               ANTI-SEMITISM IS A THREAT TO ALL AMERICANS

  (Ms. WILD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. WILD. Mr. Speaker, this week, horrific anti-Semitic flyers were 
distributed across my district in Pennsylvania. I heard from friends 
and neighbors who found flyers in their front yards or in their 
driveways. These hateful flyers were found in some cases by children.
  I am not going to show nor repeat the flyers' disgusting words 
because that is what those who spread hate want, for people to amplify 
their insidious message, one that is on the rise as the Anti-Defamation 
League records year-to-year increases in anti-Semitism.
  I am a proud Jewish American, but anti-Semitism isn't just a threat 
to those of us who are Jewish. It is a threat to all of us because 
anti-Semitism, like other forms of bigotry that spread lies and stock 
hatred, is an existential threat to our values as Americans.
  It takes all of us, drawing strength and community from one another, 
to stand up to those who want to divide us. Let's keep standing 
together so that, united as neighbors, we can root out the anti-
Semitism and hate that endangers our fundamental American values.
