HRES 894 United States House · 118th Congress

Strongly condemning and denouncing the drastic rise of antisemitism in the United States and around the world.

HRES 894 is a non-binding House resolution condemning the rise in antisemitic incidents following the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks. It specifically references a 388% surge in U.S. antisemitic incidents reported by the ADL Center on Extremism since that date. The resolution formally states that "anti-Zionism is antisemitism" and calls on leaders to combat all forms of antisemitism globally. It does not create new laws or policies but serves as a symbolic expression of support for Jewish communities. The resolution was introduced by Rep. Kustoff and referred to relevant committees.

Introduced in House → Engrossed in House · 3 edits · Dec 5, 2023

MINOR

This is a standard transition from the introduced version to the engrossed version of HRES 894, a resolution condemning the rise of antisemitism. No substantive policy language was changed. The only content differences are procedural: the sponsor and committee referral language was removed (standard upon engrossment), the date was updated to December 5, 2023, and the Clerk's signature line was added.

TECHNICAL

The sponsor attribution and committee referral language (Mr. Kustoff for himself and Mr. Miller of Ohio, referred to Judiciary and Foreign Affairs) was removed, which is standard when a bill is engrossed.

The Clerk's signature line (Cheryl L. Johnson, Clerk) was added at the end, as is customary on engrossed bills.

TIMELINE

The date was updated from November 28, 2023 to December 5, 2023, reflecting the engrossment date rather than the introduction date.
