 RESOLUTION

 Condemning antisemitism and remembering Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah 
 Milgrim.

Whereas antisemitism is a centuries-old form of hatred and discrimination that 
 has led to immeasurable suffering, persecution, and loss of life, 
 culminating most horrifically in the Holocaust, and continues to 
 manifest in violence, vandalism, and policies targeting Jewish 
 communities around the world;
Whereas recent years have seen a rise in antisemitic incidents in the United 
 States, including attacks on synagogues, Jewish schools, museums, 
 cultural centers, and individuals identified or perceived as Jewish;
Whereas the tragic and senseless murders of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim 
 are a stark reminder of the dangers posed by rising antisemitism and 
 terrorism targeting the Jewish community;
Whereas Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim were attending a panel discussion to 
 promote peace and resolve conflict when their lives were tragically 
 taken;
Whereas Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim were both employees of the Israeli 
 Embassy in the United States where they advocated for peace, education, 
 and dialogue, and were both committed to standing against hatred and 
 violence; and
Whereas the murderer is a far-left activist and has been affiliated with the 
 Party for Socialism and Liberation: Now, therefore, be it
 Resolved, That the House of Representatives--

    (1) strongly condemns antisemitism in all its forms, 
 including physical violence, vandalism, online harassment, and 
 discriminatory policies or actions;

    (2) remembers the lives of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah 
 Milgrim and celebrates their work;

    (3) condemns the hateful and senseless acts of terrorism 
 that resulted in the deaths of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah 
 Milgrim; and

    (4) supports the enforcement of existing laws that punish 
 hate crimes, protect religious freedom, and ensure justice for 
 victims of antisemitic violence and discrimination.
