WASHINGTON – The US Senate unanimously approved a resolution condemning anti-Semitism in Europe on Thursday.
The resolution, authored by Sen. Bob Menendez had 60 cosponsors. It calls on the secretary of state and attorney general to work with the European Union and other European governments to address the rise in anti-Semitism.
United States and European officials are charged with taking a stand against anti-Semitism and working to end it, Menendez said.
“We have witnessed what happens when anti-Semitism is not condemned whenever and wherever it arises, and we must ensure that history is not repeated,” Menendez said in a statement to JTA.
Specifically, the resolution calls for senior-level special envoys to monitor and combat anti-Semitism and for governments to train law enforcement on how to handle hate crimes and collect data on anti-Semitism.
