The House Resolution condemns the murders of Israeli Embassy employees Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, who were tragically killed in Washington, D.C. on May 21, 2025. Both individuals dedicated their lives to fostering peaceful relations between Israel and its neighboring countries and were specifically targeted due to their support for Israel. The resolution highlights the concerning rise in antisemitism in the United States, particularly following the October 7, 2023 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, which has been reflected in a significant increase in antisemitic incidents reported by the Anti-Defamation League.

In response to these events, the Louisiana House of Representatives expresses its strong condemnation of the murders and any acts of hatred or violence directed at individuals based on their religion, race, gender, ethnicity, nationality, political affiliation, or other identities. The resolution serves as a call for unity against such acts of violence and discrimination, reaffirming the commitment to protect the rights and dignity of all individuals.
