. It’s very easy to condemn antisemitism at the same time as saying that the protests are not antisemitic.
