Biden Condemns ‘Anti-Semitic Protests’ and Those Who ‘Don’t Understand’ the Palestinian Situation

President Joe Biden said Monday that he condemns “anti-Semitic protests” across the country and those who lack understanding of the Palestinian situation amid the ongoing pro-Palestine protests at Columbia University in New York City.

“I condemn the anti-Semitic protests.  That’s why I’ve set up a program to deal with that,” President Biden told reporters in Triangle, Virginia, on April 22.
“I also condemn those who don’t understand what’s going on with the Palestinians,” he added.

When asked whether he thinks Columbia University’s president, Minouche Shafik, should resign in light of the escalating pro-Palestinian protests on campus, President Biden said he was uncertain about that.

“I didn’t know that. I’ll have to find out more about it,” the president replied.
