This summer, Rep. Hultgren traveled to Israel with several Members of Congress. Read about his trip here.\n\u201cWhile traveling throughout Israel, I saw how this tiny country faces existential threats every day from its neighbors who have called for its complete destruction. But anti-Jewish hatred plagues the world as numerous reports and news stories confirm that nations from North Africa to Latin America have seen increased incidents of anti-Semitism,\u201d said Rep. Hultgren. \u201cIsrael is a stable democracy and staunch ally that shares our values in a region where instability and violence remain a way of life and where terrorist groups are a constant threat.\u00a0 We need to stand by Israel as it stands on the front lines defending the freedoms and ideals that we in the United States and the West hold dear.\n\u201cEfforts to whitewash or rewrite the history about the Holocaust must be opposed in all their forms. Attacks or persecution of Jews everywhere must be opposed and prosecuted. We must remember that when Western countries turn their backs on Israel and turn a blind eye to anti-Semitism, freedom of belief and practice is jeopardized.\n\u201cI applaud efforts worldwide to condemn anti-Israel hatred or attacks, and in this resolution we urge a redoubling of our commitment to \u2018oppose all efforts to prevent any individual from freely exercising their religion without fear of prosecution or violence.\u2019 When the freedom of one religion or belief is threatened, all are threatened.\u201d\nTo read the full resolution, click here.\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["http://hultgren.house.gov//newsroom/press-releases/hultgren-condemns-anti-semitism-with-house-resolution"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.3626869767904282, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
