Summary

Calls upon European governments to: (1) acknowledge the anti-Semitic character of the attacks on Jewish institutions in cities across Europe in the last 18 months as violations of human rights and to utilize their law enforcement tools to investigate the crimes and punish the perpetrators; (2) decry the rationalizing of attitudes and attacks against Jews as merely a result of popular frustration with the Middle East conflict; and (3) take measures to protect and ensure the security of Jewish citizens and institutions. Expresses the sense of the Senate that: (1) Congress and the Administration must raise this issue in bilateral contacts; (2) the State Department's Annual Country Reports on Human Rights should document this phenomenon worldwide; and (3) the Commission on International Religious Freedom should continue to document and report on this phenomenon.
