Biden: ‘People are already forgetting’ about Oct. 7; ‘I have not… and we will not forget’

During his speech about antisemitism and the Holocaust at the Capitol’s Emancipation Hall, US President Joe Biden laments that people around the world are already forgetting Hamas’s October 7 massacre and hostage-taking.

Biden is speaking seven months to the day after the Palestinian terror group invaded Israel, killing some 1,200 people and kidnapping 252, mainly civilians, in what Biden and others have called the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust.

“This hatred [of Jews] continues to lie deep in the hearts of too many people in the world and requires our continued vigilance and outspokenness,” Biden says.

“Now here we are, not 75 years later, but just seven and a half months later, and people are already forgetting… that Hamas unleashed this terror,” he says, referring to the Holocaust lesson of “Never forget.”

“I have not forgotten, nor have you. And we will not forget.”
