A BILL

To strengthen Federal efforts to counter antisemitism in the United 
States and protect the Jewish community.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; TABLE OF CONTENTS.

(a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ``Jewish American 
Security Act''.
(b) Table of Contents.--The table of contents for this Act is as 
follows:

Sec. 1. Short title; table of contents.
Sec. 2. Findings.
Sec. 3. Statement of policy.
Sec. 4. Protecting Jewish students.
Sec. 5. Securing Jewish communities.
Sec. 6. Documenting online antisemitism.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:
(1) Antisemitism, which is often called ``the oldest 
hatred'', is a serious and growing danger for the Jewish 
community in the United States and around the world.
(2) Antisemitism has unique characteristics, including the 
evolving use of conspiracy theories that blame the various ills 
of society on Jewish people or attribute to Jewish individuals 
a variety of evil and harmful characteristics, as well as the 
portrayal of Jewish people as too powerful or controlling and 
deserving of hatred and mistrust.
(3) Antisemitism also exists when Jewish individuals are 
held responsible for the policies of the Israeli government, or 
attacked, disparaged, or demonized based on their real or 
perceived connection to, affiliation with, or support for, the 
State of Israel as a Jewish state.
(4) Holocaust denial and distortion, including intentional 
efforts to excuse or minimize the impact of the Holocaust and 
dishonor Holocaust victims and survivors, reinforce the need 
for advancing accurate and comprehensive Holocaust education 
globally.
(5) Protecting the history of the Holocaust and recognizing 
and confronting Holocaust denial and distortion are critical to 
preventing antisemitism.
(6) As stated in the American Jewish Committee's report 
entitled ``State of Antisemitism in America 2025'', the 
Committee found that 31 percent of American Jews reported being 
the personal target of antisemitism at least once over the 
preceding year.
(7) In 2024, the Federal Bureau of Investigation identified 
the highest number of anti-Jewish hate crime incidents ever 
recorded by the Bureau since it began collecting data in 1991, 
which number represented an annual increase of 5.8 percent in 
those incidents.
(8) Although Jews only make up around 2 percent of the 
United States population, reported single-bias anti-Jewish hate 
crimes comprised 16 percent of all reported hate crimes and 
nearly 70 percent of all reported religion-based hate crimes in 
2024, which percentages reflect increases from prior years.
(9) In 2024, the Anti-Defamation League (referred to in 
this paragraph as the ``ADL'') reported 9,534 antisemitic 
incidents in the United States, including physical assault, 
vandalism, and harassment, which is a 344 percent increase over 
the average number of such incidents during the prior 5 years 
and an 893 percent increase over the average number of such 
incidents during the prior 10 years. The 2024 number of 
antisemitic incidents is the highest number on record since the 
ADL began tracking antisemitic incidents in 1979.
(10) Jewish Americans have faced an unprecedented rise in 
antisemitic incidents following the October 7, 2023, Hamas 
terrorist attacks on Israel.
(11) Increasing antisemitism in the digital universe marked 
by the amplification of antisemitic harassment, comments, 
tropes, and violent conspiracies on online platforms, often can 
lead to increased security risks and additional offline acts of 
harassment, assault, and vandalism.
(12) On April 13, 2025, on the second day of Passover, an 
individual set multiple fires at the Pennsylvania Governor's 
residence in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, while Governor Josh 
Shapiro and his family were inside, with the attacker stating 
that he was upset by the Governor's stance on the Israel-Hamas 
war.
(13) On May 21, 2025, a gunman shot and killed 2 Embassy of 
Israel staff members, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, as 
the staff members were leaving an event at the Capital Jewish 
Museum, in Washington, DC.
(14) On June 1, 2025, a man used a makeshift flamethrower 
and Molotov cocktails to attack a group in Boulder, Colorado, 
as the group gathered to express solidarity for hostages being 
held by Hamas, which injured at least 13 people and resulted in 
the death of 82-year-old Karen Diamond, a Holocaust survivor.
(15) On January 10, 2026, an attacker set fire to the 
historic Beth Israel Congregation in Jackson, Mississippi, 
saying he was animated by its ``Jewish ties''.
(16) On March 12, 2026, an individual drove a vehicle 
containing explosives into Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, 
Michigan, targeting a synagogue and preschool filled with more 
than 100 children and staff.
(17) Antisemitic incidents have increased dramatically in 
many educational settings over the past several years, with 
many Jewish students facing discrimination or a hostile 
environment at schools, yet antisemitic incidents in schools 
remain underreported.
(18) The Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights 
is tasked with ensuring that all students' civil rights are 
protected on campus, yet there is a backlog of discrimination 
complaints that remain pending before the Office for Civil 
Rights.
(19) On December 11, 2019, President Trump signed Executive 
Order 13899 (20 U.S.C. 2000d note; relating to combating anti-
Semitism) which instructed all executive departments and 
agencies charged with enforcing title VI of the Civil Rights 
Act of 1964 to consider the International Holocaust Remembrance 
Alliance Working Definition of Antisemitism and its 11 
contemporary examples of antisemitism.
(20) On May 25, 2023, the Biden Administration issued the 
first-ever U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism, 
which outlined a whole-of-government and whole-of-society 
approach to tackle antisemitism and included more than 100 
actions for Federal agencies to take and calls to action for 
Congress.
(21) On January 30, 2025, President Trump signed Executive 
Order 14188 (90 Fed. Reg. 8847; relating to additional measures 
to combat antisemitism), to combat the surge of antisemitism on 
college campuses and in communities in the United States.
(22) While antisemitism most directly and intensely 
threatens those who identify or are perceived as Jewish 
Americans, it also undermines democracy and threatens the 
safety and rights of all Americans.

SEC. 3. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

It is the policy of the United States to--
(1) raise awareness of and educate the United States public 
about the history of Jewish Americans, the Holocaust, and 
antisemitism in all of its forms and manifestations;
(2) provide resources to oppose antisemitism; and
(3) implement whole-of-government and whole-of-society 
efforts to combat antisemitism, including through close and

and community leaders.
