Nadler introduces resolution condemning anti-Semitism in Europe
Troubling incidents said to be on the rise
U.S. Rep. Jerrold Nadler, a democrat whose district includes Brooklyn neighborhoods, introduced a bipartisan resolution in the House with U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam, condemning the growing anti-Semitism abroad.
“Already in 2014 alone, in Jewish communities across the world, we have seen increased incidents of murder at Jewish sites, violent attacks and death threats against Jews, as well as gun violence, arson, graffiti and other property desecration at Jewish places of worship,” Nadler (D- Sunset Park, Bay Ridge and Bensonhurst) said in a statement. “We must condemn these acts in the strongest possible terms and do all that we can to prevent the spread of anti-Semitism.”
Nadler and Roskam (R-IL) introduced their resolution before Congress left Washington, D.C., for August recess.
“We must unequivocally condemn all forms of anti-Semitism and reject attempts to justify anti-Semitic hatred or violent attacks as an acceptable expression of frustration with political events in the Middle East or anywhere else,” Nadler said.
