President Joe Biden said the administration does not view the deaths of Palestinians in Gaza as “genocide,” during a celebration for Jewish American Heritage Month at the White House on Monday evening.
“Whatever these warrants may imply, there is no equivalence between Israel and Hamas. It’s clear that Israel wants to do all it can to ensure civilian protection,” Biden said. “Let me be clear: Contrary to allegations against Israel made by the International Court of Justice, what is happening is not genocide. We reject that.
“We do not believe what is happening in Gaza is a genocide. We have been firmly on record rejecting that proposition,” Sullivan told reporters at the White House last Monday. Biden, appearing alongside Doug Emhoff, the Jewish husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, reiterated the White House’s push to address the rise of antisemitism. The Anti-Defamation Leagueearlier this year that included nearly 3,300 antisemitic instances in the final three months of last year, including 56 physical assaults, 554 incidents of vandalism, 1,347 examples of verbal or written harassment, and 1,307 rallies on college campuses that involved antisemitic rhetoric.
