               CALLING ATTENTION TO RISE OF ANTI-SEMITISM

  (Mr. SANTOS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SANTOS. Madam Speaker, I rise to call attention to the concerning 
rise of anti-Semitism that is proliferating nationwide.
  Last weekend, in Plainview, New York, my constituents were subjected 
to the intimidation of the Goyim Defense League, aka the GDL, a growing 
hate organization that propagates anti-Semitic rhetoric.
  It pains me to report that the henchmen of the GDL descended on my 
district and distributed flyers that featured anti-Jewish propaganda 
images of the Star of David drawn onto the heads of Federal lawmakers.
  As the Congressman for Plainview, I am speechless and appalled. For 
me, this is a sobering reminder that even in 2023, anti-Semitic 
incidents like this happen every day across the country.
  It is critical that this body continues to support and stand with the 
Jewish community and Israel. I hope my colleagues join me in the fight 
against anti-Semitism and send a clear message that anti-Semitism will 
not be tolerated in the United States of America.
