This resolution acknowledges the persistent issue of antisemitism in American society, including harassment and hate crimes against Jewish individuals based on their origin, ethnicity, identity, affiliation, or 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 U.S., despite their making up only 2% of the population. The resolution also recalls the deadliest attack against the American Jewish community at the Tree of Life Synagogue in 2018 and recent atrocities committed by Hamas in Israel.

The resolution further mentions a poll indicating that a significant majority of American Jews perceive a high level of antisemitism in the country. It acknowledges the White House's first comprehensive plan to counter antisemitism and its emphasis on the broader impact of such hate on various American communities. The State of Rhode Island, home to the oldest synagogue in the U.S., is highlighted for its historical commitment to religious plurality. The resolution concludes by condemning antisemitism and all identity-based hate and violence, reaffirming Rhode Island's commitment to nondiscrimination and human rights, and directing the Secretary of State to send a certified copy of the resolution to the Jewish Alliance of Greater Rhode Island.
