(1) Antisemitic incidents in the United States 
have reached historic levels, with the Federal Bu-
reau of Investigation (FBI) documenting 1,938 
antisemitic incidents in 2024, representing a 73 per-
cent increase from 2022 and the highest number re-
corded since the FBI began tracking hate crimes in 
1991, with Jews—comprising only 2 percent of the 
United States population—accounting for 69 percent 
of all religion-based hate crimes. 
(2) Following the October 7, 2023, Hamas at-
tacks on Israel, multiple tracking organizations doc-
umented a 360 to 388 percent increase in 
antisemitic incidents during the 3-month period 
from October 7, 2023, to January 7, 2024, with 
FBI Director Christopher Wray testifying that anti-
semitism has reached ‘‘historic levels’’ in the United 
States. 
(3) Academic research has documented severe 
deterioration of campus climates for Jewish stu-
dents, with Brandeis University finding hostility 
rates approximately twice as high as 2016 baseline 
measurements. 
(4) The May 2023 United States National 
Strategy to Counter Antisemitism represented a 
landmark, gold-standard, and comprehensive ap-

proach to addressing antisemitism, developed with 
extensive input from Jewish institutions and individ-
uals across the political spectrum, emphasizing that 
combating antisemitism requires protecting demo-
cratic institutions, civil liberties, and coalition-build-
ing across diverse communities, and establishing co-
ordination mechanisms across over 30 Federal agen-
cies. 
(5) Despite the real and documented crisis of 
antisemitism, there has been a systematic pattern of 
weaponizing antisemitism accusations by the Trump 
Administration to pursue ideological and partisan 
political objectives unrelated to protecting Jewish 
communities from discrimination and hatred, includ-
ing attacks on educational institutions for political 
disagreements, suppression of constitutionally pro-
tected speech, and enforcement of ideological con-
formity. 
(6) The Department of Education has launched 
investigations into approximately 60 institutions of 
higher education, not primarily to protect Jewish 
students from discrimination, but to use the false 
premise of antisemitism accusations as pretext for 
forcing the elimination of academic programs related 
to diversity and Middle Eastern studies, threatening

to withdraw Federal funding to compel ideological 
conformity, and undermining the autonomy and aca-
demic freedom of such institutions, with common 
patterns including lack of due process, conflation of 
criticism of Israeli government policies with anti-
semitism, and targeting of protected speech and aca-
demic inquiry. 
(7) The Trump administration has inappropri-
ately appropriated the International Holocaust Re-
membrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of anti-
semitism as a tool for immigration enforcement and 
deportation proceedings, applying a non-legally bind-
ing educational tool in punitive legal contexts for 
which it was never intended, with the Department of 
Homeland Security announcing in April 2025 that it 
would screen social media activity for antisemitism 
using the IHRA definition to guide determinations. 
(8) Multiple documented cases demonstrate the 
systematic targeting of students and legal residents 
for deportation based solely on their pro-Palestinian 
activism, including peaceful protests, academic in-
quiry, and political organizing, with every case that 
has reached Federal court resulting in release orders 
and findings of likely constitutional violations, in-
cluding Federal judges ruling that the Trump ad-

ministration is in continued violation of the First 
Amendment to the Constitution by detaining individ-
uals for protected speech. 
(9) The Trump administration has sought to tie 
nonprofit security grants, which fund critical houses 
of worship and religious community center security 
measures (including synagogues and Jewish Commu-
nity Centers), to compliance with administration po-
sitions on immigration enforcement and diversity 
policies, with the Department of Homeland Security 
imposing conditions in April 2025 mandating that 
recipients cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Cus-
toms Enforcement officials and prohibiting any pro-
grams that ‘‘advance or promote DEI’’, effectively 
holding Jewish community safety hostage to unre-
lated political objectives. 
(10) Federal judges have blocked enforcement 
of these conditions through permanent injunctions in 
multiple jurisdictions, ruling that conditions were 
‘‘arbitrary and capricious’’ and ‘‘unconstitutional’’, 
with nearly 70 religious organizations and over 120 
faith leaders signing a letter rejecting these condi-
tions and stating they are ‘‘unified in refusing to ca-
pitulate to conditions that would require us to sac-

bers’’. 
(11) The Heritage Foundation’s ‘‘Project Es-
ther: A National Strategy to Combat Antisemitism’’, 
released on October 7, 2024, has served as a blue-
print for the administration’s antisemitism policies, 
but rather than genuinely combating antisemitism, it 
weaponizes accusations of antisemitism to pursue 
partisan political objectives, including dismantling 
diversity programs, suppressing pro-Palestinian ad-
vocacy, defunding educational institutions, attacking 
nonprofit organizations, and undermining academic 
freedom. 
(12) The New York Times investigation pub-
lished in May 2025 found that ‘‘the second Trump 
administration had called for or acted upon more 
than half of Project Esther’s proposals’’, with Herit-
age Foundation officials stating there are ‘‘clear 
parallels’’ between their recommendations and ad-
ministration actions. 
(13) Project Esther’s development was led by 
predominantly Christian nationalist individuals with 
minimal Jewish organizational support, is tied to 
Christian Zionism theology and beliefs that Jewish 
presence in the Holy Land will precipitate End

