Joe Biden has issued criticism against those whose condemnation of Israeli politics veered towards antisemitism.
“Criticism of Israel’s policy is not antisemitism,” the presumptive Democratic nominee for president told donors on Tuesday. “But too often that criticism from the left morphs into antisemitism.”
It comes as Mr Biden’s presidential campaign considers how he can appeal to progressives on the left of the Democratic party, and younger voters in particular, who criticise Israel’s treatment of Palestinians.
Mr Biden, who was asked about antisemitism among sections of the left in the US and UK, said that whilst antisemitism was “the mother of all conspiracy theories”, Americans had not heard enough about the dangers of the Holocaust happening again.
“So many people forget,” said Mr Biden, “it’s almost hard to believe.”
“Arguably, we haven’t heard enough about the Holocaust because people are still trying to deny its horrible reality,” said Mr Biden on the call transcript sent to The New York Times.
