Bipartisan Efforts to Combat Antisemitism Gain Momentum in Senate and Iowa

A bipartisan resolution condemning antisemitism, led by U.S. Senators Chris Van Hollen, Marsha Blackburn, Jacky Rosen, and James Lankford, has passed the Senate unanimously. The resolution condemns instances of antisemitism at colleges and universities in the United States and encourages higher education leaders to publicly denounce speech that incites or celebrates violence against any people based on religious beliefs, national origin, or ancestry. It also urges institutions of higher education to engage with Jewish student organizations and ensure a safe environment for Jewish students, faculty, and staff.
