(Kevin Whiteley, Headline USA) Amid the ongoing Israel–Hamas War, which has left many heads reeling over the audacious displays of anti-Semitism, White House press secretary Karine Jean–Pierre released a statement Wednesday promoting President Joe Biden’s “first-ever” nationwide effort to tackle Islamophobia.
Vice President Kamala Harris also promoted the project in a tweet, describinging it as “…the country’s first National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia” with her monologue.
Taking on hate is a national priority.
Today, @POTUS and I are announcing the country's first National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia.

However, the Democrat officials’ appeals to the historic momentousness of the occasion seemed little more than a publicity ploy given that, in December 2021, their own party passed a bill, authored by Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., which mandated the appointment of “a special envoy for monitoring and combating Islamophobia and include[d] state-sponsored anti-Muslim violence in the department’s annual human rights report.”
Was it that they simply didn’t do preliminary research, or is Biden’s administration a conduit for the anti-Semitic pattern emerging from the Left?
If Democrats stand against anti-Semitism, they’ve not made it apparent—especially as of late. Neither Harris nor Biden specifically have addressed anti-Semitism in any, late-2023 posts and/or speeches as of this report—despite having been given multiple openings by the media to do so.
When pressed by Fox News reporter Peter Doocy as to why an executive branch that has readily labeled parents attending school board meetings as domestic violent extremists had refused to condemn violent and disruptive demonstrations by Hamas supporters on college campuses and elsewher, Jean–Pierre pointedly refused to acknowledge the disproportionate attacks targeting Jews, both at home and abroad.
“I have been very, very clear. We are calling out any form of hate, any form of hate,” she claimed.
Moreover, Biden’s anti-Islamophobia redux initiative comes on the heels of a poll reflecting Arab-Americans are reportedly dropping support for Biden and Dems.
Tack on the recent confirmation from John Kirby, the strategic communications coordinator for the National Security Council, that Biden “would veto an Israel-only bill” from Congress that failed to provide aid for Palestinians and other globalist pet projects, such as Ukraine, and one might make the case that, indeed, the White House has been “very, very clear” where Jews stand in its identity-politics-driven pecking order.

Democrats, overall, have yet to strongly condemn instances of violent, anti-Semitic behavior seen at Harvard Law School, a “Free Palestine” rally in New York and on the streets surrounding New Orleans’s Tulane University, to cite just a few.
Bigotry toward Jews has reached such an extreme that Jewish students at New York City’s Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art locked themselves in the library while “free Palestine” protestors banged on the building’s doors.

There are roughly between 5 and 7 million Jews in the U.S., according to a 2021, Brandeis University study. By comparison, there are about 3.45 million Muslims living in America, based on a WiseVoter.com report.
