 ,,representatives  ,july #ca1 #bjad    
,mr4 ,nadler 7for himself1 ,mr4 ,roskam1
 and ,mrs4 ,lowey7 submitted the        
following resolution2 which was referred
 to the ,committee on ,foreign ,affairs 
,,resolution  ,condemning all forms of  
anti-,semitism and rejecting attempts to
 justify anti-,jewish hatred or violent 
attacks as an acceptable expression of  
disapproval or frustration over         
political events in the ,middle ,east or
 elsewhere4  ,whereas there is clear    
evidence of increasing incidents and    
expressions of anti-,semitism throughout
 the world2 ,whereas the ,united ,states
 ,department of ,state released this    
week the ,international ,religious      
,freedom ,report for #bjac and noted in 
the ,executive ,summary1 ,throughout    
,europe1 the historical stain of        
anti-,semitism continued to be a fact of
 life on ,internet fora1 in soccer      
stadiums1 and through ,nazi-like        

salutes1 leading many individuals who   
are ,jewish to conceal their religious  
identity42 ,whereas anti-,semitic acts  
committed and recorded in #bjad around  
the world1 including countries in the   
,middle ,east1 ,latin ,america1 ,europe1
 and ,north ,america1 include incidents 
of murder at ,jewish sites1 violent     
attacks and death threats against ,jews1
 as well as gun violence1 arson1        
graffiti1 anti-,semitic cartoons1 and   
other property desecration at ,jewish   
places of worship and communal activity2
 ,whereas a survey by the               
,anti-,defamation ,league of attitudes  
towards ,jews in more than #ajj         
countries around the world1 released in 
,may #bjad found that over a quarter of 
the people surveyed 7#bf percent7 hold  
anti-,semitic views1 a stunning         
indicator of the stubborn resilience of 
anti-,semitic beliefs1 even in countries
 where no ,jews reside2 ,whereas        
anti-,semitic attitudes in the ,middle  
,east and ,north ,africa 7#gd percent7  

far surpass those in any other region2  
,whereas the finding that #gj percent of
 those around the world who harbor      
anti-,semitic attitudes have never met a
 ,jew shows how deeply embedded         
stereotypes of ,jews that developed over
 centuries are in the consciousness of  
many countries and societies2 ,whereas  
the ,anti-,defamation ,league survey    
also found that a majority of people    
surveyed overall have either not heard  
of the ,holocaust or do not believe it  
happened as has been documented by      
factual accounts and recorded by        
history2 ,whereas this month ,hungarian 
,prime ,minister ,viktor ,orban erected 
a monument commemorating the ,nazi      
,occupation of ,hungary that white      
washes the ,hungarian government's role 
in deporting over #djj1jjj ,jews1 most  
of whom died in ,auschwitz2 ,whereas    
,president ,barack ,obama said in his   
remarks at the ,,usc ,shoah ,foundation 
,dinner on ,may #g1 #bjad1 ''' if the   
memories of the ,shoah survivors teach  

us anything1 it is that silence is      
evil's greatest co-conspirator4 ,and    
it's up to us--each of us1 every one of 
us--to forcefully condemn any denial of 
the ,holocaust4 ,it's up to us to combat
 not only anti-,semitism1 but racism and
 bigotry and intolerance in all their   
forms1 here and around the world4 ,it's 
up to us to speak out against rhetoric  
that threatens the existence of a       
,jewish homeland and to sustain         
,america's unshakeable commitment to    
,israel's security2 ,whereas in #bjjd1  
,congress passed the ,global            
,anti-,semitism ,review ,act1 which     
established an ,office to ,monitor and  
,combat ,anti-,semitism1 headed by a    
,special ,envoy to ,monitor and ,combat 
,anti-,semitism2 ,whereas the ,united   
,states ,government has consistently    
supported efforts to address the rise in
 anti-,semitism through its bilateral   
relationships and through engagement in 
international organizations such as the 
,united ,nations 7,,un71 the            

