Bill > H1013

This resolution addresses the ongoing tensions and antisemitic incidents following the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, by urging the United States Congress to take decisive action against acts of hatred toward Jewish people and supporters of Israel. The resolution highlights a specific terrorist attack on June 1, 2025, where a man armed with a flamethrower targeted peaceful demonstrators calling for the release of Israeli hostages, and notes an increase in antisemitic attacks and violent pro-Palestinian protests in the United States. It emphasizes the long-standing friendship between the United States and Israel, which spans over 75 years and is built on shared democratic values, and references previous legislative actions supporting Israel, such as House Resolution 894 recognizing Israel's 75th anniversary and House Bill 942 adopting the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition of antisemitism. The primary call to action is for Congress to criminalize and prohibit actions that harm Jewish people and supporters of Israel, and to seek justice for those unlawfully kidnapped by Hamas, with the resolution becoming effective immediately upon adoption.
