The resolution acknowledges the persistent and pervasive issue of antisemitism in American society, including harassment based on Jewish origin, ancestry, ethnicity, identity, affiliation, or religious faith. It references the U.S. Department of State's definition of antisemitism and notes the disproportionate number of hate crimes against Jews in the United States, despite them making up only 2% of the population. The resolution also mentions the deadliest attack against the American Jewish community at the Tree of Life Synagogue in 2018 and the recent atrocities committed by Hamas in Israel, which have resulted in significant loss of Jewish lives and trauma.

The resolution cites a poll indicating that a large majority of American Jews perceive a high level of antisemitism in the country. It highlights the responsibility of institutions and community organizations to protect citizens from hate and bigotry, including antisemitism. The White House's comprehensive plan to counter antisemitism is acknowledged for providing tools to address the issue. The resolution also emphasizes that antisemitism threatens not only Jews but all Americans, as those who promote antisemitic views often target other communities as well. Finally, the resolution condemns and rejects antisemitism, reaffirms the commitment to nondiscrimination and human rights, and directs a certified copy of the resolution to be sent to the Jewish Alliance of Greater Rhode Island.
