WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-AL) has joined Senators John Fetterman (D-PA), Dave McCormick (R-PA), and other Senate colleagues in introducing S. Res. 288, a bipartisan resolution condemning the recent rise in violent antisemitic attacks across the United States.
The resolution responds to several high-profile incidents, including an assault in Boulder, Colorado; an arson attack targeting the Pennsylvania Governor’s residence; and the fatal stabbing of two Israeli embassy staff members outside the Capitol Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. Senators emphasized that these events reflect a broader surge in antisemitic threats facing Jewish communities nationwide.
Senator Fetterman, referencing the 2018 Tree of Life Synagogue shooting in his home state, stated that recent incidents are part of a persistent pattern of hate. “We are starkly reminded that silence is complicity,” he said.
Senator McCormick, who resides in Squirrel Hill near the Tree of Life Synagogue, echoed those concerns, saying, “Protecting my friends and neighbors, and all Jewish people across the country, must be a national priority.”
Britt, who has written publicly on the dangers of rising antisemitism, warned, “These attacks are not isolated — they are part of a dangerous and growing trend that endangers the safety, dignity, and freedom of Jewish Americans.”
