H. Res. 481

In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

June 9, 2025.
Whereas, on June 1, 2025, in Boulder, Colorado, a peaceful gathering held by the 
group ``Run for Their Lives'' was violently attacked by an individual 
armed with incendiary devices, resulting in multiple injuries, including 
to elderly participants, in what authorities have called a targeted, 
ideologically motivated act of terrorism;
Whereas this attack represents the latest in a growing trend of politically and 
religiously motivated violence directed at Jewish individuals and 
institutions across the United States;
Whereas, on May 21, 2025, two Israeli Embassy staff members--Yaron Lischinsky 
and Sarah Lynn Milgrim--were fatally shot outside the Capital Jewish 
Museum in Washington, DC, following a reception for diplomats, and the 
suspect shouted ``Free, free Palestine!'' during his arrest;
Whereas, on April 13, 2025, an individual set multiple fires using incendiary 
devices at the Pennsylvania Governor's Residence while Governor Josh 
Shapiro and his family were inside following a Passover Seder; the 
suspect, motivated by hostility toward the Governor's stance on Israel 
and Palestinians, admitted intent to cause harm and now faces charges 
including attempted murder, terrorism, and arson;
Whereas these attacks, though distinct in method and geography, share a common 
pattern of targeting Jewish individuals or symbols of Jewish life and 
civic engagement;
Whereas no American should be subjected to violence or intimidation because of 
their religion, heritage, or peaceful advocacy; and
Whereas acts of antisemitism--whether expressed through threats, vandalism, or 
violence--are fundamentally incompatible with the values of the United 
States and must be condemned unequivocally: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) condemns in the strongest possible terms the June 1, 2025, 
targeted act of terror in Boulder, Colorado, as a cowardly act of 
ideologically motivated violence;
(2) recognizes this attack as part of a disturbing pattern of 
targeted aggression against Jewish individuals in the United States;
(3) reaffirms its commitment to protecting the rights of all 
Americans to assemble peacefully and practice their faith without fear 
of violence;
(4) calls on Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies to 
ensure thorough investigation and prosecution of all such incidents; and
(5) urges elected officials, community leaders, and civil society to 
speak out against antisemitism and politically motivated violence in all 
forms.
Attest:

Clerk.
