On May 18, 2022, the House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed House Resolution 1125, a measure formally condemning the rise of antisemitism in the United States and around the world. The resolution passed under a suspension of the rules, a procedure typically used for non-controversial legislation that requires a two-thirds majority for approval. The resolution calls on elected officials and community leaders to denounce antisemitic incidents and urges the federal government to take specific steps to combat hate crimes. This includes improving the reporting of such crimes, increasing funding for security at community centers and religious institutions, and promoting educational programs about the history of antisemitism and the Holocaust. The vote demonstrated significant bipartisan consensus, passing with a final tally of 420-1. All voting Democrats and 199 Republicans supported the measure, while one Republican member voted against it.
