It's not just in Canada that attacks on Jewish people are happening. The radicalization is also stateside.
Both Breitbart and Daily Caller have pieces noting how President Joe Biden has failed to condemn recent antisemitic attacks in America, the unfortunate result of the escalation in tensions between Israel and Gaza over the past few weeks.
The most recent statement from the commander-in-chief came from the joint press conference with South Korean President Moon Jae-in. In response to statements by anti-Israeli Democrats like progressive Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, Biden made himself clear on the issue.

"There is no shift in my commitment to the security of Israel. Period. No shift, not at all. But I'll tell you what there is a shift in. The shift is that we still need a two state solution," Biden said at the press conference today.
However what's lacking is an acknowledgement of the situation in America.
This past Sunday at Skokie Synagogue in Chicago, officers called to the scene noticed a broken window and a "Freedom for Palestine" sign hanging beneath it.
On Tuesday, a group of pro-Palestinians attacked a group of Jewish men dining at Beverly Grove restaurant in Los Angeles.
Just on Thursday, pro-Palestinian activists created a chaotic scene in New York City on Thursday when the crowd lit incendiary devices in the Diamond District. Today, the arrest of the suspect involved here was announced by authorities.
In addition to the pattern of antisemitic incidents, various public officials have since condemned the uptick in animosity. For starters the governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, acknowledged the situation and vowed to end the incidents.
But shockingly, despite previous opposition to Israel, both Linda Sarsour and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have disavowed these attacks on Jewish people.
Antisemitism hurts the cause for Palestinian freedom. It is not welcomed nor does it reflect the spirit or plight of the Palestinian people.

We appreciate our Jewish sisters and brothers who have been bold & brave accomplices in our struggle.
"Antisemitism hurts the cause for Palestinian freedom. It is not welcomed nor does it reflect the spirit or plight of the Palestinian people. We appreciate our Jewish sisters and brothers who have been bold & brave accomplices in our struggle," Sasour tweeted Friday afternoon. She has had to previously clarify her own statements about being anti-Israel but also pro-Jewish.
We will never, ever tolerate antisemitism here in NY or anywhere in the world.
— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) May 21, 2021
The recent surge in attacks is horrifying. We stand with our Jewish communities in condemning this violence.

"We will never, ever tolerate antisemitism here in NY or anywhere in the world. The recent surge in attacks is horrifying. We stand with our Jewish communities in condemning this violence," tweeted Ocasio-Cortez also on Friday.
It was back on May 12 that the New York congresswoman and "Squad" member condemned Biden for saying Israel had a right to defend itself.
