Whereas Christian communities have been present in the 
Middle East for over 2,000 years; 
Whereas Christian communities coexisted with Muslim and 
other religious communities in the past; 
Whereas Christian communities have contributed to the cul-
tural and historical traditions of the region; 
Whereas ongoing warfare, violence, and terrorism in Syria, 
Iraq, and elsewhere in the Middle East has driven many 
Christian communities to flee the region; 
Whereas thousands of Christians have been killed and hun-
dreds of thousands of Christians have been displaced by 
recent fighting; and 
Whereas Pope Francis stated, ‘‘we are dismayed to see how 
in the Middle East and elsewhere in the world many of 
our brothers and sisters are persecuted, tortured and 
killed for their faith in Jesus. . . . In this third world 
war, waged piecemeal, which we are now experiencing, a 
form of genocide is taking place.’’: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) recognizes that Christians in the Middle 
East are victims of genocide; 
(2) encourages other nations to likewise recog-
