To condemn the rise in antisemitism, call on all Americans

Whereas there is an alarming rise in antisemitism in the 

United States, as reported by the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the 

Anti-Defamation League, and the American Jewish Committee;

Whereas, in 2022, the Anti-Defamation League tabulated 

more than 3,600 antisemitic incidents throughout the 

United States, the highest number on record since the 

Anti-Defamation League began tracking antisemitic incidents; 

Whereas American Jews account for 2.4 percent of the 

United States population, but according to the Federal 

Bureau of Investigation they are the victims of 63 percent of reported religiously motivated hate crimes; 

Whereas the American Jewish Committee found that— 

(1) nine in 10 American Jewish respondents believe 

antisemitism is a problem in the United States; and 

(2) four in 10 Jewish Americans reported changing 

their behavior out of fear of antisemitism; 

Whereas in the aftermath of the October 7, 2023, attacks by 

the Foreign Terrorist Organization Hamas against 

Israel, both the Department of Homeland Security and 

the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation reported an increase in threats against Jewish communities 

in the United States; 

Whereas the rise of antisemitism on college and university 

campuses is particularly acute, with a 41-percent increase 

in antisemitism from 2021 to 2022, according to the 

Anti-Defamation League; 

Whereas Jewish students have been targeted for disparate 

treatment in classes, and derision and exclusion on college campuses and in official student organizations, not 

only because they are Jewish but often because of their 

real or perceived views about or connection to, or support 

for, the State of Israel;

•HRES 907 IH 

Whereas in the aftermath of the October 7, 2023, attacks by 

the terrorist group Hamas, there have been increased incidents of antisemitism on college campuses, including 

hate speech and intimidation as well as student-led demonstrations that have glorified violence, including Hamas 

terrorist attacks on Israeli civilians, creating an atmosphere of hostility and fear for Jewish students and faculty; 

Whereas there has been a growth of Holocaust distortion and 

denial which has grown in intensity over the past decade; 

Whereas antisemitic conspiracy theories fuel other forms of 

hatred, discrimination, and bias and threaten the foundations of our democracy; 

Whereas combating antisemitism is essential to the broader 

fight against all forms of hatred and to the defense of 

our democracy; 

Whereas, on May 25, 2023, in recognition of the importance 

to our democracy of combating rising antisemitism, the 

United States issued the first U.S. National Strategy to 

Counter Antisemitism; 

Whereas the National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism 

highlights more than 100 action steps that government 

agencies will take and calls for Congress, State and local 

governments, companies, technology platforms, educators, 

civil society, and faith leaders to combat antisemitism; 

and 

Whereas countering antisemitism requires bipartisan collaboration and a comprehensive, all-of-government response: 

Now, therefore, be it 

1 Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 

2 (1) condemns all forms of antisemitism;
