(CNN) President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday condemned recent attacks toward the Jewish community after several Jewish people were targeted in cities across the US and abroad as tensions flare over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. "The recent attacks on the Jewish community are despicable, and they must stop. I condemn this hateful behavior at home and abroad -- it's up to all of us to give hate no safe harbor," Biden tweeted Monday. "And so when you see wild conspiracy theories about the Jewish people or the Jewish state, we shouldn't be surprised where there are real world consequences when Jewish people get harmed and hurt." Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti condemned the attack and said the city would meet the incident "with a full force of law."
