Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives against the malignant and metastasizing ideology of anti-Semitism.

House Resolution 557 is a non-binding proposal that formally states the House of Representatives' opposition to anti-Semitism and affirms the right of the State of Israel to exist. The resolution supports government programs aimed at eliminating anti-Semitism and declares that political criticisms of Zionism should not be used as a justification for anti-Semitic rhetoric. Because this is a "sense of the House" resolution, it does not create new laws or mandate federal spending, but rather serves as an official statement of the chamber's policy positions and values.
