Vice President Kamala Harris is facing backlash this week after announcing a focus on Islamophobia —even as antisemitic attacks are surging all over the country.
“Taking on hate is a national priority,” she declared in a post on X that included a video of the announcement. “Today, @POTUS and I are announcing the country’s first National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia. This action is the latest step forward in our work to combat a surge of hate in America.”
“For years, Muslims in America and those perceived to be Muslim have endured a disproportionate number of hate-fueled attacks,” she said in the video. “As a result of the Hamas terrorist attack in Israel and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, we have seen an uptick in anti-Palestinian, anti-Arab, anti-Semitic, and Islamophobic incidents across America, including the brutal attack of a Palestinian-American woman, who is Muslim, and the killing of her 6-year-old son.”

Professor Gad Saad posted: “According to the @FBI director, Jews make up 2.4% of the US population but are the targets of 60% of hate crimes. This is why it is apparently important to fight Islamophobia according to the White House.”

“Today, a wall in a large Jewish community in Las Vegas was tagged with ‘Death 2 Jews,’” Former U.S. Senate candidate Adam Laxalt wrote on X. “This is just one example of many hateful acts of antisemitism we’ve seen across the country. Our VP should be prioritizing stopping the hate against the Jewish community right now.”

“Anti-semitism is at the highest level since NAZI Germany and the Biden admin decides to launch an anti-Islamophobia effort,” said Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-WI). “I have absolutely no idea how anyone who cares about the survival of Jewish people could vote for any member of the Democratic Party.”
