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.