Israel while ignoring antisemitism from white su-
premacists and other far-right groups, making no 
mention of Proud Boys, white supremacist militias, 
neo-Nazi groups, the Charlottesville violence, the 
Pittsburgh synagogue shooting, or other far-right 
antisemitic violence. 
(14) Effective antisemitism prevention and re-
sponse requires comprehensive, evidence-based ap-
proaches that strengthen rather than undermine 
democratic institutions, with research and experience 
demonstrating that approaches are most effective 
when they address antisemitism as connected to 
other forms of hatred and extremism, strengthen 
democratic institutions and civil liberties, build 
broad coalitions across diverse communities, focus 
enforcement on clear cases of discrimination while 
protecting political expression, and invest in edu-
cation and prevention rather than relying solely on 
punitive measures. 
(15) History demonstrates that Jewish commu-
nities are safest in robust democracies with strong 
civil liberties, equal protection under the law, and in-
clusive pluralistic cultures, and most vulnerable 
when these democratic foundations are eroded, and

that weaponizing antisemitism for partisan political 
purposes not only fails to protect Jewish commu-
nities but actively breeds more antisemitism by asso-
ciating Jewish safety with the suppression of civil 
liberties and the targeting of political dissent. 
(16) Congress has a responsibility to ensure 
that Federal efforts to combat antisemitism are ef-
fective, evidence-based, and consistent with demo-
cratic values, and to prevent the weaponization of 
antisemitism concerns for ulterior political objec-
tives, requiring substantial Federal investment in 
education initiatives, civil rights enforcement, com-
munity security programs, and other evidence-based 
approaches to combating antisemitism and related 
forms of extremism and hate. 
SEC. 3. STATEMENT OF POLICY AND SENSE OF CONGRESS. 
(a) STATEMENT OF POLICY.—It is the policy of the 
United States— 
(1) to raise awareness and educate the United 
States public about the history of Jewish Americans 
and antisemitism in all of its forms and various 
manifestations; 
(2) to use all available authorities to oppose 
antisemitism;

(3) not to use the fight against antisemitism as 
grounds or motive to pursue ulterior political agen-
das, including attacks on educational institutions for 
alleged political disagreements, suppression of con-
stitutionally protected speech, or enforcement of ide-
ological conformity; 
(4) to ensure that all Federal antisemitism poli-
cies and programs are developed with meaningful 
input from diverse Jewish communities and are con-
sistent with democratic values; 
(5) to address antisemitism as connected to 
other forms of hatred and extremism through coali-
tion-building and comprehensive prevention efforts; 
and 
(6) to protect the autonomy and academic free-
dom of educational institutions while ensuring vig-
orous enforcement of civil rights protections against 
actual discrimination and harassment. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that— 
(1) as articulated in the Biden Administration’s 
May 2023 United States National Strategy to 
Counter Antisemitism there are several definitions of 
antisemitism which serve as valuable tools to raise 
awareness and increase understanding of anti-

semitism, including the non-legally binding defini-
tions of antisemitism adopted in 2016 by the 31 
member states of the International Holocaust Re-
membrance Alliance, the Nexus Document, and 
other such efforts; and all of the definitions are valu-
able tools to raise awareness and increase under-
standing of antisemitism, and should be utilized by 
Federal, State, and local agencies; 
(2) the definitions are non-legally binding edu-
cational tools and should not be applied in punitive 
legal contexts, including immigration enforcement, 
deportation proceedings, or criminal prosecutions, 
for which they were never intended; 
(3) criticism of Israeli government policies, 
when not motivated by or expressed through 
antisemitic tropes or discrimination against Jews, is 
a form of political speech protected by the First 
Amendment and does not constitute antisemitism; 
(4) combating antisemitism requires protecting 
rather than undermining democratic institutions, 
civil liberties, academic freedom, and the rights of all 
communities; and 
(5) the weaponization of antisemitism accusa-
tions to pursue partisan political agendas under-
