Bill > HRes498

This resolution condemns the surge in antisemitic violence in the United States following the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, highlighting a pattern of escalating hate-motivated incidents targeting Jewish Americans. The resolution details specific violent events, including attacks on Jewish individuals and institutions such as an arson attempt at a governor's residence, a shooting at a Jewish museum, a firebombing of a Jewish vigil, and campus-related confrontations. It specifically criticizes colleges and universities for allegedly enabling pro-Palestinian organizations that have threatened Jewish students and engaged in civil rights violations. The resolution unequivocally condemns these antisemitic actions, affirms that peaceful protest is protected but violence is not, supports full investigations and prosecutions of antisemitic attacks, and urges academic and civic institutions to reject antisemitism and create safe environments for Jewish Americans. Ultimately, the resolution reaffirms fundamental American values of religious liberty, equal protection, and civil peace, declaring that antisemitism in any form is unacceptable in the United States.
