Welcome to the Voice of America’s News Words.
The husband of American Vice President Kamala Harrus led a recent discussion at the White House.
Antisemitism
Second gentlement Dough Emhoff brought together leaders from the Jewish community and White House officials to seek ways to fight the rise of antisemitism by public figures. Emhoff said the “epidemic of hate” in the country cannot become normal.
Antisemitism is hostility towards or discrimination against Jews because they are Jews. Antisemitism is sometimes called history’s oldest hatred.
