Mr. Speaker, I will vote Present on H. Res. 894, a resolution that aims to condemn antisemitism throughout the world. Several of my Jewish colleagues voted Present as well.

I strongly agree that Congress must condemn all forms of antisemitism. The House of Representatives has voted in favor of several resolutions condemning antisemitism since Hamas's horrific October 7th attacks on Israel, multiple of which I've supported and cosponsored. However, this latest resolution, H. Res. 894, contains overly broad language that weaponizes the real scourge of antisemitism and uses Jewish people as pawns to play partisan political games. For this reason, I could not support the resolution.

For example, H. Res. 894 suggests that ``anti-Zionism is antisemitism.'' While some forms of anti-Zionism are antisemitic, there are many members of the Jewish community that identify as anti-Zionist. Lumping together factions of the Jewish community as ``antisemitic'' is clearly problematic.

Some language in H. Res. 894 also appears to be a veiled attempt to police the free speech of Americans who have demonstrated in favor of human rights for Palestinians. Again, while some demonstrators have disturbingly engaged in antisemitic actions that should rightfully be condemned, H. Res. 894 is too broad.

H. Res. 894 also fails to condemn antisemitic acts from those on the far right, including white nationalists who have increasingly promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories and have threatened the lives and livelihoods of Jewish Americans.

Let me be clear: I unequivocally condemn all forms of antisemitism, and I am appalled by the significant rise in antisemitism we've seen in recent years and especially after Hamas's October 7th terrorist attacks on Israel. If the House Republican majority were serious about tackling antisemitism, they would support President Biden's National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism, would quit trying to defund the Office of Civil Rights for Title VI enforcement which protects Jewish students and would increase funding for the High-Risk Nonprofit Grant Program to secure Jewish institutions as a start.

That's why I've cosponsored H. Res. 907, introduced by Representatives Nadler, Raskin, and Goldman. H. Res. 907 thoughtfully and powerfully condemns the rise of antisemitism in the United States-- including on college campuses--and calls on Congress to support the above substantive actions to tackle antisemitism, which congressional Republicans have so far refused to do. Had H. Res. 894 been written as carefully as H. Res. 907, I would vote in support.

RESOLUTION

To condemn the rise in antisemitism, call on all Americans to combat antisemitism in the United States, and implement aspects of the U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism.

Whereas there is an alarming rise in antisemitism in the United States, as reported by the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Anti-Defamation League, and the American Jewish Committee;

Whereas the 2022 FBI Hate Crime Statistics found that antisemitic hate crimes increased by 25 percent from 2021 to 2022;

Whereas, in 2022, the Anti-Defamation League tabulated more than 3,600 antisemitic incidents throughout the United States, the highest number on record since the Anti-Defamation League began tracking antisemitic incidents;

Whereas American Jews account for 2.4 percent of the United States population, but according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation they are the victims of 63 percent of reported religiously motivated hate crimes;

nine in 10 American Jewish respondents believe antisemitism is a problem in the United States; and

(2)

four in 10 Jewish Americans reported changing their behavior out of fear of antisemitism;

Whereas in the aftermath of the October 7, 2023, attacks by the Foreign Terrorist Organization Hamas against Israel, both the Department of Homeland Security and the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation reported an increase in threats against Jewish communities in the United States;

Whereas the rise of antisemitism on college and university campuses is particularly acute, with a 41-percent increase in antisemitism from 2021 to 2022, according to the Anti-Defamation League;

Whereas Jewish students have been targeted for disparate treatment in classes, and derision and exclusion on college campuses and in official student organizations, not only because they are Jewish but often because of their real or perceived views about or connection to, or support for, the State of Israel;

Whereas in the aftermath of the October 7, 2023, attacks by the terrorist group Hamas, there have been increased incidents of antisemitism on college campuses, including hate speech and intimidation as well as student-led demonstrations that have glorified violence, including Hamas terrorist attacks on Israeli civilians, creating an atmosphere of hostility and fear for Jewish students and faculty;

Whereas there has been a growth of Holocaust distortion and denial which has grown in intensity over the past decade;

Whereas antisemitic conspiracy theories fuel other forms of hatred, discrimination, and bias and threaten the foundations of our democracy;

Whereas combating antisemitism is essential to the broader fight against all forms of hatred and to the defense of our democracy;

Whereas, on May 25, 2023, in recognition of the importance to our democracy of combating rising antisemitism, the United States issued the first U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism;

Whereas the National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism highlights more than 100 action steps that government agencies will take and calls for Congress, State and local governments, companies, technology platforms, educators, civil society, and faith leaders to combat antisemitism; and

Whereas countering antisemitism requires bipartisan collaboration and a comprehensive, all-of-government response: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives—

condemns all forms of antisemitism;

(2)

calls on elected officials, faith leaders, and civil society leaders to expeditiously condemn and combat any and all acts of antisemitism and hate;
