                               RESOLUTION


 
                 Condemning all forms of antisemitism.

Whereas antisemitism is a unique form of prejudice stretching back millennia 
        that attacks the equal humanity of the Jewish people;
Whereas antisemitism has long perpetrated myths about Jews, including the 
        Russian fabrication of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and the wide 
        circulation of libelous falsehoods about the Jewish murder of infants;
Whereas, in its most extreme form, antisemitism aims at the physical destruction 
        of the Jewish people, as seen in pogroms, forced conversions and Nazi 
        Germany's murder of over six million Jews;
Whereas antisemitism has included attacks on the livelihood of Jews including 
        prohibitions on land ownership, campaigns to boycott, confiscate or 
        destroy Jewish businesses, and denial of the ability of Jews to practice 
        certain professions;
Whereas, in the United States, Jews have suffered from systematic discrimination 
        in the form of exclusion from home ownership in certain neighborhoods, 
        prohibition from staying in certain hotels, restrictions upon membership 
        in private clubs and other associations, limitations upon admission to 
        certain educational institutions and other barriers to equal justice 
        under the law;
Whereas, in the United States, Jews have faced, and continue to face, false 
        accusations of divided loyalty between the United States and Israel, 
        false claims that they purchase political power with money, and false 
        accusations about control of the financial system, along with other 
        negative stereotypes; and
Whereas Jews are the targets of the majority of hate crimes committed in the 
        United States against any religious group, including attacks on houses 
        of worship and Jewish community centers: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the United States Senate condemns and commits to 
combatting all forms of antisemitism.
