Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committee on Education and Workforce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
H.Res. 498 is a congressional resolution that condemns a recent surge in antisemitic violence and hate crimes targeting Jewish Americans in the United States. The resolution specifically references several violent incidents since October 2023, including firebombings, shootings, and assaults motivated by anti-Israel sentiment, and asserts that while peaceful protest is constitutionally protected, violence and intimidation are not. The resolution calls on academic institutions to reject antisemitism, support full investigations and prosecutions of perpetrators, and reaffirm American values of religious liberty and equal protection for all citizens. This resolution does not establish new law or allocate funding; rather, it expresses the House's official position on the issue and urges federal authorities and institutions to take action against antisemitic violence and organizations allegedly linked to supporting terrorism.
