Biden denounces campus anti-Semitism amid tensions over student protests

NEW YORK — President Joe Biden condemned any anti-Semitism on college campuses Sunday, as pro-Palestinian protesters at Columbia University spent their fifth day demanding the school sever financial ties with key U.S. ally Israel.

Students camped out on university grounds are calling for the prestigious New York school, which has an exchange program with Tel Aviv University, to boycott all activities associated with Israel in light of the country's war with Hamas militants and the ensuing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
