WASHINGTON, D.C.—A Congressional resolution calling on elected officials to help educate the public on Jewish American contributions passed the House unanimously, a huge step in combating spiking antisemitism levels nationwide.
"I'm proud the House overwhelmingly passed my resolution to recognize Jewish American Heritage Month. Sharing Jewish American contributions to our nation combats antisemitism and highlights the diversity that makes America so great," stated Rep. Wasserman Schultz.
"We're seeing a significant rise in antisemitism online and in the streets, and we've got to come together on a bipartisan basis to work together to combat it," Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz, a leading pro-Israel supporter, told The Floridian after the unanimous vote.
He referenced the bipartisan nature of H.R. 1215, proposed by Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz following the "heinous" attack on Israel on October 7th, which resulted in the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust.
