U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) joined a bipartisan group led by Senators Tim Kaine (D-VA) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) to introduce a resolution condemning all forms of anti-Semitism.

"Less than a week ago, we saw another horrific outburst of anti-Semitic violence at the Chabad of Poway synagogue on the final night of Passover. This latest attack is one in a series targeting the American Jewish community and underscores the urgent need for our nation to come together and unequivocally condemn anti-Semitism," said Shaheen. "Yesterday was Holocaust Remembrance Day, which reminds us that we are forever bound to the collective promise made in the aftermath of our world's darkest hour: Never again. This bipartisan resolution reaffirms that pledge and Congress' commitment to combat anti-Semitism wherever it occurs to ensure that history is never allowed to repeat itself."
