RESOLUTION Concerning the rise in anti-Semitism in Europe.
Whereas there has been a significant rise in anti-Semitic attacks on Jewish people and Jewish institutions in Europe during the last 18 months;
Whereas the continued violence in the Middle East has fueled anti-Semitic sentiments in Europe;
Whereas on March 31, 2002, the Or Aviv synagogue in Marseille, France, was burned to the ground by anti-Semitic arsonists;
Whereas on March 30, 2002, Shneur Zalman Teldon and Zev Goldberg, Yeshiva students from New Jersey, were brutally beaten on the streets of Berlin, Germany, in an anti-Semitic attack;
Whereas in April 2002, supporters of Swiss Ambassador to Germany, Thomas Borer, alleged that he was removed from his post as a result of a `Jewish plot' against him;
Whereas in Belgium, many anti-Semitic attacks have been reported against Jewish institutions including a gasoline bomb attack on a Brussels synagogue;
Whereas on April 11, 2002 in Bondy, France, fifteen hooded attackers wielding sticks and metal bars assaulted a teen-age soccer team from the Maccabi Bondy association after making anti-Semitic remarks; and
Whereas anti-Semitic attacks have impacted every nation in Europe: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that--
(1) the governments of Europe should take all necessary steps to protect the safety and well-being of their respective Jewish communities; and
(2) the governments of Europe should make a concerted effort to cultivate an atmosphere of cooperation and reconciliation among the Jewish and non-Jewish residents of Europe.
A. Isn't going to happen. The EU weenies are on a PC crusade against Christianity.
B. Why just christians? Jews have been part of European countries longer than most of these existed as such. (There were Jews in Britain before the Angles and Jews in France before the Franks.)Jews are part of Western Civ. Muslims aren't.
(2) the governments of Europe should make a concerted effort to cultivate an atmosphere of cooperation and reconciliation among the Christian and non-Christian residents of Europe.
Sorry. The EU is a PC wasteland.
Once again America serves Jewish/Israel interests.
1. It couldn't be that we are slapping around the EU for all the PC crap they give us? If so it is in our interest.
2. No, you couldn't possible be a subscribert ot hte Liberty Lobby?
. Here's an idea...why not kep our noses out of other countries completely and for the sake of fairness create an Immigration code just like Israels and Mexicos (i.e. no more open door policy).
Good idea. ALso irrelevent.
"I believe that for the small numbers of Jewish people in the United States, they exercise a tremendous amount of influence on the affairs of government. ... Mr. President, Mr. Clinton, instead of exercising the strength of a man whose country contributes at least $4 billion every year to the state of Israel, America has influence in Israel but is not using that influence in a constructive way, but, rather, pays lip service to the Palestinians while she bows to the dictates of Netanyahu and the strong political Jewish lobby."

The U.S. House of Representatives has unanimously approved a resolution urging European governments to curb an increase of anti-Semitism in their countries.
The non-binding resolution, which passed 412-0, cited a significant rise in anti-Semitic attacks on Jewish institutions and people in Europe over the past 18 months. The House attributed the rise in attacks to heightened Israeli-Palestinian violence.
The House said European governments should take all necessary steps to protect the safety and well-being of their Jewish communities.
In April, 99 U.S. Senators signed a letter to President Bush urging him to take a forceful stand with other world leaders against anti-Jewish actions and rhetoric.