,organization for ,security and         
,cooperation in ,europe 7,,osce71 and   
the ,organization of ,american ,states  
7,,oas72 ,whereas during ,israel's ,july
 #bjad ,operation ,protective ,edge     
aiming to stem the rocket fire and      
terrorist infiltrations by ,hamas1 ,jews
 and ,jewish institutions and property  
have been attacked in ,europe and       
elsewhere1 including attempts to invade 
a synagogue in ,paris1 fire-bombings of 
synagogues in ,france and ,germany1     
assaults on ,jewish individuals1 and    
swastikas spray-painted in a heavily    
,jewish area of ,london and also in     
,rome's historic ,jewish quarter2       
,whereas anti-,semitic imagery and      
comparisons of ,jews and ,israel to     
,nazis have been on display at          
demonstrations against ,israel's actions
 in ,gaza around the ,united ,states1   
,europe1 the ,middle ,east and ,latin   
,america1 including--  7#a7 placards    
held at many demonstrations across the  
globe comparing ,israeli leaders to     

,nazis1 accusing ,israel of carrying out
 a ,holocaust against ,palestinians1 and
 equating the ,jewish ,star of ,david   
with the ,nazi swastika1 and  7#b7      
demonstrations that have included chants
 of ,death to ,jews1 ,death to ,israel1 
or expressions of support for suicide   
terrorism against ,israeli or ,jewish   
civilians2  ,whereas ,turkish ,prime    
,minister ,recep ,tayyip ,erdogan's     
continued anti-,israel incitement1      
including stating that ,israel's defense
 against ,hamas rocket fire is barbarism
 that surpasses ,hitler1 sparks         
unwarranted anger towards ,jews and     
endangers the ,turkish ,jewish community
 and ,jews around the world2 ,whereas   
the ,governments in ,france1 ,germany1  
and ,italy1 the three countries where   
the majority of incidents have occurred1
 have strongly condemned anti-,semitism 
as unacceptable in ,european society1   
including ,french ,president ,hollande  
and ,prime ,minister ,valls1 ,german    
,chancellor ,merkel1 and the foreign    

ministers of ,france1 ,germany1 and     
,italy collectively1 have all made clear
 statements that such attacks on their  
,jewish communities are intolerable1 and
 they have matched those words with     
strong law enforcement2 ,whereas some   
civil society leaders have set strong   
examples1 including the condemnation by 
the ,union of ,mosques of ,france1 on   
behalf of their #ejj mosques1 called the
 attacks morally unjust and             
unacceptable1 and stated1 nothing can   
justify any act that could harm our     
,jewish compatriots1 their institutions 
or their places of worship and1 in      
,germany1 the largest circulation paper1
 ,bild1 featured statements against     
anti-,semitism from politicians1        
business leaders1 civic leaders1 media  
personalities and celebrities with      
,never ,again ,jew ,hatred on the front 
page2 and ,whereas ,congress supports   
freedom of expression and the right to  
criticize any government or its policy  
and has played an essential role in     

shining a spotlight on the resurgence of
 anti-,semitism worldwide3 ,now1        
therefore1 be it  ,that the ,house of   
,representatives--  7#a7 unequivocally  
condemns all forms of anti-,semitism and
 rejects attempts to justify            
anti-,jewish hatred or violent attacks  
as an acceptable expression of          
disapproval or frustration over         
political events in the ,middle ,east or
 elsewhere2  7#b7 decries and condemns  
the comparison of ,israel to ,nazis     
perpetrating a ,holocaust or genocide as
 an insult to the memory of those who   
perished in the ,holocaust and an       
affront to those who survived and their 
children and grandchildren1 the         
righteous gentiles who saved ,jewish    
lives at peril to their own lives and to
 those who bravely fought to defeat the 
,nazis2  7#c7 applauds those foreign    
leaders1 especially in ,france1 ,italy1 
and ,germany1 who have condemned        
anti-,semitic acts and calls on those   
who have yet to take firm action against

 anti-,semitism in their countries1 to  
do so2  7#d7 reaffirms its support for  
the mandate of the ,united ,states
