The House of Representatives passed a resolution on Dec. 5 overwhelmingly condemning the rise in antisemitism amid the latest conflict between the Jewish state of Israel and the terrorist group Hamas.
Introduced on Nov. 28 by Reps. David Kustoff (R-Tenn.) and Max Miller (R-Ohio)—the only Jewish Republicans in Congress—the resolution passed 311–14, with 92 voting “present.” All “present” votes were cast by Democrats, while all but one of the “nay” votes were from Democrats.
The resolution listed numerous examples, including the murder of a pro-Israel Jewish man in Los Angeles in November.
It includes the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s working definition of antisemitism, which has been adopted by dozens of countries, including the United States.
