The silence of President Biden on the eruption of anti-Semitic “protests” on elite college campuses constitutes a disgusting sidebar to the unfolding story. He was asked about them yesterday as he shambled down a sylvan path in Triangle, Virginia. “I condemn the antisemitic protests,” Biden told reporters. “I also condemn those who don’t understand what’s going on with the Palestinians.”
“Palestinians” widely support Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and the terrorist forces that swim among them. The kill the Jews campus hatefests accord with that support. Those who understand what’s going on with the “Palestinians” might condemn them, but that’s not what Biden means. Biden means what he asserts that President Trump meant in his comments on Charlottesville. Years later, Biden continues to condemn Trump for it. When it comes to the eruption of anti-Semitism in “protests” inside Democratic strongholds, we hear the silence of the clams.
Biden also fielded a question asking whether the president of Columbia should resign. He responded: “I didn’t know that.” Where are the pan flutes when you need them? Some observers may reflect that Biden is in no position to call for anyone’s resignation based on the simple refusal to perform the basic requirements of his or her job.
REPORTER: “Do you condemn the antisemitic protests on college campuses?”
BIDEN: There were very fine people on both sides.
REPORTER: “Should the Columbia University president resign?"
BIDEN: “I didn’t know that.”
