RESOLUTION 

Recognizing Israel as America’s legitimate and democratic 

ally and condemning antisemitism. 

Whereas America’s greatest exports to the world are its people, their knowledge, and the Nation’s leadership; 

Whereas a critical part of the country’s strength is the diversity of its people, and the American immigrant experience 

encapsulates the American dream;

•HRES 92 IH 

Whereas every American immigrant community, Black Americans, Latino Americans, Muslim Americans, Asian 

American and Pacific Islander Americans, Arab Americans, Italian Americans, Irish Americans, Jewish Americans, and so many other minorities, endured a centurieslong scourge of hate, discrimination, and racism; 

Whereas these communities are what makes the country 

strong and contribute to the very essence of what it 

means to be a great Nation of immigrants; 

Whereas Jewish Americans have contributed in unique and 

positive ways to every aspect of American life, in diverse 

fields ranging from science to arts and entertainment; 

Whereas antisemitism is one of the oldest forms of hatred, 

predates the founding of the Nation, and has led to 

killings of Jews throughout time, at home and abroad; 

Whereas Middle Age-era blood libels, the accusation of Jews 

murdering non-Jews for their blood, led to pogroms and 

large-scale executions of innocent Jewish people, and ultimately displacement and genocide across the world, and 

barbarous anti-Israel terrorism; 

Whereas Jewish Americans face rampant antisemitism in various forms in the 21st century with age-old tropes such 

as controlling the government and media, yielding too 

much influence in decision-making bodies, seeking political, financial, and global dominance in society, and as 

greedy ‘‘money-hungry’’ people; 

Whereas Jewish Americans have also been accused of being 

more loyal to Israel than to the United States, suggesting 

that Jewish Americans cannot be trusted neighbors, citizens, or members of society;

•HRES 92 IH 

Whereas America’s involvement in the Middle East and alliance with the United States’ legitimate and trusted partner and ally, the Jewish and democratic State of Israel, 

cannot be misconstrued for lack of trust or commitment 

to the United States; 

Whereas with increasing frequency, public figures, government officials, and celebrities use their pulpits to spread 

hateful, antisemitic views; and 

Whereas countless Americans reject these libelous assaults on 

Jewish Americans and their integrity as a community: 

Now, therefore, be it 

1 Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 

2 (1) rejects hate, discrimination, and anti3 semitism in all forms, including antisemitism 

4 masquerading as anti-Israel sentiment; 

5 (2) stands in unity with the Jewish people in 

6 the United States and around the world against the 

7 rising antisemitism; and 

8 (3) explicitly condemns perpetuation of 

9 antisemitic tropes, including claims of dual loyalty, 

10 control, and other conspiracy theories antithetical to 

11 American values.
