RESOLUTION

Condemning the antisemitic shooting in Sydney, Australia, and all forms 
of hatred and violence directed at religious communities.

Whereas, on December 14, 2025, a gunman opened fire during a Hanukkah 
celebration in Sydney, Australia, resulting in loss of life, injuries, 
and terror within the Jewish community;
Whereas this act of violence occurred during a sacred religious observance and 
was intended to intimidate and target individuals because of their 
Jewish identity; and
Whereas the United States stands with Australia, with the Jewish community 
worldwide, and with all those affected by this heinous attack: Now, 
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) strongly condemns the antisemitic shooting in Sydney, 
Australia, and all forms of hatred and violence directed at 
religious communities;
(2) expresses heartfelt condolences to the victims, their 
families, and the people of Australia;
(3) affirms the right of all people to worship freely and 
safely;
(4) reiterates the commitment of the United States to 
combating antisemitism and terrorism in all its forms; and

address rising antisemitism and protect its Jewish community.
