SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Combating European 
Anti-Semitism Act of 2017’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) During the past decade, there has been a 
steady increase in anti-Semitic incidents in Europe, 
resulting in European Jews being the targets of 
physical and verbal harassment and even lethal ter-
rorist attacks, all of which has eroded personal and 
communal security and the quality of daily Jewish 
life. 
(2) According to reporting by the European 
Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA), be-
tween 2005 and 2014, anti-Semitic incidents in-
creased in France from 508 to 851; in Germany 
from 60 to 173; in Belgium from 58 to 130; in Italy 
from 49 to 86; and in the United Kingdom from 459 
to 1,168. 
(3) Anti-Zionism has at times devolved into 
anti-Semitic attacks, prompting condemnation from 
many European leaders, including French Prime 
Minister Manuel Valls, British Prime Minister David 
Cameron, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. 
(4) Since 2010, the Department of State has 
adhered to the working definition of Anti-Semitism
