                             ANTI-SEMITISM

  (Mr. BUDD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BUDD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to condemn the increasing anti-
Semitic violence that has spread in recent months, including the recent 
stabbing that happened last month in New York.
  Mr. Speaker, anti-Semitic and anti-Israel attitudes often emerge 
because

of a lack of understanding of the painful history directed at the 
Jewish people and the horrors of the Holocaust.
  For this reason, I introduced H. Res. 782 alongside Representatives 
Zeldin and Kustoff that encourages public schools to design and teach a 
curriculum about the history of anti-Semitism and the Holocaust and it 
calls on Federal law enforcement to hold the perpetrators of these 
attacks accountable.
  Our Jewish community is feeling rattled, frightened, and unsafe. We 
cannot allow these feelings to fester. So in support of this community, 
I am proud to lead a resolution that will help increase understanding 
and rid our country of all anti-Semitic hatred.
