President Joe Biden is set to deliver a keynote address at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum’s annual Days of Remembrance ceremony, where he will honor the 6 million Jews killed in the Holocaust and reaffirm the commitment to combat antisemitism. This comes at a critical juncture as the conflict between Israel and Hamas intensifies, with a looming threat of an Israeli military invasion into the Gazan city of Rafah.
Biden's longstanding support for Israel has faced scrutiny as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza escalates, leading to a significant increase in antisemitic incidents in the US. The Anti-Defamation League reported a 140% rise in antisemitic incidents from 2022 to 2023, with younger Americans showing a higher tendency to endorse anti-Jewish tropes.
