He blamed #SocialMedia for #amplifying the #divisions & reducing a thorny #international dispute to what he viewed as #sloganeering.
Yet he urged his fmr aides to “take in the #WholeTruth,” seemingly attempting to strike a balance between the killings on both sides.
“What #Hamas did was horrific, & there’s no justification for it,” #Obama said. “& what is also true is that the #occupation & what’s happening to #Palestinians is unbearable.”
#BarackObama offered a complex analysis of the conflict between #Israel & #Hamas, telling thousands of former aides that they were all “complicit to some degree” in the current bloodshed.

#Jewish #students hear #FromTheRiverToTheSea as an open call for the #eradication of #Israel, a haunting proposition given the legacy of the #Holocaust that led to Israel’s creation. The phrase has been printed on fliers & projected onto the facade of a bldg at #GWU George Washington Univ. It has been accompanied by other boilerplate like “Glory to our martyrs,” in which #JewishStudents see praise for killing Jewish #civilians, as #Hamas did earlier this month.
A group called #StopAntiSemitism, which publicizes acts of #bigotry against #Jewish people, said that it received a few reports of incidents daily before the #Oct7 Hamas attack — occasionally a couple of dozen. Now, some 500 reports are arriving DAILY….

The solemn & peaceable candlelight vigils from earlier this month preceded uglier confrontations, leaving #Jewish college #students feeling anxious, afraid & #unsafe.
Amid what the #Biden admin described as an “alarming rise” of #antisemitism on #college #campuses, some #JewishStudents say they feel more vulnerable than ever before.

#College #administrators braced at the start of the #Israel-#Hamas conflict for an outbreak of #antisemitism, #Islamophobia, #harassment & even #violence. #FreeSpeech advocates predicted infringements on #constitutional rights (Not all speech is free. Look it up.). Now, as the raid by Hamas against #Israeli #civilians gives way to wider combat in the region, those fears appear to be coming to fruition.

And anonymous posters flooded a #Cornell msg board w/ #violent #threats, prompting the school’s president to alert the #FBI. “If you see a Jewish ‘person’ on campus follow them home & slit their throats,” one message said. Another threatened to “bring an assault rifle to campus & shoot all you pig jews.”

“We must, w/o equivocation, denounce #antiSemitism. We must also w/o equivocation, denounce #Islamophobia. To all of you hurting, those of you hurting, I want you to know: I see you. You belong. And I want to say this to you: You're all America. You're all #America."

Shortly before #Biden condemned the intensifying #Islamophobia in the U.S. in his speech, the Council on #American-#Islamic Relations, a #Muslim #CivilRights group, announced that a hotel in #Virginia had canceled one of its gatherings there this Saturday because of “multiple terror threats targeting the hotel, its staff, CAIR & American Muslims.”

#Illinois Gov. J.B. #Pritzker (D) issued a statement calling the taking of a child’s life in the name of #bigotry “nothing short of evil.”
“Wadea should be heading to school in the morning,” Pritzker’s statement said. “Instead, his parents will wake up without their son. This wasn’t just a murder — it was a hate crime.”

The stabbing death of a child sounded like an unthinkable escalation, their worst fears come true. Activists & politicians issued stmnts demanding an end to the conflict & to the dangerous language they say finds resonance w/ #violent, unstable people.
“This atmosphere has created a monster out of a normal man who once built a treehouse,” said Ahmed Rehab of the Chicago Council on American-#Islamic Relations, a #Muslim advocacy group.
