SRES 418 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A resolution condemning Hamas and antisemitic student activities on college campuses in the United States.

This resolution (SRES 418) is a symbolic Senate statement condemning Hamas' October 7 attacks on Israel and expressing disapproval of specific student group rhetoric on U.S. campuses. It directly addresses student organizations like Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapters at universities including Harvard, NYU, and UNC, which the resolution claims expressed support for Hamas' violence and antisemitic statements. The resolution formally condemns Hamas' attacks, denounces pro-Hamas student rhetoric as antisemitic, affirms Israel's right to exist, and urges U.S. government support for Israel. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws or policies but represents the Senate's official stance on these campus activities.
