                               RESOLUTION


 
   Condemning antisemitic hatred on the anniversary of the terrorist 
                      attacks of October 7, 2023.

Whereas, on October 7, 2023, Hamas invaded more than 20 communities in Israel, 
        resulting in the death of more than 1,200 people, injuries to more than 
        4,000 people, and the kidnapping of more than 250 hostages;
Whereas October 7, 2023, was the deadliest day for Jewish people since the 
        Holocaust;
Whereas, since October 7, 2023, Jewish communities in the United States, Israel, 
        and around the world have been unfairly targeted by growing threats of 
        violence and prejudice linked to antisemitic hatred;
Whereas such threats, though distinct in method and geography, share a common 
        pattern of targeting Jewish individuals or symbols of Jewish life and 
        civic engagement;
Whereas no individual in the United States should be subjected to violence or 
        intimidation because of their religion, heritage, or peaceful advocacy; 
        and
Whereas community leaders have spoken out against hateful actions and language 
        that associate the Jewish people with actions of the Israeli government, 
        urging respect for Jewish traditions and communities: Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) condemns Hamas in the harshest terms for its 
        premeditated, coordinated, and violent terrorist attacks on 
        Israel;
            (2) condemns the antisemitic attacks on Sarah Milgrim, 
        Yaron Lischinsky, Karen Diamond, and the family of Governor 
        Josh Shapiro, and all acts of antisemitism, whether expressed 
        through threats, vandalism, or violence;
            (3) reaffirms the commitment to protecting the rights of 
        all people in the United States to assemble peacefully and 
        practice their faith without fear of violence;
            (4) condemns hateful language that--
                    (A) makes general claims about all Jewish people;
                    (B) associates Jewish Americans and Jewish people 
                around the world with the military and government 
                actions of the State of Israel; and
                    (C) accuses Jewish people categorically of being 
                hateful or harboring genocidal intent; and
            (5) urges elected officials, community leaders, and civil 
        society to speak out against antisemitism.
                                 <all>
