Bill > HR259

This resolution condemns the murder of two Israeli Embassy employees, Yaron Lischinsky (30) and Sarah Milgrim (26), who were killed on May 21, 2025, in Washington, D.C. after attending an event at the Capital Jewish Museum. The resolution highlights that the victims were specifically targeted because of their support for Israel and notes the broader context of rising antisemitism in the United States, which the Anti-Defamation League documented as over 9,000 incidents in 2024. The resolution connects these murders to global conflicts, particularly referencing the October 7, 2023 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, and strongly condemns not only this specific act of violence but also any hate-based attacks targeting individuals based on their religion, race, gender, ethnicity, nationality, political affiliation, or other identity. By passing this resolution, the Louisiana House of Representatives aims to publicly denounce the murders and stand against antisemitic violence.
