 RESOLUTION

 Condemning antisemitic hatred on the anniversary of the terrorist 
 attacks of October 7, 2023.

Whereas, on October 7, 2023, Hamas invaded more than 20 communities in Israel, 
 resulting in the death of more than 1,200 people, injuries to more than 
 4,000 people, and the kidnapping of more than 250 hostages;
Whereas October 7, 2023, was the deadliest day for Jewish people since the 
 Holocaust;
Whereas, since October 7, 2023, Jewish communities in the United States, Israel, 
 and around the world have been unfairly targeted by growing threats of 
 violence and prejudice linked to antisemitic hatred;
Whereas such threats, though distinct in method and geography, share a common 
 pattern of targeting Jewish individuals or symbols of Jewish life and 
 civic engagement;
Whereas no individual in the United States should be subjected to violence or 
 intimidation because of their religion, heritage, or peaceful advocacy; 
 and
Whereas community leaders have spoken out against hateful actions and language 
 that associate the Jewish people with actions of the Israeli government, 
 urging respect for Jewish traditions and communities: Now, therefore, be 
 it
 Resolved, That the Senate--

    (1) condemns Hamas in the harshest terms for its 
 premeditated, coordinated, and violent terrorist attacks on 
 Israel;

    (2) condemns the antisemitic attacks on Sarah Milgrim, 
 Yaron Lischinsky, Karen Diamond, and the family of Governor 
 Josh Shapiro, and all acts of antisemitism, whether expressed 
 through threats, vandalism, or violence;

    (3) reaffirms the commitment to protecting the rights of 
 all people in the United States to assemble peacefully and 
 practice their faith without fear of violence;

    (4) condemns hateful language that--
        (A) makes general claims about all Jewish people;
        (B) associates Jewish Americans and Jewish people 
 around the world with the military and government 
 actions of the State of Israel; and
            (C) accuses Jewish people categorically of being 
 hateful or harboring genocidal intent; and

    (5) urges elected officials, community leaders, and civil 
 society to speak out against antisemitism.
