President Biden Draws Connections Between Holocaust And Israel Attack

During a speech on antisemitism at the US Capitol, President Joe Biden highlighted the importance of remembering historical events such as the Holocaust in light of recent events. He expressed concern that there is a risk of people forgetting the atrocities of the past, despite the widespread mantra of 'never forget' associated with the Holocaust.

President Biden specifically referenced the October 7 attack on Israel and drew parallels to the actions of Hamas, stating that there is a danger of overlooking the role of Hamas in unleashing terror. He emphasized the need to remain vigilant and not allow the memory of such events to fade.

In his address, President Biden reiterated his commitment to remembering the lessons of history and ensuring that the sacrifices made by those affected by such tragedies are not in vain. He called on the audience to join him in preserving the memory of the Holocaust and other instances of antisemitism, emphasizing that forgetting would be a disservice to those who suffered.

As he concluded his speech, President Biden reaffirmed his stance, stating that neither he nor the audience had forgotten the past, and they would continue to uphold the principle of 'never forget.' His remarks underscored the importance of acknowledging and learning from history to prevent similar atrocities from occurring in the future.
