 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

(This measure has not been amended since it was reported to the Senate on April 2, 2009. The summary of that version is repeated here.)

Condemns all forms of anti-Semitism and rejects attempts to rationalize anti-Jewish hatred or attacks as a justifiable expression of disaffection over political events in the Middle East or elsewhere.

Decries the comparison of Jews to Nazis perpetrating a Holocaust or genocide as a pernicious form of anti-Semitism.

Calls on leaders to speak out against manifestations of anti-Semitism that have entered the Middle East debate.

Reaffirms support for the mandate of the Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism.

Urges the Secretary of State to: (1) maintain the fight against anti-Semitism as a U.S. foreign policy priority; (2) appoint the Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism; (3) raise with US allies in the Middle East their failure to halt anti-Jewish incitement; and (4) ensure that Department of State Annual Country Reports on Human Rights and International Religious Freedom Reports continue to report on incidents of anti-Semitism.
