We have watched in horror for years as anti-Semitic rhetoric and actions have proliferated, both here at home and abroad, and this painful incident confirms our worst fears. We, members of Congress across the US political spectrum, stand united in our opposition to anti-Semitism and to stamping out this corrosive scourge. May the memory of those lost be a blessing. We will carry these individuals, the wounded, and their families in our hearts as we continue this work. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
