This resolution unequivocally condemns the recent surge in antisemitic violence and intimidation targeting Jewish Americans and institutions across the United States, particularly following the October 7, 2023, terrorist attack by Hamas. It highlights specific incidents of violence, including arson attempts, shootings, and firebombings, which have created a chilling climate of fear within Jewish communities. The resolution emphasizes that while peaceful protest is protected, violence, intimidation, and support for terrorist organizations constitute criminal conduct that must be addressed. The House of Representatives affirms its support for full investigations and prosecutions of all individuals involved in antisemitic violence, offering support to victims and the broader Jewish community. It urges academic and civic institutions to reject all forms of antisemitism, refrain from legitimizing groups that incite violence, and foster safe environments for Jewish students and faculty. Ultimately, the resolution reaffirms foundational American values of religious liberty and equal protection, declaring that antisemitism has no place in the United States.
