House Concurrent Resolution No. HCR 123, introduced by Representative Bayham, condemns antisemitic violence and threats occurring on college campuses in Louisiana, while expressing support for Jewish students, faculty, staff, and communities. The resolution highlights the rise in antisemitic incidents following the October 7, 2023, terrorist attacks by Hamas on Israel, which have led to protests on American campuses that have turned violent and targeted Jewish individuals. It details specific incidents of harassment, intimidation, and vandalism against Jewish symbols and individuals at institutions such as Tulane University and Loyola University, emphasizing the hostile environment created by these protests.

The resolution calls for the condemnation of violence, intimidation, and antisemitism on college campuses, affirming the rights of all students to assemble peacefully and the necessity for Jewish students to feel safe and secure while accessing campus facilities. It also criticizes the unequal treatment of Jewish students by faculty and administrators, who have allegedly sided with protestors and failed to protect Jewish individuals from harassment. The resolution aims to ensure that Jewish students can attend classes and worship without fear of violence or intimidation, and it directs that copies of the resolution be sent to various Jewish organizations and institutions in Louisiana.
