Presidential nominee Joe Biden has tweeted a message in support of the Chabad of Delaware, which was torched Tuesday night in a deliberate act of arson.
Biden wrote that as an alum of the University of Delaware, the news is “deeply disturbing,” and also condemned the rise of anti-Semitic acts in the country.
Investigators on Wednesday revealed that the devastating fire that broke out at the Chabad Center for Jewish Life at the Univesity of Delaware was intentionally set.
“This news is deeply disturbing — as an alum of @UDelaware and as an American. We need a full and swift investigation into what happened Tuesday night,” he wrote.
“With anti-Semitism on the rise across the country, we all have a moral obligation to speak out and give hate no safe harbor.”

Chabad of Delaware is raising funds to rebuild the Chabad Center, which is run by Shluchim Rabbi Avremel and Shulie Vogel.
“We are deeply pained by the willful destruction that took place at the Chabad Center at UD yesterday with damages of at least $200,000,” Rabbi Vogel told COLlive.
“Fueled by a deep sense of hate and a can of diesel, a tortured soul set a Chabad House on fire,” Rabbi Vogel said. “This space was not just a synagogue, it was a home. It was a safe space for hundreds of beloved Jewish souls at the University of Delaware in Newark,” he said.
“The Chabad Center is where students came to feel embraced, accepted and loved,” Rabbi Vogel said. “This was the space where they felt anchored amidst the stormy days of college life.
“And now this place is a pile of ashes, darkened by black soot and the smell of smoke.”
“Please join us in telling each and every one of the Jewish students in this small college town that ‘AM YISRAEL CHAI! WE WILL PREVAIL! WE ARE STRONGER!’” asks Rabbi Vogel.
“With your support, we can remind them that the Jewish people are all one big family and we are stronger together. We will show them that when we are knocked down, we become stronger, prouder, taller,” he said.

Biden won’t call out the antisemites in his own party – Tlaib, OAC, Omar, and the rest of those miscreants and malcontents.
Except that he’s publicly distanced himself from them AOC just a few days ago!
That was Sarsour, and he apologized to her later.
Because he is seeing the writing on the wall..Once elected, he is their puppet
He called our Sarsour…
And apologized to her later.
exactly!
I want to see how many dumb crown heightsers will decide to vote for him based on this
You sound like a very smart person. Your argument is impeccable and utterly convincing.
He takes orders from AOC Omar etc all proven antisemites but yet so many Yidden will vote for him…
First he does everything to create this mess and approve this violence and then he tweets out his support, We don’t need the and we don’t need the honey.
This should not be posted to make this man look good even for a moment when he is responsible for the actual fire.
Show me when he “approved of the violence” or how he “created this mess.” You know that Donald has been the president for the past 3.5 years, right? This is his mess to clean up.
And I’m pretty sure you’re not a “head shliach.”
Oh man, the guy who created all of these issues surely must have lots of power! Joe Biden! Wait, I’m being told that he’s a private citizen who’s not popular at all, and in fact there’s a whole different person who’s the president!! Weird.
He’s bashed on Israel.
CEO of trying to get the Jew’s votes
#Biden2020–He’s a real mentch!
Could care less about this guy.
The whole DNC he didn’t mention a word about the violence. Only after the RNC where everyone spoke about it and was so good at it, now he realizes he made a big mistake so hes trying to save himself.
The whole RNC hardly spoke about the coronavirus. You tell me what is more important.. and how many more lives are being lost to the virus then to the riots
So the instigator in chief condemns what he encouraged?!
Should I laugh or cry???
Joe thinks we are all stupid. He thinks that by saying anti Semitism he can deflect to Trump. Lo and behold all the hate is actually coming from his party and from groups like BLM!!?
Really? What are you referring too? He has been a strong supporter of Israel all through the years,
This statement is false you need to read more.
He ignored this violence for months, and then tries to get supporters by tweeting WAY too long.
The damage has been done sir, and you will pay becuase of it.
This man is a puppet of radical socialists and is no good for America or Israel. This article sadly can be misleading to many who are unaware of what is at stake in this election.
The guy who did it was most likely a Trump supporting white supremacist.
Exactly. There is so much irony–and tragedy–in the comments here.
Why does everything have to be political? We have to look within. The Torah doesn’t say anything about the nations condemning Amalek’s attack. It mentions our shortcomings. It is Elul. We need to wake up to teshuva. We need to beg for moshiach.
Is it smart to vote for those who are promoting values that are hepach haTorah? And whose members support BDS?
Biden is pro-BDS? Hmm. You learn new things every day.
The Squad, and his far left supporters are pro BDS.
Trump is the president, and he didn’t come out with a statement.
Nor did the white house.
Where’s trump’s tweet?
im surprised he remembered what he was saying for long enough to write that tweet
Biden has always had very good relations with Chabad, Jews and Israel. Google Biden Chabad
Tonight, the 10th of Elul, is the yahrzeit of Yankel Rosenbaum, Hy”d, and the Crown Heights riots.
Al Sharpton was an instigator in the riots. Joe Biden called Al Sharpton a “champion in the fight for civil rights.” Kamala Harris said Sharpton “has spent his life fighting for what’s right and working to improve our nation, even in the face of hate.”
Biden has one goal and that is to destroy America!
We need everyone to go and get everyone you know to vote Trump 2020!
PUBLIUCITY STUNT.
GO BACK TO THE BASEMENT
joe biden is a antisemite and an idiot dont vote for him ever
We need to all learn Hebrew fluently, have our passports ready to go, because no political party ultimately can save us no matter who favors us now. (ie Republican Party) See the writing on the wall. The long term does not bode well for us here.
