While marking Earth Day in Virginia, US President Joe Biden is asked by a reporter if he condemns “the antisemitic protests on college campuses,” as numerous elite schools are increasingly convulsed by anti-Israel unrest.

“I condemn the antisemitic protests. That’s why I’ve set up a program to deal with that,” he says.

“I also condemn those who don’t understand what’s going on with the Palestinians and how they’re being…” Biden then adds before trailing off as a reporter asks if he thinks the Columbia University president should resign.
