Whereas antisemitism is a threat to the fundamental freedoms, rights, security, and diversity of all citizens, societies, and countries; Whereas there has been an increase of antisemitic rhetoric and acts in many countries around the world; Whereas, in the months since the October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attack against Israel, Jewish communities around the world have experienced a significant increase in antisemitic threats; Whereas, in the Berlin Declaration of April 29, 2004, participating states of the Organization for Security and co-operation in Europe condemned antisemitism and committed to take specific actions to combat it; Whereas, in 2016, the 31 member states of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance adopted a legally nonbinding working definition of antisemitism, an important internationally recognized tool to increase understanding of antisemitism; Whereas, on May 25, 2023, the White House issued the United States National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism, making clear that the fight against antisemitism is a national, bipartisan priority that must be successfully conducted through a whole-of-government-and-society approach; Whereas, on July 17, 2024, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the United States and partners unveiled the Global Guidelines for Countering Antisemitism; Whereas the Global Guidelines constitute a multilateral framework encompassing 12 areas of public policy, including: Jewish community protection, the need for leaders to speak out against antisemitism, uniform collection of data about antisemitism, and education of the Holocaust and Jewish heritage; Whereas the Global Guidelines include policies to monitor and combat antisemitism that can be implemented and adapted to a wide variety of national, regional, and cultural contexts; and Whereas more than 40 states and international bodies have endorsed the Global Guidelines for Countering Antisemitism: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1) condemns the rise of antisemitism in countries around the world; (2) welcomes the Global Guidelines for Countering Antisemitism unveiled by the United States and partners in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on July 17, 2024; (3) calls upon states and international bodies to take action to counter antisemitism, including by endorsing and embracing the Global Guidelines for Countering Antisemitism; and (4) encourages greater action and international cooperation to counter antisemitism.
