                               RESOLUTION


 
Condemning the antisemitic shooting in Sydney, Australia, and all forms 
       of hatred and violence directed at religious communities.

Whereas, on December 14, 2025, a gunman opened fire during a Hanukkah 
        celebration in Sydney, Australia, resulting in loss of life, injuries, 
        and terror within the Jewish community;
Whereas this act of violence occurred during a sacred religious observance and 
        was intended to intimidate and target individuals because of their 
        Jewish identity; and
Whereas the United States stands with Australia, with the Jewish community 
        worldwide, and with all those affected by this heinous attack: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) strongly condemns the antisemitic shooting in Sydney, 
        Australia, and all forms of hatred and violence directed at 
        religious communities;
            (2) expresses heartfelt condolences to the victims, their 
        families, and the people of Australia;
            (3) affirms the right of all people to worship freely and 
        safely;
            (4) reiterates the commitment of the United States to 
        combating antisemitism and terrorism in all its forms; and
            (5) calls on the Australian Government to take action to 
        address rising antisemitism and protect its Jewish community.
