                               RESOLUTION


 
  Condemning antisemitism and remembering Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah 
                                Milgrim.

Whereas antisemitism is a centuries-old form of hatred and discrimination that 
        has led to immeasurable suffering, persecution, and loss of life, 
        culminating most horrifically in the Holocaust, and continues to 
        manifest in violence, vandalism, and policies targeting Jewish 
        communities around the world;
Whereas recent years have seen a rise in antisemitic incidents in the United 
        States, including attacks on synagogues, Jewish schools, museums, 
        cultural centers, and individuals identified or perceived as Jewish;
Whereas the tragic and senseless murders of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim 
        are a stark reminder of the dangers posed by rising antisemitism and 
        terrorism targeting the Jewish community;
Whereas Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim were attending a panel discussion to 
        promote peace and resolve conflict when their lives were tragically 
        taken;
Whereas Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim were both employees of the Israeli 
        Embassy in the United States where they advocated for peace, education, 
        and dialogue, and were both committed to standing against hatred and 
        violence; and
Whereas the murderer is a far-left activist and has been affiliated with the 
        Party for Socialism and Liberation: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) strongly condemns antisemitism in all its forms, 
        including physical violence, vandalism, online harassment, and 
        discriminatory policies or actions;
            (2) remembers the lives of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah 
        Milgrim and celebrates their work;
            (3) condemns the hateful and senseless acts of terrorism 
        that resulted in the deaths of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah 
        Milgrim; and
            (4) supports the enforcement of existing laws that punish 
        hate crimes, protect religious freedom, and ensure justice for 
        victims of antisemitic violence and discrimination.
